Elina Balu ( Watersir.). 



Dr. Staudinger has sent uie a male which differs from the typical 

 form only by the disc of the fore wing below the white spot 

 being slightly greyish.

M. mahiya is also recorded from Borneo by ^Ir. de Niceville, 

 who states that it is the tailed form which occurs there (Butt. 

 Ind. iii. pp. 61, 62). 



Cyaxibis, Dalman. 



I have no less than eight species of this genus to deal with, and 

 after carefully examining all the described species, 1 am only able 

 to recognize one as identical with one of these forms, viz. C. Iambi, 

 Distant, and am compelled with some reluctance to propose names 

 for the remainder, notwithstanding Dr. Holland's remarks about 

 them in the Proc. Boston ISoc. Xat. llist. 1S90, p. 70. 



Cyaniris dilectissima, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. figs. 2 cf , 3 $ .) 



Lyccena dilectissima, Stand. MS. 



(S . Upperside allied to C. albocceruleus, Moore, but darker and 

 greyer blue ; the fore wing with the outer margin and apex 

 narrowly black (about as in C. aryiolus, Linn.), and with only a 

 few whitish scales on the costa and on the disc : hind wing pure 

 white, dusted with blue (thickly) at the base, along the outer 

 margin, inside the black antecihary line, and along the nervules ; 

 cilia pure white. Underside with spots and markings as in 

 C. albocceruJeus, but larger, blacker and more distinct, and with 

 distinct black linear marks closing the cells of both wings : fore 

 wing with a marginal row of black spots ; hind wing with a similar 

 row larger and blacker. 



$ . Upperside differs from that sex of C. albocceruhus by the 

 black outer marginal border of fore wing being broader and less 

 clearly defined, and by the costal margin of hind wing being 

 broadly (to the subcostal nervure) greyish black from base to apex.
