Major Yerbury obtained three male specimens of this lovely little 

 novelty. 



27. Hypolyc^na umbrosa, sp. n. (Plate XLVII. fig. 6.) 



Nearest to H. ccecuIus ; primaries above smoky grey-brown, with 

 a large patch of lavender occupying the basi-internal half ; secon- 

 daries lavender, costal border and a patch at apex smoky grey-brown ; 

 submarginal blackish spots and metallic green anal spots as in the 

 female of H. cceculus. Under surface white clouded with pearl-grey : 

 primaries with an orange brownish transverse dash at the end of the 

 cell ; a narrow bent dark grey band shot with bright cupreous be- 

 yond the cell from costa almost to the submedian vein ; a submar- 

 ginal dark grey stripe tapering from submedian vein almost to the 

 costa, and trisinuate at its anterior extremity ; fringe white, spotted 

 with dark grey : secondaries with a bisinuate subbasal grey band 

 brilliantly shot with cupreous orange, a darker oblique dash at the 

 end of the cell, and a zigzag stripe from costa to abdominal margin 

 beyond the cell ; a submarginal dark grey stripe tapering from costa 

 to abdominal margin, where it unites with a marginal line which ex- 

 tends almost from the base along this margin ; a rounded black spot 

 near the extremity of the first median interspace, and a second upon 

 a metallic green streak at anal angle ; a slender black marginal line 

 extending into the tails ; fringe white. Expanse of wings 32 millim. 



One specimen only was obtained. — Thrupp. 



28. lOLAUS GLAUCUS, sp. n. 



Nearest to I. belli : primaries above blackish with a large interno- 

 basal patch of bright violet, occupying about half the wing ; secon- 

 daries blackish grey, slightly paler towards the abdominal border, 

 which is almost entirely white ; centre of wing densely irrorated with 

 bright violet ; a submarginal series of spots, black internally but 

 lilacine whitish externally ; a black anal spot bordered internally 

 with bright metallic emerald-green and yellow, and probably a 

 similar spot between the tails ^; fringe white; a velvety-black patch 

 of thickened scales at base of subcostal branches : wings below 

 chalky-white, with two strongly marked jet-black stripes (the inner 

 one interrupted by the veins on the primaries), and the margin black; 

 the stripes formed as in I. belli ; the black, green, and yellow anal 

 spot larger than above ; a little marginal dash of the same colours 

 above the lobe. Expanse of wings 31 millim. 



Duderi, 26th April, l8S4.—Terbunj. 



From any less interesting locality I should hesitate to make a type 

 of a specimen with the secondaries damaged ; it is, however, a very 

 distinct species, and there can be little doubt as to the pattern upon 

 the missing parts. 



' The secondaries unfortunately have a jjiece broken out of them on both 

 sides, but some metallic green scales are visible at the edge of ■'he broken part 

 ou one side, showing that, at any rate, a green spot, if not a black one, exists.
