482 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW SPECIES [June 13, 
enclosing a small triangular glaucous patch, its base resting on the 
anterior margin ; an irregular oblique line crossing the middle of the 
wing ; apical portion of the wing and outer margin brown, enclosing 
two grey ocelli, and interrupted by three longitudinal paler brown 
lines, the two inner ones varied with white; three blue-grey lunules 
near the anal angle and parallel to the outer margin, bordered by a 
black band on their inner edge, the upper one, between the second 
and third median nervules, larger than the other two, and having an 
oval black spot on its outer edge, which gives it the appearance of 
an ocellus; the two lower ones bordered on their outer edge by a 
broad bright ochreous dash, widening below and extending to the 
anal angle, enclosing two minute transverse white spots. Posterior 
wings white, with faint roseate reflection; hind margin deeply sinu- 
ated, with two caudal projections, the one at the extremity of the 
first nervule acute, slightly inclining inwards, elongate, the other, at 
the anal angle, obtuse, nearly quadrate ; interior margin slightly 
emarginate ; a narrow oblique line crossing the middle of the cell, 
and terminating just below it ; two converging narrow oblique lines 
apparently closing the cell, and disappearing in an ochreous patch at 
the anal angle; a broad ocellated band crossing the wing at two- 
thirds of the distance from the base, following the direction of the 
outer margin, its inner edge deep brown, intersected by a blue-grey 
line which runs into the outer edge at the median nervules, forming 
the lower portion of the brown into ovate spots, its outer edge pale 
brown, enclosing small white spots between the nervules ; outer 
margin deep brown, intersected in the middle by a pale line, brown 
to beyond the tail, where it becomes violaceous; anal angle, inner 
margin, and a broad, irregular, elongate fascia above the outer 
margin suffused with bright ochreous ; the patch changes to deep 
brown near the apex; the anal caudate projection ferruginous, en- 
closing, with the anal ochreous suffusion, three irregular roseate 
markings. 
Underside. Front wings white, with faint roseate reflection, bright 
ochreous at the anal angle; the markings the same as above, except 
that they are all brown, and the narrow trigonate basal patch is 
wanting. Posterior wings as above; but the ocellated band more 
distinctly separated into ocelli. 
Hab. Mysol. 
The allies of this species are Cyrestis menalis, Erichs. (Philippine 
Islands), and Cyrestis nivea, Zinck (Java, Borneo, &c.). 
3. CYRESTIS SERICEUS. 
Upperside. Front wings white, with roseate reflection ; six oblique, 
irregular, double ochreous lines, extending to the middle of the wing 
at nearly equal distances from each other, crossing from the anterior 
margin to the median nervure, the third and fifth enclosing a fine 
central line; the fifth one deeper-coloured; three paler ochreous 
irregular, oblique, double lines at regular distances below the cell, the 
outer one extending as far as the fifth supramedian double line; an 
ablique pale ochreous band crossing the wing at two-thirds of the
