in cell, nnd one on abdominal margin), and the following brownish linear spots margined as on anterior 

 wingB : — one diaco- cell alar, a series of six crossing disk beyond middle, and of which the central four are 

 nearly continuous, two submarginal and connected series, which beyond the discoidal nervule are merged 

 in three very large and contiguous reddish ochraceous spots, each containing a smaller pyramidal black 

 spot on wbich are a few metallic -green scaleB, and two small transverse linear black spots at anal angle ; 

 extreme margin and fringe as on anterior wings. Body and legs more or less concolorous with winys- 



Female. Wings above paler and more obscure violaceous -blue ; anterior wings with very broad 

 fuscous costal and outer margins ; posterior wings with a very broad fuscous costal margin, and with a 

 distinct marginal row of black spots margined witb greyish, the two spotB separated by the median nervnlcs 

 inwardly margined with reddish ochraceous. Wings beneath as in male. 



Exp. wings, J and J , 24 to 80 millim.

1 did not receive this species in time to have it lithographed with the other members of 

 the family, but the woodcut will be quite sufficient — if the description is also consulted — to at 

 once determine this well-marked Lycsenid. Its geographical range is doubtless far wider than 

 I have been at present able to determine. 



Genus JAMIDES. 



Jamides, Hiibner, Yers. bek. Bchmett. p. 71 (1816); Moore, Lep. Ceyl. i. p. 86 (1881). 



Anterior winga subtriangular ; costal margin moderately convex, tbe apex obtusely acute, outer 

 margin obliquely convex, inner margin slightly concavely sinuate; costal nervuro somewhat abruptly 

 directed to costa at about its centre ; first subcostal nervule emitted a little beyond middle of cell, angulated 

 and impinging on costal nervnre at a short distance from its apex, second emitted at about one-third before 

 end of cell, third nearer to end of cell than to base of second, third and fourth bifurcating almost midway 

 between end of cell and apex of wing ; cell extending to about half the lengtb of wing ; lower median 

 nervule emitted a little beyond middle of median nervure. Posterior winga subovate, posterior margin 

 provided with a slender tail -like appendage at apex of lower median nervule ; cell short and broad, second 

 median nervule emitted just before tbe end of celL Palpi porrect, second joint robust and hirsute, projecting 

 half way beyond the head, apical joint slender, about half the length of second ; legs moderately robust ; 

 antenna with a well- formed and curved club. 



This genus is, according to present knowledge, only represented by one species in the 

 Malay Peninsula, and as J amides is apparently a small genus we cannot expect to find many 

 more members of it in this fauna.
