Mr. de Niceville has examined Felder's type, and states tbat 

 N. viola, Moore, is a synonym of this species.

Dr. Staudinger has received the tailless form of N. ardates, 

 Moore, which according to Mr. de Niceville (he having seen the 

 type of L. noreia at Vienna) equals that species. 



Naoabuba altjta, Druce. 



I think it is most probable that the species N.nancla described by 

 Mr. de Niceville in Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. x. p. 34, pi. S. 

 fig. 23 (1895), is the same as N. aluta. N. alnta has the prominent 

 white anteciliary thread in the three anal interspaces as described 

 by Mr. de Niceville, but on the underside of the fore wing the 

 anteciliary line only is straight, the other two lines being lunulated, 

 both much to the same extent, the spaces between the lines being 

 darker, as described in N. nanda '.

cj . Upperside pale shining silvery blue, appearing of a greenish 

 shade in some lights. Fore wing : costal margin very narrowly, 

 apex and outer margin broadly, dull black. Hind wing dull 

 black, with the blue colour extending just over and around the 

 cell only ; inner margin paler ; a marginal row of irdistinct black 

 lunules edged with sordid white, the one between the lower 

 median nervules being large and distinct, followed by a black ante- 

 ciliary line. Tail black, tipped with white. Cilia of fore wing 

 dull black, of^hind wing sordid white, black at the extremities of 

 the nervules. Underside pale greyish bro\^'n, with white lines 

 arranged exactly as in L. eljns, Godt., but in the hind wing rather 

 straighter. Thorax and abdomen above and below concolorous 

 with wings. Antenna) black, spotted with white. 



Expanse 1| inches.

On the upperside this butterfly appears to be allied to L. mara- 



' Mr. de Nic^Tille states, in the list of Suiiintran Butterflies, that he thinks 

 N. periisia, Felder, is probably a synonym of J\^ atrata, Horsf. This is not 

 so. We possess specimens from Imboyna which I have compared with the 

 type in the Felder collection. On the upperside N. perusia is much like 

 N. atrata, but on the underside is quite different, the white lines, excepting 

 those at the bases, are further apart, and have the ground-spaces between them 

 white, bordered on each side by a brown line.
