640 MR. n. DRUCE ON THE GENUS PAPHIA. [JuUC 19, 



39. Paphia florita, n. sp. (Plate LXI. fig. 4.) 



Upperside brownisli blue, brightest at the base of all the wings ; 

 anterior wing, the apical half blackish with two small blue spots near 

 the costal margin. Underside pale brown irrorated with brown and 

 white scales ; anterior wing crossed from the apex to the middle of 

 the inner margin by an ill-defined white line ; posterior wing darkest 

 from the base to beyond the middle, with a submarginal row of six 

 indistinct white spots. 



Exp. 1| inch.

This species is close to P. morvus, but much smaller. It may be 

 the Peruvian form of that species.

A well-marked species allied to P. xenocles, but varies to some ex- 

 tent in colour, some specimens being more blue than others, also iu 

 the size of the spots near the anal angle of the anterior wing. The 

 female is quite a different-looking insect, and has not been described. 

 The upperside is dark brown with the base of all the wings violet- 

 blue ; the anterior wing has four white spots, the first beyond the 

 middle on the costal margin, the second and third (which is minute) 

 near the apex, and one below near the middle ; posterior wing with 

 a submarginal row of six or seven white spots, black on their outer 

 margin. Underside, like the male, but much paler in colour.

 This species is still rare, and appears to be intermediate between 

 P. xenocles and glauce.
