NEW INDO-MALAYAN BUTTERFLIES. 325 



evidently allied to E. godfcryi, Distant, Rhop. Malay., p. 423, n. 10, 

 pi. xxxix, fig. b, female (1886), and, but for tlie facttliat Mr. Distant 

 says lie possesses males of the latter species from North Borneo, and 

 describes them as being very similar to the female, while B. emcoides 

 s markedly different both in coloration and markings, I should have 

 come to the conclusion that E. yodferyi was the female and D. csacoide^ 

 the male of one and the same species. 



Described from a single specimen collected in Perak by Mr. J. 



Wray, Jr., and kindly presented to me by him. Dr. L. Martin, of 



Deli, Sumatra, has sent me a coloured drawing of two specimens 



of this species taken by him in that island in the Battak mountains, 



which appears to agree absolutely with the type.

 3. DISCOPHORA DIS, n. sp., PI. H, Fig. 3, $ . 

 Habitat : Deli, N.-E. Sumatra, Borneo. 

 Expanse ; ^ , 3-9 ; $ , 4*2 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wimjs rich dark indigo- 

 blue, somewhat paler towards the margins, tinted with ferruginous 

 at the base. Forewing with a curved discal macular band, consisting 

 of five shining light blue spots, the uppermost in the upper discoidal 

 interspace squarish and whitish ; the spot posterior to this occupy- 

 ing the whole breadth of the interspace ; the two following highly 

 lunulated ; the posterior spot of all incomplete, consisting of the 

 anterior half of a lunule only ; beyond the discal is. a submarginal 

 series of four spots, the uppermost in the lower discoidal interspace 

 rounded, the three following lunular. Hindwing with the costa 

 broadly pale, the usual discal velvety black spot. Underside, 

 both wings precisely as in D. celinde, StoU, but the ground-colour 

 of a darker and richer shade. Female. Almost precisely similar 

 to the same sex of D. celinde, but the inner edge of the broad 

 discal ochreous band a little nearer the disco-cellular nervules on 

 the UPPERSIDE of the forewing; no ochreous discal spots posterior 

 to this band ; the hindiving darker than in D. celinde, lacking all 

 markings. Underside, both wings with the ground-colour darker 

 than in D. celinde. 



As far as I can discover, no species of Discophora has been described 

 as endemic to Sumatra, but Herr Georg Semper incidentally
