34 h> cle Niceville — BidterfHes from the Indo-Malayan region. [No. 1, 



markings of tlie underside of both wings being represented above by 

 pale blue bands, are also quite unique characters. On the upperside 

 L. lucicle reminds one of L. aratus, Cramer, as figured by Heer P. C. T. 

 Snellen in Tijdsch. voor Enfc., vol. xxxiii, p. 271, pi. xi, fig. 1, male 

 (1890), from Tanah-Djampea Island, near Celebes, but that species 

 has no broad black border to the forewing. 



Described from one specimen obtained by the Battaks in January, 

 1893, in my collection ; Dr. Martin possesses a single female example, 

 which I hope hereafter to have an opportunity to figure and describe. 



30. Aehopala CONSTANCES, n. sp., Plate lY, Fig. 11, ? . 



Habitat : South Andaman Isles, 



Expanse : 5 , 1'8 inches. 



Description : Female. Upperside, loth tvings rich shining rather 

 light blue. Foreioing with the costa as far as the subcostal nervure, the 

 apex vei"y widely, and the outer margin widely, purplish-black. Hind- 

 wing with the costa and outer margin broadly purplish-black, the abdo- 

 minal margin pale fuscous ; the anal lobe small, purplish-black ; tail 

 I'athcr short, purplish-black tipped with white ; cilia purplish-black 

 throughout. Underside, both wings purplish-reddish-brown, the markings 

 a little darker only than the ground-colour. Forexving with a small round 

 dot towards the base of the discoidal cell, a larger oval one at its middle, 

 a largo one at its end, with a spot below filling the base of the first 

 median interspace ; the discal band straight, even, formed of six nearly 

 equal-sized spots, extending fi'om the costa to the first median nervule ; 

 two indistinct submarginal macular bands ; the inner margin broadly 

 pale, this pale area reaching to the submedian nervure ; with an indistinct 

 spot (its outer edge shai'ply defined) within and posterior to the point 

 where the first median nernxle arises. Hindioing with the usual basal 

 spots small, the quadrate spot closing the discoidal cell touching the 

 large second anterior spot of the usual discal fascia ; the submarginal 

 band broad ; the anal lobe bearing a small deep black spot crowned 

 with dull dark green scales, with a few scattered similar scales in the 

 interspace beyond. 



There is no allied Indian species with which I can compare this, 

 but it appears to be very similar on the underside to A. ate, Hewitson, 

 from Amboina, diifering, however, in the discal band of the hindwing 

 touching the disco-cellular spot instead of being widely separated from 

 it, and in having the metallic green sprinklings at the anal angle much 

 fewer. 



Described from a single example obtained at Port Blair by the 

 late Mr. R. "Wimberley, after whose widow I have much pleasure in 

 namincf it.
