RITOPA LOCERA MA LA YA NA . 



The woodcut here given is copier! from Felder'a figure, and which when 

 executed, constituted the writer's sole knowledge of the species. Since then 

 a specimen has been received which affords an opportunity of giving a fuller 

 description. 



Male. Wings above bright shining cerulean-blue; costal and outer margins 

 narrowly fuscous. Wings beneath brownish, with the following greyish lines or 

 FtL *' tyM}Mri«. hura fascia? and spots :— anterior wings with two pairs of transverse lines in celt (one 

 at base and one near middle), and a similar pair at end of coll; above the last 

 are two placed closer together, and almost reaching cost a ; a pair beneath cell situate on each side 

 of lower median nervule; between cell and out'-v ninryin \-< a mrvnl fascia, strongly dislocated at 

 tbe nervuies, commencing at second subcostal nervule and terminating at lower median nervule, and 

 a submarginal row of small greyish spots placed between tbe nervuies; posterior winfjs with two 

 basal spots, and the whole disk covered with transverse fasciae more or less dislocated and fused ; 

 three black spots with metallic greenish scales near anal angle. Body and legs more or leas concolorous 

 with wings. 



Exp. wings, 6* , 8& millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Penang (Biggs — coll. Diet.) ; Malacca (Com. de Castelnau — -coll. Feld.) ; 

 Singapore (Wallace)*— Borneo (Druce). 



I have not seen a female specimen, but in the male sex: the species is rendered very 

 distinct from any of those preceding and here enumerated, by the metallic cerulean-blue of the 

 upper surface of the wings. As it is now recorded from Penang, Malacca, and Singapore, 

 Y. hjcmAfia is probably generally distributed throughout our area. 



The following species are only known to the writer by figures and descriptions (both of 

 which are here reproduced), and seem to belong to the genus Nar affair a : — 



10, Narathura vihara.

 under surface of the posterior wing* appear to have a greater amount of apeciulisution.
