lower angle narrowly, and the apex widely black. Hindwing with the 

 costa widely and the outer margin narrowly black, the blue extending 

 bojond the submedian vein. Below dull fuscous-brown, the markings 

 but slightly darker, bordered by lines a little paler, only the basal spots 

 on the hindwing annular, the others with straight borders. Forewiny 

 ■ with three spots in the cell and a broad uniform baud, unbroken and 

 but slightly curved from the third subcostal to the lower median vein, the 

 base of the lower median space and the upper and basal part of the iuter- 

 uo-median space dark, separated distinctly from an outer pale area in that 

 space ; a submarginal line of obscure darker spots bordered by a slight- 

 ly paler line. Eindwing with the basal spots small and well separated, 

 a streak across the end of the cell extending to the sxibraediau vein, and 

 a transverse discal band dislocated outwardly below the lower subcostal 

 vein, continuous iu the next four spaces ; submarginal markings as on 

 the forewiug, a metallic green fascia from the lower median to the sub- 

 median vein, and a touch of it iu the lower median spot. The hindwing 

 is distinctly undulate outwardly ; it has no tail and but slight traces of 

 a lobe. Expanse If inch. 



Myitta. I know no species closely resembling it. It is a richly 

 coloured butterfly above, but the underside is unusually dull. 



13. Arhopala mieabella, n. sp. 



Male above bright violet-blue, dull violet in some lights, over fully 

 five-sixths of the forewing, the marginal black band moderate and nearly 

 equal on both wings. Below light fuscous, glossed with pale violet, the 

 markings large, numerous, distinct and crowded, consisting of deep 

 brown spots, paler in the middle, set in distinct violet-whitish rings or 

 parenthetic lines. Forewing with the throe usual cell spots large, a double 

 scries of costal marks, the transverse baud much broken, the spot in the 

 lower radial space (the fourth) extruded ; no distinct marks below the 

 cell two submarginal violet-whitish lines, the inner lunular, the outer 

 straight, obscure. Eindioing with the basal spots annular, the basal 

 costal one obsolescent ; the transverse discal band with only the first pair 

 of spots continuous (the second touching the terminal cell-spot which is 

 larcre, parenthetic), the others irregular, the third dislocated outwardly, 

 the'fifth inwardly ; two submai-ginal lunular lines, the anal angle with 

 three small black spots bordered with metallic green, behind which is a 

 narrow irrorated whitish fascia. Female with the blue somewhat paler 

 and coveriuo- only half the forewing, and the hindwing from the costal 

 vein (basally) and the upper subcostal almost to the submedian ; the 

 dark border rather wide. Both sexes have a slender tail tipped with
