not nearly reaching the outer margin except at the apex of the wing, 

 the marginal dots barely present, with other slight but well-marked 

 differences on the underside. 



Described from numerous male and one female specimen in my 

 collection from the Battak Mountains taken in September and Decem- 

 ber. It is a fairly common species, and Dr. L. Martin possesses many 

 examples of it. 



11. CYANIRIS CARNA, n. sp., PL 0, Fig. 18, £. 

 Habitat : JST.-E. Sumatra. 

 Expanse : <3\1'3 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings shining bright blue 

 of a slightly violet tint in some lights. Forewing with the costa very 

 narrowly, the apex broadly, the outer margin dwindling away to 

 nothing at the inner angle, black ; a large white discal patch beyond 

 the discoidal cell filling the basal halves of the two median and 

 lower discoidal interspaces exactly as in C. albidisca, Moore. 

 Hindwing with the costa rather broadly fuscous, the apical half 

 of the wing fining away to nothing about the first median nervule 

 white, the rest of the wing blue ; a series of six round fuscous 

 spots on the margin, inwardly with a series of indistinct blackish ffi 

 lunules ; a fine black anteciliary thread. Underside, both wings • 

 white, all the markings pale fuscous or brownish, none prominent ; 

 the usual marginal series of lunules enclosing black spots beyond. 

 Forewing with the costa and apex widely infuscated ; the disco- 

 cellular nervules defined with a dark mark ; an irregular discal series 

 of four spots. Hindwing with the usual basal, discoidal, and discal 

 spots. 



Nearest to C. albidisca, Moore, from South India, differing in the 

 broader black apex to the forewing on the upperside, the larger white 

 area on the hindwing, and the infuscation of the costa and apex of the 

 forewing on the underside. 



Described from a single example in my collection from N.-E. 



Sumatra.
