also a dark mark outside the light cross band near the outer 

 margin : on the posterior wings a narrow dark waved line, the 

 main direction being nearly straight, crosses the wing from 

 the middle of the costa, past the end of the cell, towards the 

 inner margin ; another short broken line passes from the costal 

 nervure to the middle of the cell ; there are four spots between 

 the cross line and the outer margin, the innermost black and 

 white, the middle ones white, and the uppermost black, with 

 a few tawny scales on its inner side ; a very faint submarginal 

 line follows the curve of the outer edge. 



$ . Similar to the male, but browner, and has two red 

 marks within the cell, a dark submarginal line on the posterior 

 wings, inside of which are four black spots, that nearest the 

 anal angle bearing a blue pupilla.

Ohs. Allied to E. aglaura^ Dby., but without any tawny

 greenish blue, as in E. Hewitsonij Feld. 



28. Callithea Whitelyi. 



^ . Exp. 2*55 in. Antennae black ; palpi grey in front ; 

 head and prothorax black, thorax and abdomen tinged with 

 dark blue : wings rich glossy blue, rather darker towards the 

 base ; costa and apex of the anterior wings black ; a broad 

 curved green band crosses the wing at its widest part to the 

 anal angle : a band of the same colour borders the outer mar- 

 gin of the posterior wing ; the margin itself is black, and the 

 cilia white : beneath bronzy green, the base only of both wings 

 red : there are four black spots near the outer margin of the 

 anterior wings : four rows of black spots follow the curve of 

 the outer margin of the hind wing ; the innermost passes just 

 outside the cell, and consists chiefly of rather elongate trian- 

 gular spots ; in the next the spots are almost circular ; in the 

 next the spots become Unciform towards the inner margin ; in 

 the outermost the spots are lunate. 



Hab. Valley of the Cosnipata {H. Whitely). 



29. PapMa lineata. 



^ . Exp. 2'90 in. Antennae and head wanting ; thorax and 

 abdomen greenish black : anterior wings considerably pro- 

 duced at the apical and strongly falcate at the anal angle, 

 outer margin slightly concave, very dark green ; base of the 

 wing, a series of six spots arranged across the apical angle 

 and thence down the outer margin, and the whole of the poste- 

 rior wings green : posterior wings show a notch, but are with- 

 out caudal appendage : beneath glossy brown freckled with
