with a slight silvery lustre. Forewing with a streak across the end of 

 the cell and a curved disoal line of six dark streaks set iu paler rings, the 

 second, third, fourth and fifth outwardly oblique, the fifth and sixth 

 removed inwardly : a submarginal row of joined ooellua-like spots, con- 

 sisting of a dark lunule enclosing a pale, dark-pupilled spot, a marginal 

 dark line. Hindiving with three distinct basal spots, a streak across the 

 end of the cell, a very irregular series of discal spots, the first very 

 large and black, near the costa, the second minute, near the first but more 

 basal, the next four forming an oblique crescent (the fifth small, the sixth 

 larger, nearer the base), the seventh large, removed outwardly, the 

 eighth (between the submedian and the internal veins) smaller and 

 nearer the base. The submarginal ocelli are as in the forewing, the 

 inner lunular line more serrate. Female unknown. 



This S23ecies, which is the darkest Cyaniris known, was taken in 

 the Tenasserim Valley in February, but in the rains it is perhaps con- 

 fined to higher lands. An apparently identical species is found in the 

 Malay Peninsula at a considerable height, and seems to be C. jynteana, 

 Distant (neo de Niceville). 



The genus Cyaniris is better represented in the tropics than is 

 generally supposed. I have myself taken ten species, including liaraUtis, 

 in the Malay Peninsula, eight confined to high elevations ; also, seven 

 in the mountains of Eastern Java and four in the Celebes, besides C. 

 duponchelii, Godt. ( ?=p««^a, Moore) in Sumba and Samba wa, and C. 

 akasa in Sambawa at 4,500 feet elevation. 



Pithecojis Groxip. 



89. Neopithecops zalmora, Butler. 



Mergui, Myitta, commoner than P. h-ylais. The species occurs in 

 Java and Sumba, but is rare in both. It is common from the Chitta- 

 gong Hill Tracts to South-Eastern Borneo. 



90. PiTHECOPS HYLAX, Fab. 

 Myitta, Mergui, scarce. 



91. Megisba malata, Horsf. 



Myitta, Mergui. The species occurs unchanged in Borneo, Java 

 Sumba, and Sambawa. Not being protected like the two preceding 

 genera, it has acqtiired narrower and more pointed wings, and a much 

 swifter flight. 



Genera of Uncertain rosition. 



92. NiPHANDA ctmbia, dc Nice. 



One male, Myitta. I have taken the allied N. tessellata in Province 

 Wellesley, and the Kedah State, Malay Peninsula, where it is very 

 rare.
