Genus Amesia, Westwood. 



1. Amesia jtjvenis, n. sp. Most nearly allied to A. venusta : primaries rich purplish 

 chocolate ; apical area, and a series of five marginal spots ultramarine blue ; a series of 

 eight submarginal white dots ; a sickle-shaped series of five discal white dots : secon- 

 daries red-brown, with two submarginal series of white spots, tbe inner or discal series 

 ill defined : body blue-black ; head and tegulse spotted with blue. Wings below red-brown, 

 costal half of primaries purplish ; base of costa metallic green ; two submarginal series of 

 white spots uniting into streaks at anal angle of secondaries, the inner series of prima- 

 ries deeply incurved, the three uppermost spots of the outer series edged internally 

 with blue ; body below metallic green spotted with white. Expanse of wings 2 inches 

 9 fines. S, Malacca. Easily distinguished from its allies by its pale red-brown 

 secondaries. 



2. Amesia pexifascia, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc. xiii. p. 115. Primaries rich purplish 

 chocolate, external two fifths covered by a broad externally deeply digitate dentated 

 snow-white band, interrupted by the black nervures, the portion crossing the end of the 

 cell divided through the centre into two large spots ; secondaries almost exactly as in 

 A. eiiplceoides of Hemch-S chaffer, but the anal angle dark greenish-grey ; body deep 

 purplish chocolate, the three last abdominal segments blue-green ; palpi, tegulse, and 

 thorax spotted with lilacine dots. Primaries below as above, but with a basal white 

 spot, two costal, two subcostal, two discoidal, and two interno-median blue-edged white 

 spots ; secondaries below nearly as in A. etiploeoides, but the anal angle grey ; body 

 below brown, with a lateral series of blue-edged white spots. Expanse of wings 3 inches 

 11 lines. ? , Malacca. The most striking species in the genus. 



Genus Laubion, Walker. 

 1. Lattrion coRCTJLiiM, n. sp. Sepia-brown ; primaries crossed by an oblique narrow 

 sulphur-yellow band, beyond which the apical area is almost black. Wings below paler, 

 greyish towards the base ; primaries with the costa as far as the band blue ; secon- 

 daries with four apical marginal steel-blue spots; sides of pectus and anterior coxae 

 blue ; venter banded with white. Expanse of wings 1 inch 1 line. S , Malacca.

 regular, non-lunated, broader, subapical, curved, cream-coloured band of primaries.
