1908.] SPECIES OF KHOPALOCEEAN BUTTERFLIES. 125 



over half of the radial area up to vein 5, extending just into 

 the lower part of the end of the cell and to just beyond the 

 angle of vein 2 to the inner margin ; a brilliant metallic pale blue 

 costal stripe for about half the costa. Secondaries deep black, 

 with a pure white stripe as on the upper side ; base up to this 

 black, with a brilliant metallic pale blue curved costal stripe ; the 

 terminal three-fifths black, with a terminal row of large brilliant 

 metallic pale blue oblong spots tapering smaller to the apex, with 

 large deep black similar-shaped pupils tapering in like manner ; 

 no white terminal fine line. 



Expanse 44 mm.

Waigeum dinawa, sp. n. (Plate IX. fig. 2.) 



S . Both wings brown, with white submedian patches and 

 metallic-blue dusting. Primaries with the white area restricted 

 to a fair-sized somewhat oblique patch at a quarter from the base 

 of the inner margin, occupying the middle area of the wing up to 

 about vein 4, not extending into the cell and for about half the 

 radial area, surrounded very broadly by brown except at the 

 centre of the inner margin ; this brown ground-colour is super- 

 imposed broadly around the white with brilliant metallic-blue 

 fine irrorations. Secondaries with brown base extremely restiicted 

 and covei'ed with similar brilliant blue fine dusting as in the 

 primaries, a broad oblique white band ; the outer half of the 

 wing brown, with brilliant blue dusting in a triangular patch 

 from the base of vein 2 to about vein 4 and halfway to the 

 termen. — Under side. Primaries black, with the white area 

 more extended than above, reaching the base below the cell, and 

 invading the broad blackish terminal area along veins 2, 3, and 

 4, so as to strongly scallop it ; costa Avith a broad band of brilliant 

 metallic bluish-green dusting extending into the subapical area 

 in a short cvirve, an interrupted terminal bluish-green similar 

 line, and a similar stripe in the cell. Secondaries with the black 

 base edged laterally by a broadish metallic-blue, curved, costal 

 dash, and a fine line on its outer edge ; terminal half blackish, 

 with a subterminal row of large deep black subtriangular spots, 

 tapering smaller to the apex, and mai-gined entirely by the same 

 brilliant blue dusting, which dusting tapers rather narrower 

 towards the apex. 



Expanse 42 mm.
