Hypoltc^na skapane, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. figs. 16 d' , 17 $ .) 



c? . Upperside dull brownish piu-ple ; apex of fore wing and 

 costal margin of hind wing rather broadly brown ; outer margin 

 of fore wing narrowly brown. Anal fold greyish brown ; a black 

 spot on the lobe outwardly bordered with \\hite. Cilia brown 

 except in anal region, where it is white. Tails black, bordered 

 with white. Underside pearly grey, coloured and marked much 

 like Z. etolus. Fab., but without the black spot on the costal 

 margin of the hind wiug and with the band of the fore wing 

 straighter, narrower, and more distinctly outer-edged with whitish, 

 whilst on the hind wing the band, which in Z. etolus becomes 

 linear and black towards the anal margin, is in this species yellow, 

 of about equal width, and narrowly edged on both sides with 

 black. The large black spot on the outer margin of hind wing 

 between the first and second median nervules is bordered with 

 orange on its inner and lower edges. 



$ . Upperside uniform blackish ; anal angular area rather 

 broadly white, containing a series of four marginal black spots, 

 alternately large and small, the first, in the lobe, being large. 

 Underside as male, but brighter. 



A tuft of the cilia in both sexes is considerably elongated at 

 the extreme anal angle, thus giving the insect the appearance of 

 having a third, but very short tail.

I have compared this species to Z. etolus on the underside, but 

 it is perhaps more like H. thecloides on that surface, but very 

 different above. It is much smaller than the average H. erylus. 

 It is also not unlike the Chliaria vierguia as figured by Mr. Doherty ', 

 but on the upperside the blue is much darker and not distinctly 

 defined in the fore wing, and on the underside the band of the 

 fore wing is straighter and the black spot between the median 

 nervules is larger and also edged with orange ; this is not shown 

 in Mr. Doherty's figure, although he describes it as being present. 



Htpolto^na phemis, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 18 c? •) 



cJ . Upperside rather dull slaty blue, but in some lights rich 

 light pm'ple-blue, much the colour of the darker blue on Chliaria 

 kina, Hew., darkest in the fore wing. Costal apex and outer 

 margin of fore wing and costal margin of hind wing blackish. 

 Anal fold greyish white. A black spot in the lobe and two 

 indistinctly defined marginal spots above it. Tails black with 

 white borders ; cilia as usual. Underside differs from Z. etolus, 

 Pabr., only by the yellow apices being less extensive and much 

 browner, by the black spot on the costa of the hind wing being 

 replaced by a minute yellowish spot, by the double markings closing 

 the cells being very inconspicuous, and by the band on the hind 

 wing continuing wide where it is angled and broken towards the
