6. D. Coelestis, n. sp. 
<J Brilliant light shining blue ; central area white ; narrow black 
margins. 
Upperside. — Primaries: Costal margin very narrow ; apex wider; outer 
margin decreasing to hinder angle, all the black margins very 
distinct ; white central patch triangular in shape, very wide on 
hinder margin, extending^ipwards to and along median vein to end 
of cell, very sharply defined. Secondaries : With the base blue ; outer 
area broadly blue ; intermediate space pure white ; outer border 
narrowly and distinctly margined with black. 
Underside. — Primaries : The whole of base, the costa broadly, outer 
border moderately margined with jet black ; a sub-marginal outer 
row of white points, within the black ; rest of wing white ; an almost 
obsolete outer marginal fine white irregular line. Secondaries : Base, 
and a very wide outer marginal band, the inner edge of which 
describes a slightly concave line from apical angle to some distance 
up abdominal margin, jet black ; central portion from border to 
border but very much wider on costa, pure white ; a submarginal 
row of triangular white spots, from anal angle to apical, and above 
this a parallel row of metallic green, smaller lunular marks, both 
within the black band ; a very indistinct outer marginal broken white 
line ; median first branch prolonged into a short tail, black tipped 
with white. 
$ Upperside. — Primaries: Base extending to end of cell, not quite 
touching costa, broadly light metallic blue ; costa narrowly to end of 
cell, then very broadly to apex, black ; outer border broadly black ; 
rest of wing white. Secondaries : Outer border broadly black ; from 
abdominal margin above the black border broadly, but narrowing to 
a point when it reaches inner edge of black band at apex, light shining 
blue ; rest of wing white. 
Underside. — As in $ . 
Thorax and abdomen in both sexes above metallic blue ; beneath, white. 
Ex. : $ 30-35 mm. ; % 22-32 mm. Hab. : Cairns. Coll. : Queensland 
Museum. 
This exquisite little species was recently captured by the Museum 
collector (Mr. J. C. Wilde), at Cairns. It is intermediate between 
Taygetus (Feld.) and Aleuas (Feld.), the blue being paler and more 
brilliant than in the former, but not nearly so light as in the latter ; 
the underside differs most completely from both.
