Forewing with the costa up to the subcostal nervure, the apex some- 

 what broadly, the outer margin deereasingly black. Cilia black. 

 Hindwing with the costa and apex black; a fine white and then a 

 fine black anteciliary thread, both prominent at the anal angle, 

 obsolete before reaching the apex of the wing ; three round equal- 

 sized black spots at the anal angle ; the two innermost ones with a 

 patch of pure white anterior to them ; abdominal margin dusky ; 

 tails short, the outer one rather the longer, white centred with black. 

 Cilia white. Undekside, both ivings bluish-white ; the disc crossed by 

 a narrow ochreous band, straight in the forewing from the second sub- 

 costal to the first median nervule, then slightly deflected towards the 

 base of the wing and ending on the submedian nervure ; on the hindwing 

 the band is straight from the costa to the third median nervule, the 

 portion from the third to the first median nervule is also straight, but 

 is shifted inwardly towards the base of the wing, then there is a 

 perfect V-shaped portion in the submedian interspace ; lastly there 

 are two parallel portions extending obliquely forwards from the 

 internal nervure to the abdominal margin. Forewing with the apex 

 broadly, the outer margin deereasingly, brownish-ochreous. Cilia 

 black. Hindwing with a highly irregular macular black band 

 beyond the discal ochreous band ; a marginal series of six rounded 

 black spots, the anal one large, the one in the first median interspace 

 still larger, the four remaining spots small, the fourth from the anal 

 angle the smallest of all ; a fine anteciliary black thread. Cilia white. 

 Thorax and abdomen above blue, beneath white. Antennae black, the 

 shaft narrowly annulated with white. 



Nearest to Chliaria merguia, Doherty,* from Mergui, of which I 

 possess a specimen from the Mibbu Pass, Tenasserim, Burma, cap- 

 tured by Colonel C. T. Bingham in January, and another from the Katha 

 district of Upper Burma ; Mr. H. J. Elwes records it from Perak ; 

 and I have both sexes from Bekantschan taken in March and the 

 Battak Mountains taken in March and December — both in North-East 

 Sumatra. C. amabilis differs from that species in being a little smaller, 

 the apex of the forewing is less acute, the coloration of the upperside
