36. BiDnANDA NICETILLEI, Tl. sp., Plate XIII, fig. 16. 



Male, above, violet (mucli riclier and bluer than in B. ilicsmia), 

 slightly paler in the middle of the forewing, a narrow, even black border. 

 Jlindwing with two subanal black s^ois bordered inwardly by an area 

 irrorated with -whitish scales ; a marginal black and white line subanally, 

 the cilia partly white, as well as most of the tails. Below, much Uko 

 B. melisa, the markings more rufous, less fuscous, the basal spots simple, 

 not annular, the transverse discal band and the outer margin of the 

 forewing rufous brown and ferruginous of various shades, the apical part 

 of the outer margin of the hindwing light ferruginous, the metallic 

 green area large, extending unbroken from the upper median to the 

 internal veins, the submarginal line straightor, and loss undulated on 

 both wings. Expanse an inch and a half, the species being larger than 

 either melisa or scndJerii. Two males, Myitta. 



I name the species after Mr. Lionel de Niceville, whose great work 

 on Indian butterflies, equally important for the information which it 

 contains, and for the impetus which it is certainly destined to give to 

 the study of insects in the East, is now in progress.

Allied to thesmia and somewhat resembling the female of that 

 species. Male, above, dark fuscous, an orange area occupying about a 

 sixth of the forewing, including the lower angle of the cell, and the disc 

 fi'om the base of the lower radial to below the lower median vein ; a 

 somewhat large, obscure violet-blue subapical area (not refulgent in 

 any light), not reaching the costa or the outer margin; the hind 

 margin is also tinged with violet. Hindiving dull fuscous, a large dull 

 violet area from the coll to the outer margin, between the lower sub- 

 costal and the lower median vein, from the coll to the marginal black 

 line, its inner part densely in-orated with bluish-white scales, beyond 

 which lies a transverse darker discal fascia ; subanal area nearly black, 

 cilia whitish subanally, tails chiefly black except at the tip. Underside 

 much as in thesmia, expanse as in melisa. One male, Mergui. 



I name the species after Mr. S. H. Scudder of Cambridge, Massa- 

 chusetts, the first numbers of whose magnificent work on the New Eng- 

 land butterflies I have just had the good fortune to meet with.

A^jhnmus Group {Ajylmceina: ?). 



39. Amblypodia narada, Horsf. 



The Mergui form {andersomi, Moore) seems identical with that 

 found in the Malay Peninsula. It is of a brighter, richer blue than 

 the North Indian variety.
