Kiua Ball! (Watersfr.). Type Mus. Stand. 



Can this be a seasonal form oP C. dilectissima ? On the under- 

 side they are almost identical, but on the upperside the hind wings 

 are strikingly different. 



Cyanieis plauta, sp. n. (Plate XXXIT. figs. 8 J ; 9 ? •) 



Ltjcana plauta, Stand. MS. 



(S . Upperside deep lavender-blue, colour o£ C placida, with 

 black costa, apex, and outer margin much as in Lyarnopsis haraklus, 

 Fab. (to which it bears a general resemblance, without possessing 

 the beautiful opalescent shading of that species), but the blue area 

 more extensive : hind wing deepl aveuder-blue, outer margin 

 very narrowly black, with a marginal row of elongate black spots ; 

 costal margin broadly black to near its apex, where it becomes 

 white, a large white patch below this occupying nearly the whole 

 of the subcostal interspace except the black outer margin : anal 

 fold whitish. Underside : ground-colour white tinged with pale 

 yellow as in L. haraklus, with black spots arranged much as in 

 0. pZcfciHft, large and distinct ; the black spot on the middle of 

 the costa of hind wing is unusually large and conspicuous. 



2 • Upperside resembling C. albidisca, Moore, 2 , but without 

 the black streak closing the cell of the fore wing, and with the 

 whole of the white area of the fore wing as well as the abdominal 

 half of the hind wing shot with beautiful opalescent blue ; the 

 black marginal spots on hind wing become more sepai'ated and 

 distinct towards the anal angle. Underside as male. 



Expanse, d If, ? ^f-lfV i"ch. 



Kina Balu (Waterstr. and Everett); Labuan (Lotv). Mus. Staud. 

 and Druce. 



Some females from Kina Balu are not so strongly marked on 

 the underside as others, whilst a female from Labuan in Messrs. 

 Godman and Salvin's collection has the outer margin of hind wing 

 above broadly black-bordered. It seems a distinct species, and the 

 Yellowish tinge of the underside may perhaps serve to link it with 

 ithe species which I have placed in the next genus. 



Ctanibis eipte, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 11 J •) 



d . Upperside bright shining violaceous blue, with a pinkish 

 tinge and black margins about equal to those of C. placida. Under- 

 side pale brown, slightly paler only than the ground-colour of 

 Jamides bochas, Cr., $ , with sordid-white-edged spots and mark- 

 ings, which are rather darker brown than the ground-colour, 

 arranged as in 0. puspa, with the addition of a double spot in the 

 centre of the cell of the fore wing. The black spot just beyond 

 the middle of the costal margin on the hind wing is large and 

 prominent. 



Expanse 1-li inch. 



Labuan {Low). Type Mus. G. & S. 



G. ripte differs from all others in the shade of blue on the 

 upperside, and is, I believe, the only Cyaniris known which has a
