606 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON LEPIDOPTERA FROM [May 3, 



belong to the large type taken in September ; the two others are 

 very like L. contracta, are altogether bluer above than L. cnejus, 

 and have the discal row of white-zoned black spots on the primaries 

 below interrupted. 



16. Catochrysops contracta? 



Lampides contracta, Butler, P, Z. S. 1880, p. 406, pi. 39. fig. 3. 

 Two specimens (as L. cnejus). Kurrachee, June 1879. 



17. Catochrysops ella, sp. n. (No. 6). 



Allied to C. cnejus, but with the coloration of the wings below 

 more like C. jjandava. "Wings above lilac, greenish at the base, the 

 male with a broad dark brown border twice as wide at apex as to- 

 wards the external angle ; the female with a blackish marginal line 

 and indistinct ocelloid submarginal spots : secondaries with a black 

 marginal line and a submarginal" series of six ocelloid spots, less 

 distinct in the male than in the female, the first indistinct in both 

 sexes, the three following brown with white borders, the fifth large, 

 black, with the border white externally and orange internally, anal 

 spot bifid, black with white border ; fringe white, tail black tipped 

 with white. "Wings below brownish grey, with the spots arranged as 

 in C. cnejus, but broader, less prominent ; the submarginal spots 

 relieved internally by a rather broad brown border, beyond which 

 is a diffused discal white streak or band ; the black ocelli towards 

 the anal angle vary in intensity, and sometimes are almost wholly 

 lost, as in the male before me. Expanse of wings, d 10 lines, $ 

 1 inch.
