fringes and extreme hind margin yellow, preceded by a purple 

 festoon, Avhich runs in a short distance along the inner margin ; at 

 ■| of the eosta a funnel-shaped purple marking obliquely curved 

 outwards to the radial, and reappearing on the inner margin before 

 anal angle as a small cone-shaped spot. Hind ^\•ings similar ; but 

 without any costal markings. Head and palpi reddish ; antenna) 

 yellowish, touched with red ; abdomen ochreous, Mith red dorsal 

 markings ; thorax azure. Underside paler azure, with costa of 

 fore Aviugs and fringes yellowish.

[I have only seen two males of this very distinct species, both 

 taken by natives. — //. J. E.~\ 



Uliocnemis, gen. nov. 



Fore wings broad, triangular ; costa gradually arched throughout ; 

 apex blunt ; hind margin rounded, hardly oblique ; anal angle well 

 marked. Hind whigs broad, with the interior angle rounded and 

 the anal angle produced and square ; hind margin variously rounded, 

 sometimes cut off squarely. Palpi porrect, in S quite short, in 

 $ much longer. Antennae of ^ with long pectinations, which 

 are themselves pubescent ; in $ also pectinated, but much less 

 strongly than in J . Fore tibice of J with a tuft of hair under- 

 neath. Xeuration normal. Scaling delicate, fine, and silky. 



Type, UUomemis cassidara, Guen. 



The tuft of hairs on the fore tibia? of the male is often difficult to 

 be made out, and is liable to be worn off. 



UlIOCXEMIS ALBIMAEGIIfATA, Sp. U. 



5 . Wings pale grass-green ; fore wings with two white vertical 

 transverse lines ; the first slightly curved outwards at \ ; the second 

 at ^, sinuous from costa to the 3rd median nervule, then straight 

 towards the anal angle, before reaching which it is diverted 

 rectangularly inwards, including at the angle a small brown patch ; 

 an indistinct, irregularly sinuous, submarginal Avhitish line; the 

 green space between the exterior and the submarginal line is 

 interrupted below the costa by a suft'used while patch; nervules 

 towards the hind margin whitish ; fringes whitish green, a minute 

 black- brown dot at their base between the nervules ; 2 larger ones 

 at the anal angle beyond the brown patch ; discal dot small, brown. 

 Hind w ings w ith the discal marking linear, brown ; exterior line 

 indistinctly white, starts from the costa level with the extremity 

 of the exterior line of the fore wing, runs vertically to the lower 

 subcostal, along which it goes nearly to the hind margin, then 

 curves along the hind margin, widening in its course to above the 

 anal angle ; space between this line aiul the hind margin filled up 

 with black-brown from the costa to the radial; thence white, more 

 or less tinged with green in the middle. Head, thorax, and abdo- 

 men (probably) green ; underside of abdomen white. Underside
