New Forms of Lycaenidae 355 



fuscous-brown distal border enclosing a thin white line nearly reaching 

 vein 4. Yellow-brown spots on the bands posteriorly are larger. Distal 

 yellow-brown spot in 3 small, in 2 quadrate without black centre, in 

 lb small, and in lc as in other forms. Anal area fuscous-brown to 

 the point where the discal band joins the others. Some metallic- 

 green scales in lb and 2, between the outer and inner yellow-brown 

 spots. 



New Ireland, one 3 , received from Herr W. Niepelt. 



3. Arhopala rileyi sp. nov. 



Allied to chamaeleona Beth.-Bkr. from British New Guinea, also 

 occurring on the Schouten Islands. Distinguished from this on the 

 underside by the absence of any grey white discal suffusion, and by the 

 presence of green scaling on the anal area. 



3 . Upperside coloured as in chamaeleona. Hind wing with dark 

 costal area reaching or nearly reaching vein 6. 



Underside colouring and markings very much as in chamaeleona, 

 the grey-white edging of all spots more sharply denned. Hind wing 

 without any grey-white suffusion except slightly in the distal area of 

 cellules 5 and 6. Cellspots clearly denned, the middle one larger. 

 A well-marked oblong discoidal spot, traversed by a pale line. All 

 spots below vein 6 sharply denned and formed as in chamaeleona, other 

 spots as in this form. The two submarginal pale irregular lines further 

 apart, and at vein 3 merged with the anal scaling. Some grey-violet 

 scaling from above vein 3 to the inner margin, narrowly separated by 

 the ground-colour from some metallic greenish-blue scaling which 

 forms a curved line in cellule 2, a patch in lc, and a short line in 

 lb. A white antemarginal line and a black anal spot as in chamaeleona. 

 2 . Upperside much as in chamaeleona. Fore wing with the blue 

 area forming a streak above vein 4, outer edge less incurved below 

 vein 2. 



Underside as in the 3 . 



Length of fore wing : 3 ? , 24 mm. 



Central Ceram : Manusela, 3,000 feet, October and November, C, 

 F., and J. Pratt, two 3 3 , two ? V .
