I am unable to say how the true alecto, Feld., differs from this 

 species, not having seen the type, but the specimens now before 

 me from Labuan, referred to that species by Mr. Herbert Druce, 

 are undoubtedly L. elpis. 



Mr. de Niceville (Butl. Ind. etc. vol. iii. p. 165) appears to 

 have wrongly identified L. pseudelpis, Batler, as on examination of 

 the type I find that the transverse strijB are arranged as in true 

 L. elpis, but that the lower portion of No. 1 is slightly out of line 

 and nearer the base ; but there are no other differences, and I quite 

 agree with Mr. Distant that it is a form of L. elpis. On the 

 upperside the type of L. pseudelpis has a faint black linear border 

 only. 



Lampides limes, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 16 S •) 



S . Upperside rich shining pale blue, much like L. siddas, Feld., 

 but with the white bands of the underside showing more distinctly 

 through than in that species ; outer margins very narrowly black 

 as in L. suidas. Underside : ground-colour rather dark grey, with 

 white bands arranged much as in L. elpis — fore wing, the 1st 

 and 2nd with white spots over them close to the costal margin ; 

 the 3rd and 4th much broken, both with their upper segments out 

 of line and placed about halfway between the 2nd and 3rd and 

 3rd and 4th bands respectively ; the 4th with two white spots 

 above it close to the costal margin, one each side. Marginal and 

 submarginal bands as in L. elj'iis. Hind wing with white bands 

 arranged as in L. elpis, but more broken into segments. 



Expanse ly^- inch. Type Mus. Stand.

L. limes is a much richer colour on the upperside than L. elpis, 

 and is, I believe, the only species of this group in which the 1st 

 and 2nd bands of the fore wing are continued to the costal margin 

 by separated white spots, 



Lampides viegulatus, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 17 d •) 



cJ . Upperside much like L. philntios, Snell., having the dull 

 appearance of that species, but bluer. Underside rather darker 

 grey than in L. limes, with distinct, narrow, and comparatively 

 straight white bands : the 1st and 2nd are parallel, and have 

 two small spots between them close to the costal margin ; the 3rd 

 is very short, and extends from the costal margin to the upper 

 discoidal ; the 4th extends to the 2nd median nervule, and has a 

 small spot each side of it close to the costa ; the 4th is short and 

 extends from the upper discoidal to the 3rd median nervule. 

 The remaining bands are placed as in L. elpis. Hind wing as in 

 L. elpis, but the white bauds are all straighter. 



Expanse ly^g- inch. 



S.E. Borneo, near Banjarmasin (Wahnes). Type Mus. Staud. 



Although this species is much like L. philatus on the upperside, 

 it is totally different on the undsrside. It appears to be distinct, 

 and I hope can be recognized from the description given above.
