38 L. de 'Nicevil\e—Btdte7-flies from the Indo-Malayan region. [No. 1, 



ifc Is somewliat broadly black ; on the underside of the hindwing the 

 black spot in the first median interspace is half as large, while the 

 orange area anterior to this spot is many times larger than in G. avysis. 

 From C. cotys it differs on the underside in the common white discal 

 band being narrower, in the absence of the common " submarginal 

 obscure rufous band," by the large size of the orange patch ci'owning 

 the black spot in the first median interspace of the hindwing, and by the 

 anal lobe being crowned with blue instead of orange. 



Described from two male examples sent me by Mr. H. Fruhstorfer. 



33. APHNiEUS HIENDLMATEII, n. sp,, Plate V, Fig. 5, $ . 



Habitat: N.-E. Sumatra. 



Expanse : $ , 1'7 inches. 



Description : Female. IJpferside, both wings fuscous with strong 

 reflections in certain lights, in one light dark purple, in another ochreous- 

 bronzy. Hindwing, anal angle and lobe bearing a large patch of deep 

 red (dragon's blood) colour, this red area outwardly marked with a 

 black line centci-ed with a line of pure silvery scales ; tails also deep 

 red, but becoming black towards the end, tipped with white. Undekside, 

 hofJi ivings dull brownish-ochicous, the disc somewhat mottled with deep 

 red, profusely marked with spots of the purest metallic silvery colour. 

 Foreiving with the silvery spots thus : — A series of dots along the costa, 

 the series not quite reaching the base of the wing, increasing in size as 

 they advance towards the apex of the wing, the series not nearly reach- 

 ing the apex ; a large oblique streak near the middle of the discoidal 

 cell ; an upright one across its end ; two spots beyond placed obliquely ; 

 an elongated curved streak below the cell divided by the second median 

 nervule j a lengthened narrow streak lying along the first median ner- 

 vule ; a chain-like submarginal band — all these silvery spots narrowly 

 outwardly defined with a black line and more broadly by deep red ; a 

 marginal deep red line ; the base of the wing yellowish, the inner mar- 

 gin broadly whitish, becoming plumbeous at the first median nervule. 

 Ulndicing with sixteen silvery spots and streaks as in the forewing sjiread 

 fairly evenly over the base and disc ; a submai'ginal red band recurved to 

 the abdominal margin, the band anteriorly slightly, posteriorly profusely, 

 mai'ked with silvery ; a nai'row deep red anteciliary line ; the anal lobe 

 deep red bearing a small black spot anteriorly crowned Avith yellow. 

 Body above concolorous with the wings on the upperside. Face in 

 front, palpi, body beneath, and legs yellow. 



As far as I am aware, this species has no near ally, it does not even 

 remotely resemble any Oriental sjjecies with which I am acquainted. 

 In the type specimen, being a female, the upperside is not brilliantly
