BURALINM. 283 



broadly but decreasingly to the anal angle, black ; the abdominal margin broadly pale 

 fuscous ; the rest of the wing bright blue. Underside. Forewing pale fuscous 

 inclining to pale ochreous broadly on the inner margin ; a large reddish spot at tlie 

 end of the cell ; a discal macular reddish band from the costa to the first median 

 nervule, a sub-marginal black-mixed-with-red band ; the sexual tuft of hairs on the 

 inner margin turned under and upwards, pale ochreous. Hindwing with the base 

 rather broadly black, the rest of the wing reddish, becoming darker towards the outer 

 margin, where it is umber-coloured ; beyond the black area is a broad area extending 

 across the wing, consisting of a confused mass of ill-shaped ochreous spots, the outer 

 margin bears a double lunulated fuscous line, each pair of lunules enclosing a small 

 space of the ground colour. Cilia reddish throughout, broad and coarse, and very long 

 on the hiiidwing, especially where they fringe the anal lobe. 



The butterfly is so entirely different from all others known to me in shape, 

 markings and sexual characters that I can compare it with none. It remotely reminds 

 one of Thecla frivaldszhji, Lederer, and allies, in the markings of the underside ; but 

 the coloration of the upperside, the truncated apex of the forewing and the " male 

 marks " are wholly dissimilar. 



Described from a single example not in perfect order, captured 2,500 feet 

 elevation above the sea by Mr. J. L. Lister, after whom I have much pleasure in 

 naming the genus. As my friend Mr. G. C. Dudgeon " discovered " the species in 

 Mr. Lister's collection, I have named it specifically after him. (de Niceville.) 



Female unknown. 



Expanse of wings, ^1^ inches. 



Habitat. — Bhutan. 



We have not seen this species, the type is in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, we 

 therefore give copies of de Niceville's figure.
