Oandalides neurapacuna, sp. n. (Plate IX. fig. 10.)' 



c^" . Both wings sooty black, with sublustrous blue areas. 

 Primaries with the blue area occupying the cell to the inner 

 margin and a good half of the radial area, the base of veins 2, 3, 

 and 4 thickened, and the white of the under side showing 

 thi-ough slightly along the fold and the basal half of the inter- 

 nervular spaces of veins 2 to 4. Secondaries with the blue area 

 very subdued and sufi"used with fine black irrorations, occtipying 

 the cell and about half the radial area to vein 2. — Under side. 

 Both wings silvery white with pale brown markings. Primaries 

 with a fine dash closing the cell ; a postmedial line of ^-shaped 

 marks interrupted at the veins, a subterminal line of fine inter- 

 nervular dashes, a terminal obscure row of fine points. Second- 

 aries with a basal row of four dots, an antemedial row of three 

 dots above which is a short erect costal dash. Cell closed by a fine 

 dash ; a postmedial row of internervular ^-shaped marks, a sub- 

 terminal row of fine similar marks, a terminal row of dark dots.

Candalides grandissima, nom. nov. (Plate YIII. fig. 15.) 

 Mr. Grose Smith has already described a species of Holochila 

 (Rhop. Exot., Lye, Orient, p. 14, pi. xviii.) under the name grandis ;. 

 therefore my species G. grandis requires a new name as Candalides 

 and Holochila are synonymous. I propose, therefore, the name 

 grandissima. In Meek's collection from the Angabunga River is 

 a series of males and one female, which latter I now describe. 

 Both wings brownish black. Primaries with base blackish, the 

 lower part of the cell, the median part of the fold, and half the 

 radial area from jvist above vein 4 white. Secondaries brown 

 rather than black, with the cell and slightly below it, and half 

 the radial area above vein 4 to 7 white. 



Candalides gloriosa, sp. n. (Plate YIII. fig. 3.) 



<S . Both wings most brilliant metallic lustrous bright cobalt - 

 blue. Primaries with apex broadly black, tapering rapidly to the 

 tornus ; costa black to the costal vein. Secondaries with costa 

 above vein 6 brownish, termen narrowly black. — Under side. 

 Both wings sj^otless silvery white. Secondaries with a trace of 

 obscure black internervular terminal points. 



§ . Both wings dark brown. Primaries with half the cell to 

 the inner margin and half the radial area below vein 4 bright 

 lustrous pale blue, with the white under side showing through 

 in the radial area between veins 2 and 4. Secondaries with a 

 very slight suffusion of blue in the cell and beyond and slightly 

 below it. — Under side. Both wings aniform spotless shining, 

 cream-colour, with black internervular terminal dashes.
