 Underside as male, but inner margin of fore wing not so distinctly 

 white and the linear band of fore wing more prominent.

This is a fine and, I believe, quite distinct species, which should 

 be easily i-ecognized. 



Tajueia tfssis, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. %s. 8 c? , 9 ? .) 



S . Pale blue, much the colour of T. iscms, Hew. Diffei-ing 

 from that species by the apical half of the fore wing being black, 

 the black apex extending from just beyond the cell to the outer 

 angle. The underside differs from T. isceus by the common linear 

 band being placed nearer to the margins, by having a pale orange 

 streak at the base of the costa on the fore wing, and by the orange 

 at the anal angle being darker. 



$ . Upperside dull violaceous blue, more extensive in the fore 

 wing than in male ; hind \^ing with the nervules brown and with 

 a marginal row of ill-defined brown spots. Underside as male, but 

 the costal streak but slightly ochreous and barely discernible, 

 whilst the linear bands appear to be further in.

The types of this species are the only specimens I have seen 

 and belong to Dr. Staudinger. I do not feel quite certain that the 

 female here described belongs to the male, as the linear band is 

 placed somewhat further in — it is not, however, anything like so 

 far in as in T. isceus.

Hewitson is my only authority for including this species. 



Mr. H. J. Elwes has lately pointed out^ that T. relata, Distant, 

 is conspecific with T. isceus, and after an examination of the type 

 cf kindly sent me by Dr. Staudinger, I am able to confirm this 

 statement — it is identical with Hewitson's species. 



Tajttbia cato, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. figs. 13 c? , 14 $ .) 



(J . Upperside bright blue, brighter and darker than in T. mantra 

 and somewhat differently placed — in the fore wing there being 

 less in the cell and more in the first median interspace, and in the 

 hind wing more extensive ; apex and outer margin black, with a 

 large inconspicuous black patch of differently placed scales 

 occupying more than the upper half of the cell in the fore wing. 

 .Anal fold dark greyish ; lobe with a black spot dusted with a few 

 metallic scales, but no orange. Tails black, tipped with white, the 

 lower with bluish cilia. Underside rich dark reddish brown, with
