90 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



velvet patch free from blue scales in the cell of the forewing, and with raised 

 androconia. It is smaller in size and has the transverse hand on the underside nearer 

 the base and directed more inwards from the hind margin. The band is pale 

 yellow, and there is more yellow at the anal angle than in C. deohis. The shining 

 patch at the base of hind margin of forewings below, seen in C. cleobif, is wanting, and 

 there is no trace of the tuft of black hairs in the same place. 



Female, similar, but a duller, paler blue as in C. cleohis, and without the 

 velvety patch on the forewing. 



Described from four males and two females taken in the Karen Hills. This species 

 is allied to lolaus isceus, Hew., from Sarawak, of which Tajuria relata, Dist., is the female. 

 I have this latter from Nias Island in both sexes, and a single worn male from Perak. 



The venation of C. cleoboides differs from that of C. cleobis and C. relata in 

 having only two branches to the sub-costal, and it may perhaps on this account, and 

 owing to the well-marked patch on the male, form a new sub-genus. (Elwes.) 



Expanse of wings, $ ? ly%- to I/q inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Java, Sumatra, Borneo. 



Distribution. — The types from the Karen Hills are in coll. Elwes ; Hewitson 

 records it from Borneo, de Niceville from Mergui, Tenasserim, N.E. Sumatra, and 

 E. Java ; our figures are copies of Elwes' figures. 



Genus BULLIS.

Very close to Britomartis, mihi, Journ. Bo. Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. ix. p. 304 (1895), 

 from which it differs only in the absence in the male of a large patch of androconia on 

 the upperside of the forewing occupying the outer three-fourths of the discoidal cell, 

 and extending into the discoidal and median interspaces ; the apex of the forewing is 

 more produced, and the outer margin consequently straighter ; the second sub-costal 

 nervule arises nearer to the first than to the apex of the discoidal cell, in Britomartis 

 it arises nearer to the end of the discoidal cell than to the first sub-costal nervule, 

 no third sub-costal nervule, the eyes are naked.
