Cyrestis Earli, n. sp. 



J. Wings above creamy white, with the basal third of 

 both wings slightly and palely infuscated, with two narrow 

 oblique brownish fasciae : — the first commencing on median 

 nervure and at about centre of cell of anterior wing, and ex- 

 tending to about centre of submedian nervure, down which it 

 is continued to near anal angle ; the second commencing on 

 anterior wing at base of second median nervule, and extending 

 to near apex of the third median nervule of posterior wings, 

 whence it is strongly sinuated and angulated to submedian ner- 

 vure. Cell of anterior wings with four transverse brownish 

 fasciae, the fourth at end of cell having a central brownish 

 line ; a similarly formed fascia closing cell of posterior wings ; 

 an irregular brownish patch beyond cell of anterior wings ; 

 at about one third from apex a narrow brownish fascia crosses 

 both wings. The apex of anterior wings is broadly infuscated'; 

 and a submarginal series of obscure spots (absent at centre of 

 anterior wings) outwardly margined by a narrow brown fascia 

 crosses both wings ; a marginal blackish line ; the extreme 

 margin brownish, with creamy white fringe j an ochraceous 

 patch at anal angle of posterior wings, on which are two 

 bluish spots marked with black ; caudate appendages bluish. 

 "Wings beneath much paler than above ; markings generally 

 similar, but spots darker, with a large black spot at anal angle 

 of posterior wings, and the spots between the subcostal ner- 

 vules of posterior wings and between the second and third 

 median nervules of anterior wings very prominent and black.

This species appears to be intermediate between C. sericeus } 

 Butl., and C. paulinus^ Feld. It will be figured in my 

 1 Rhopalocera Malayana.'
