SuASA, de Niccv. 



SuASA LiEis, Staud. 



Suasa suessa, de Mceville ', described from the Malay Peninsula, 

 appears to be a close ally of this species, if, indeed, it is distinct, 

 but unfortunately I do not possess specimens for examination. 



Chliaeia, Moore. 



Chltaeia skapane, H. H. Druce. 



I put this insect at first in the genus Hypohjcmna, but on 

 further examination I think it is better placed in Chliaria. 



Chliaeia phemis, H. H. Druce. 



I find that this species again is better placed in the genus 

 Chliaria than in Hypolyecena. It is close to G. amahilis, de Nicev., 

 but the blacli; spots at the anal angle of the bind wing below are 

 differently placed. 



gi'cyisli at outer onple : hind wing — costal margin narrowly greyish from the 

 base to tbe apex, wliich is narrowly black ; a blaclt anteoiliary line ; cilia white. 

 The tail on the lower median nervitle, linear, black, and tipped with white, 

 that on the siibmedian nerrure about twice as long, black, edged and tipped 

 with white ; the lobe dark red, with a black anteciliary line and a small black 

 spot dusted with blue scales. Underside pale grey : fore wing with a broad, 

 even, straight brown band commencing on the 2nd subcostal nerviire, rather 

 less than halfway between the end of the cell and tbe apex, and running 

 obliquely to the lower median nervule, where it becomes somewhat attenuated 

 and reaches the submedian nervure ; a submarginal indistinct line darker 

 towards tlie outer angle, the ground-colour being rather darker between this 

 line and the margin ; cilia brown : hind wing with similar bands as described 

 above, the darker one being bi-okeu up and angled at the lower median nervure, 

 and running disjointedlj to the anal margin ; a black spot between the lower 

 median nervules faintly crowned with orange ; lobe deep black, bearing towards 

 the submedian nervure a large crescent of bright blue scales ; there are also a 

 few blue scales in the submedian interspace close to the lobe ; cilia greyish, 

 white towards the anal angle. Head, thorax, and abdomen blaokish alrave 

 clothed with greyish-blue hairs ; beneath concolorous with wings ; legs grey, 

 with black spots ; antennae black, with reddish-brown tips and white spots. 



cJ. Ujjperside violaceous blue, of almost the same shade as Cyaniris puspa, 

 Horsf., cJ '■ fore wing — apex, outer and costal margins black as in male, and with 

 a white spot on the disc beyond the cell, clearest towards the upper median 

 nervule: hind wing — costal margin whitish, grey along the subcostal nervule ; 

 outer margin narrowly black, breaking up into spots in the median and sub- 

 median interspaces; a large white apical spot, clearest towards the costal 

 margin. Tails and lobe as in male ; cilia of both wings white ; the dark bands 

 of the underside can be seen through on the upper. Underside differs only 

 from the male in tbe groundcolour being white ; the cilia of both wings are 

 white except towards apex of fore wing, whicli is brown. There is also a brown 

 anteciliary line to tbe fore wing, and also to the hind wing, which becomes 

 stronger towards the anal angle.

Gede, W. Java {Prelw). Types Mua. Staud. 



This lovely insect is allied to Tajuria dicens, Hew., but is quite distinct.
