circular over the orange patch, which is rather less extensive. 

 The spot on the lobe, which in P. ani/sis is completely black, is 

 faintly crowned with orange. The shape of the hind wing is 

 entirely different, it being less produced at the costal and anal 

 extremities and the outer margin much more rounded. Tuft ol' 

 hairs on inner margin of fore wing dark brown.

Allied to P. deva, Moore. 



cJ . Upperside very pale shining blue, palest on the disc of the 

 fore wing : apical half and outer margin of fore wing and costal 

 margin and apex of hind wing dark greyish broAMi ; an outer- 

 marginal row of more or less distinct dark brown spots on the 

 hind wing, and a black anteciliary line ; the shining patch is 

 large and prominent, spreading all over the cell, and centred by a 

 deep black patch of differently placed scales resting on the sub- 

 costal nervure ; an orange spot in the lobe ; anal fold greyish 

 white. Underside differs from P. deva by being of a more pinkish 

 tinge, with the linear band which crosses both wings more distinct, 

 less broken, and placed closer to the outer margins ; the orange 

 patch surrounding the upper black spot on the margin much more 

 extensive. The tuft of hairs on inner margin of fore wing jet- 

 black. Abdomen and thorax blue above, whitish below. 



2 . Upperside pale lavender-blue, paler on the discs of the 

 fore wing, more extensive than in the male ; apex and outer 

 margin of fore \\ing and apex of hind wing greyish brov^n ; a 

 distinct black streak almost closing the cell of the fore wing, and 

 an outer-marginal row of black spots on the hind \nng. Under- 

 side as male, with a faint mark closing the cell of the fore wing, 

 caused by the black mark on the upperside.

P. devana is by far the palest coloured species in the genus, 

 being paler than the female P. cotys. Hew. It is a very distinct 

 species, and the black mark closing the cell of the fore wing in 

 the female is quite unusual. 



1 Mr. H. J. Elwes has lately remarked (P. Z. S. 1892, p. 637) that the 

 tuft of hairs on the margin below is absent in C. cotys, whilst Mr. de Niceville 

 (Butt. Ind. etc. vol. iii. p. 343) states that the tuft of hairs in C. anysis is 

 black instead of dark brown in C. cotys. Specimens of C. cotys that I have 

 examined from Darjeeling certainly have the usual tuft, while in a specimen 

 of C. anysis from the Philippines in Messrs, Godman and Salvins collection the 

 tuft is dark brown as in C. cotys.
