 Peninsula; Malacca (colL Staudinger). 



A single male Malaccaii specimen in the collection of Dr, Standinger forms my only 

 knowledge of this species from the Peninsula, Although this specimen differs from the typical 

 form of the species by the darker colouring of the anterior wings, and especially by the 

 brownish hue of the posterior wings, it was yet identilied without doubt by Mr, Moore himself as 

 representing his 0. jynteana. When one compares the Figures of this species given by Messrs. 

 Moore, de Niceville, and myself, the difficulty of properly portraying the colour of these small 

 Lycmidat (either by hand-colouring or chromo -lithography) becomes painfully apparent. This 

 difficulty, however, is scarcely detrimental to determination, for the markings beneath, on which 

 trite identification (Upends, will be seen to be uniform and unmistakable. 



That the species is variable is shown by the following remarks of Mr. de Niceville : — 

 ** Four male and two female specimens of this species were taken by me at different elevations 

 in Sikkim in October, The males diSer in size, in the absence in two of them of the white 

 patch on the disc of the fore wing on the upperside, and also in the width of the marginal black 

 border, which in some specimens disappears at the hinder angle. The underside is very 

 constant, all the spots and markings being very small and distinct/'*

"Allied to C, lavendularisA Male— Upperside of a darker but duller blue, and of an uniform tint

 similar but slightly narrower. Underside similarly marked, except that in the fore wing there are but 

 four transverse diseal spots, which are also disposed in a inor*> linear series."

A single specimen of this species, collected by the Rev, L. Biggs in Penang, has alone 

 reached me from the Peninsula. Mr. de Niceville writes that it is very common in Sikkim ; 

 he "took it at various elevations in October, and Mr. Otto Mollcr has taken it in large numbers 

 in the spring*" 



5. Cyaniris sp, ? (Tab. XLIV., fig. 10 2 ,) 



I am unable to definitely identify this species, and having but one specimen of one sex 

 before me at present, and judging that such may most probably prove to be the female of some 

 other described species, I here merely figure and draw attention to it.
