Cyaniris nebulosa. (Plate XXXI. fig. 18, d .) 



Lycana mbulosa, Leechj Entomologist, xxiii. p. 43 (1890). 



MaJe. Lilac-blue, suffused with fuscous, rrimarics have some pale blue scales along the costa, 

 and a distinct black discoidal spot ; the outer margiu is broadly bordered with black, aud the 

 central series of spots of the under surface are faintly indicated. Secondaries have all the 

 margins broadly bordered with black. Fringes white. Under surface pale greyish white ; 

 linear discoidal spot and central series of spots on primaries black ; submarginal series of 

 dark grey lunules, followed by a series of blackish linear spots on the outer margin : secon- 

 daries have a basal series of three, and a central series of eight, black spots : discoidal spot is 

 linear and very narrow, the markings beyond are similar to those on primaries, but the spots 

 on the margiu in the median interspaces are round and larger ; fringes white, streaked with 

 grey, and preceded by a thin blackish line. 



Expanse 36 millim. 



Female. Primaries blackish ; the central area is blue, suffused with blackish. Secondaries blackish, 

 streaked with blue between the nervules ; there is a submarginal series of black-centred blue 

 spots. 



Expanse, d" 38 miUim., 5 34 millim. 



Since describing the male type of this species, Avhich was from Chang-yang, 

 Central China, I have received an example of each sex from Chow-pin-sa, 

 Western China; the male differs from the type in having narrower black 

 borders on primaries, and except a broad streak on the costal area there is no 

 black on secondaries. The under surface is rather greyer than that of the 

 type in both of these specimens from Western China, and the spots are much 

 less distinct.
