white band common to both \viaci;s. Underside as in male, but \\lth 

 the yellowish basal streak on the costal margin m^-e prominent. 

 Cilia o£ both surfaces brown. 



Hab. Celebes: Minahassa (/"/a^eji, 3i((*. SiaitcZ.) ; Tongubu(J/((S. 

 G. 4' S.) ; S. Celebes (TF. D)h'rt,i, Mm. D.). 



The male of tliis species is well fiii;ured by Herr Snellen, and the 

 figure here given of the female is from a specimen in Dr. Staudinger's 

 collection. 



Mr. W. Doherty obtained a number of this insect in S. Celebes 

 in August and September. 



The white disks below are often uini-e or less covered with light 

 sulphur-yellow.

So far as we know this is the only species of the group which 

 has a blue female. 



The type specimens are the only ones we have seen. 



E. Tlce CYAXE.v group. 



The insects I have placed in this group may be recognized by 

 the short linear tail to the lower median nervule of hind wings. 

 There are several easily distinguished forms.

Ifab. Amboina (Doherli/, Mus. D.)- Ceram'. 



We possess a number of specimens from Amboina which do not 

 vary and which agree well with Cramer's ligures and whence his 

 type was probably obtained. The locality he gives is " lodes Occi- 

 dentales." His figure shows two tails to the hind wings, which is 

 of course incorrect, but it is in other respects a good one. 



As has been already pointed out by Herr Sen)per (Mus. Godef. 

 xiv. p. 155), this form shows considerable differences from its 

 Australian representative which has been described under the name 

 C'ii/)id<) ariiiia by M. C. Oberthiir: in the male by the black band 

 on the hind wing below being very mucli narrower and conse(|uently 

 allowing a much groat»;r exUait of u hitc, and in tlie female by the
