254 NYMPH ALIDyT. 



is complete, one or more spots in each being absent. Hind wing : 

 four spots in cell and a curved series of spots in the interspaces 

 beyond, ochraceous white ; the subterminal series of black marks 

 of the upperside showing indistinctly through. Antennae black, 

 ochraceous at apex; head, thorax and abdomen black, beneath 

 ochraceous. — 2 . Upperside fuliginous black spotted with ochraceous 

 black as follows: — Fore wing: interspace 1 with two or three 

 spots and short streaks, a spot in cell and two on the discocellulars, 

 a series of spots along the costal margin, a discal curved series 

 of four spots, a postdiscal inwardly oblique series of seven spots, 

 and a subterminal more obscure series of paired short streaks. 

 Hind wing : two lines of ochraceous spots crossing the wing from 

 the dorsal margin, followed by a postdiscal series of double cres- 

 centic marks, enclosing more or less detached round spots of the 

 dark ground-colour, and a subterminal series of short paired 

 streaks as in the fore wing. Underside : fore wing fuliginous 

 black ; hind wing bluish green, the spots and markings as on the 

 upperside; the apical half of the fore wing with a suffusion of 

 greenish scales. Antennas black ; head, thorax and abdomen 

 brownish black spotted with yellow ; beneath ochraceous white. 



Exp. S 2 86-110 mm. (3-4-4-3").

Race cyanipardus, Butler. — d 2 • Closely resembles the typical 

 form, but is very much larger and differs as follows : — S . Upper- 

 side : the spots on fore wing greenish white, the metallic green 

 band on the terminal margin very much narrower, shorter and 

 subterminal, not reaching the margin ; on the hind wing the 

 broad band on the terminal half also subterminal throughout its 

 length, not extending to the margin posteriorly ; green only at 

 the tornal angle. Underside : the ground-colour rich dark indigo- 

 green, the spots on the fore wing much fewer in number, confined, 

 except a prominent preapical white spot, to the cell and disc ; on 

 both fore and hind wing all the spots are bluish green, not 

 ochraceous. Antennas, head, thorax and abdomen black ; thorax 

 and abdomen beneath brownish. The female resembles the 

 typical form more closely than does the male, the ground-colour 

 and arrangement of the spots and markings being almost identical ; 

 the latter are, however, bluish not ochraceous. 



Exp. <$ 2 111-142 mm. (4-4-5'6"). 



Apparently confined to the hill-ranges of Assam. 



Race khasiana, Swinhoe. — Has the appearance of a small form 

 of cyanipardus, differing in both sexes from dirtea in the manner 

 that cyanipardus differs. It can be distinguished, however, from 

 cyanipardus by its smaller size ; in the <5 on the upperside the 

 fore wing is without spots, the subterminal band is blue not 

 green, the band on the hind wing is violaceous anteriorly, 

 merging into blue posteriorly, and on the underside the ground- 

 colour is a rich dark ferruginous. The female more closely 

 resembles the 2 oi cyanipardus on the upperside, the spots being,
