SimisJcina solyma, de Nicev. J. A. S. B. vol. Ixiii. pt. 2, p. 29,

Nbomthbcops zamiora, Butler. 



Mr. de Nic^ville states that " Oupido talmora, Butler" of Druce, 

 P. Z. S. 1873, p. 348, is a synonym of K zalmora (see J. A. S. B. 

 vol. Ixiv. p. 451). The name talmora appears to me to be so clearly 

 a misprint that comment is unnecessary.

CtANIEIS OAMENjE. 



Oijanirls camence, de Nicev. Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. ix. 

 p. 278, pi. 0. fig. 22 ( cT ). 



Kina Balu ( Waterstr.). 



C. camence is very close to C. selma, raihi, but differs in the 

 darker shade of its blue, in the spots on the underside being 

 about equally conspicuous, and in its considerably larger size. 



Cxanieis sonchus, ep. n. (Plate XXIX. fig. 4, d •) 



cJ . Allied to C. cosscea, de Nicev. Upperside blue, of a darker 

 shade, and with the black margins distinctly wider. Fore wing 

 with a black mark partially closing the cell ; hind wing entirely 

 without the white fascia at the apex, and with the costal margin 

 wholly black. Underside creamy white, with the spots arranged 

 as in 0. cosscea, but more prominent, especially those forming the 

 marginal and submarginal series. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



S.E. Borneo (TFa/wes). Type Mus. Stand. 



C sonchus, together with C. cosscea ', de Nicev., and 0. plauta ^, 

 mihi, form a small group in the genus, which can be at once dis- 

 tinguished by the yellowish-white ground-colour of the underside. 



Ctanieis piAUTA, H. H. Druce. 



Dr. Staudinger has received a specimen ( cf ), taken at an altitude 

 of 3000 metres on Kina Balu, in which the white patch on the 

 apex of the hind wing above has almost disappeared, and on the 

 underside the spots are smaller and the ground-colour greyer. 



C. plauta usually has a black spot on the costal margin of the 

 hind wing below, over the spot in cell as in C. cossaa, but this 

 spot is not always present and in the example figured is absent.
