516 Mr. H. Grose-Smith on new 
and a space above the subcostal nervure not quite reaching 
thecostal margin. In H. osyris, H. ists, Stgr., and H. serapis, 
Stgr., this pale space is white and extends beyond the cell to 
the inner margin. 
On the underside the pale transverse band below the cell 
of the anterior wings to the middle of the inner margin is 
narrower than in HH. osyrzs, and on the posterior wings the 
discal ocelli are smaller and the fulvous rings surrounding 
them are more dusky. 
The female differs from the same sex of H. osyris in similar 
respects. 
Exp. of wings 14 inch. 
Hlab, Samarai (Woodford) and Tupulamu, British New 
Guinea. 
Described from a pair from the former place and two males 
from the latter place. 
In Mr. Grose-Smith’s collection. 
Thysonotis lygia. 
Male.— Upperside. Both wings dull blue: anterior wings 
with the costal and outer margins narrowly greyish black; a 
patch of white scales in the central area below the cell at the 
junction of the submedian nervules with the median nervure. 
Posterior wings with the outer two thirds of the costal 
margin to the apex broadly white, and a broad greyish-black 
outer margin, becoming wider towards the anal angle. 
Underside. Anterior wings white, with a broad black band 
on the costal and apical margins, which extends over the 
upper third of the cell and becomes wider towards the apex, 
thence narrowing along the outer margin to the outer angle. 
Posterior wings closely resemble those of 7. phroso, Grose- 
Smith, but the subbasal black band is narrower and the 
white band outside it extends further along the costal margin 
to the apex; the black spots in the submarginal blue band 
are less elongate ; cilia of both wings black. 
Female.— Upperside scarcely differs from 7. phroso, but on 
the posterior wings the costal white area is wider. 
Underside also closely resembles 7. phroso, but on the 
posterior wings the subbasal black band is narrower and the 
basal blue area is more extended. 
Exp. of wings, ¢ 14, 9 1% inch.
