210 Wood-Mason & de Niceville — On the Bliopalocerous [No. 4, 



29. Cyrestis cocles, var. andamanica, nov. 



Our single male differs from a continental (Sylhet) one in the Museum 

 collection only in its larger size, whiter ground-colour throwing up the 

 slightly darker markings, in the finer and rather indistinct submarginal 

 black lines of all its wings on the upperside, and in the more distinct 

 ochraceous-fuscous markings of the underside. 



Mr. Hewitson, we find, referred a series of specimens of a Cyrestis 

 from the Andamans to this species, and he justly said of them that for 

 delicacy of colouring they were some of the most beautiful things he had 

 ever seen. 



30. Cyrestis Formosa, Felder.

$ . Allied to C. codes, with which it agrees almost exactly in the 

 character of the markings of the upperside, but from which it differs in its 

 pure white ground-colour painted with different shades of sepia-brown 

 instead of pale ochraceous and ochraceous-fuscous and black, the black 

 marks of C. cocles being represented by the darkest of the sepia colouring, 

 in its larger and more distinct ocelli, and in having a distinct but pale 

 fulvous patch at the anal angle of the posterior wing ; and, on the under- 

 side, in having only the lightest portions of the sepia markings absent and 

 replaced by white or whitish. 



Length of anterior wing 1*16 ; whence expanse = 2'4 inches. 

 Nine specimens exactly alike from S. Andaman. 



"We have since received a tattered male specimen from Khurda, a place 

 25 miles S. S. W. of Cuttack, the chief town of Orissa, in Continental India. 

 31. Cyrestis thyodamas, var. andamanica, nov. 

 We entered the name of this species in our previous list without 

 remark because we had at the time but a single specimen before us and the 

 characters which distinguish it from the typical continental form might have 

 proved to be inconstant. We have since received a very large series of 

 specimens of the male all agreeing perfectly with one another and differing 

 from all continental (from Kulu to Upper Tenasserim) ones in the blacker 

 apex and outer margin, in the prominent somewhat diffused black spot on 

 the third median veinlet between the third and fourth common black strigse 

 at the point where these bend towards each other in the anterior wing ; 

 and in having the fulvous marks of the anal half of the abdominal margin, 

 of the anal angle, and of the outer margin as far as the discoidal vein, of 

 the posterior wing, much diffused and darker ; — in having, in fact, all the 

 markings and colouring darker and coarser both above and below.
