442 Dr. A. G. Butler on 



far as I have been able to ascertain, the following seems to 

 represent a complete list. 



The genus Cyam'ri's is characterized among the smooth- 

 ejed genera without tails by having the costal vein of the 

 primaries united by a short frcnum (or cross-vein) to the first 

 subcostal branch ; in its neuration therefore it nearly ap- 

 proaches PepUjihorus {P. hylaf<^ Cramer, and allies), a genus 

 of tailed Lycainidse with densely hairy eyes. 



This cross- vein in Cyaniris distinguishes it at once from 

 Lycanopsis, just as the cross-vein of Pejyliphorus separates it 

 from Lavipides, to which, in spite of its more Thysanotis-\\kQ 

 colouring, it is undoubtedly nearly related. 



From the variable character of some of the males in 

 Cyaniris it is not easy to split it up into groups, but De Nic^- 

 ville has separated the earlier species by the broad dark 

 costal border.

Belongs to the group with blackish costal area to the 

 primaries, and should probably stand next to C. melcuna.
