MYKINA. 39 



me by Dr. Boisduval to figure. It has unfortunately lost the anal tail on both sides, so that I 

 cannot vouch for the accuracy of my figure. It seems most nearly to resemble M. Marciana. 



41. Myrina Donina, Hewitson. Plate XVII. ? figs. 61, 62. 



Upperside. Female. — Dark brown, paler towards the base of both wings. Posterior wing 

 crossed beyond the middle by two bands of white spots : the fringe rufous white. 



Underside glossy white. Both wings crossed beyond the middle by two indistinct pale 

 rufous bands : a small black spot at an unusual distance from the base of the tail : the outer 

 margin rufous. 



Exp. 1-Sjj inch.

This is a species of peculiar interest, and unlike anything we have yet seen. I place it here 

 with some doubt. In its form and the colouring of the underside it resembles Anops. 



42. Myrina Ceres. Plate XVII. 6 fig. 63. 



Theola Ceres, Boisduval, MS. 



Upperside. Male. — Lilac-blue. Anterior wing with the apex and outer margin broadly 

 dark brown. Posterior wing with the apex rufous brown : two slender tails : a small black 

 spot at the base of the outer tail : the apical spot gold and carmine bordered below with pale 

 blue, on the left side with black. 



Underside. Grey-white, clouded near the base of both wings with pale rufous brown : 

 both with a linear band at the end of the cell. Anterior wing with a lunular spot within the 

 cell, a linear zigzag band a little beyond the middle (bordered inwardly with rufous brown,) a 

 submarginal indistinct linear band, and the outer margin all carmine. Posterior wing crossed 

 near the base by a curved broken band of five lunular spots, and at the middle by a very 

 angidar, linear, broken band, all carmine : a submarginal band indistinct and carmine from the 

 costal margin to the middle, black above the anal spots : the spots black bordered above with 

 orange, below with pale blue : the outer margin carmine : the apex pale rufous brown. 



Exp. l^j- inch.

I can find no place for this species which seems to me so appropriate as that in which it is 

 placed. It is without the third branch of the subcostal nervure of Iolaus, but has the tuft of 

 hair between the wings which separates it from Hypolyccena. It has, however, very little 

 likeness to any species of Myrina, except in the prolonged form of the posterior wing, in which 

 it resembles M. Hijpoleuca.
