portion of the outer margin ; the discal band as above, but 

 margined on both sides with dark brown, white on fore wing 

 and upper half of hind wing, the remaining portion being of 

 the bluish-grey colour of the wing and very slightly irrorated 

 in some of its central portions ; discoidal and subbasal marks 

 as in the male. 



Expanse of wings, g 2& to 2 T 'V, ? 2^ to 3fV inches. 



Rangoon, June, July, and August 1886. Many examples 

 of both sexes. 



Allied to E. kesava, Moore, much resembling that species 

 in the male, but widely different in the female, especially in 

 the size and shape of the discal band and in the blue colora- 

 tion of the hind wing below. Undoubtedly the two sexes 

 belong to one species, the markings being identical and all 

 having; been taken toe-ether. 



4. Euthalia laudabilis, n. sp. 



£ ?. Upperside bright metallic blue-green; a broad bluish- 

 grey discal band across both wings, broad on the costa of the 

 fore wing (which it does not quite touch) and gradually 

 attenuated downwards towards the abdominal margin of the 

 hind wing, near which it becomes more or less obsolete, its 

 inner margin sinuous on fore wing ; this band is bright and 

 distinct in the female and indistinct and nearly obsolete in the 

 male, except at the costa of the fore wing ; fore wing with 

 two discoidal black-lined marks, the upper part of the inner 

 one centred with vermilion ; hind wing with one black-linecl 

 mark ; both wings with a submarginal lunular dark band and 

 witli the apex of fore wing suffused with blackish. 



Underside bluish grey, with greyish-brown transverse 

 fascia?, one just beyond the middle and two submarginal and 

 close together, the outer one lunular and nearly obsolete in 

 the male ; fore wing with discoidal marks as above ; hind 

 wing with two discoidal marks and two rings above them, 

 the upper end of the inner discoidal mark and both rings 

 being centred with vermilion. 



Expanse of wings, <$ 3 T ,5 ,y, ? 4f^ to 4 T 6 ,j inches. 



North Kanara, May, June, and July 1.S86. 



Allied to E. evelina, Stoll, who gives the locality as Ben- 

 gal ; but no other example appears to have come from that 

 locality. Stoll's figure agrees with the Ceylon insect on the 

 upperside, but on the underside it is without purplish and 

 with pale spots on a dusky outer margin to both wings ; both 

 are widely different from the insect now described not only in 

 the coloration being bright metallic blue-green instead of
