line like in the forewing, the middle part still more outwardly removed; submarginal line uninterrupted, mar¬ 
ginal line like in the forewing, a black spot at the apex, the margin spotted black as far as vein 6. New Guinea 
(Aroa River). 
C. grandissima B.-Bak. (= grandis B.-Bak.) (145 g). $ above lilac-blue, both wings wdth a fine grandis- 
black border, hindwing with small, black marginal spots on the costal half. Under surface greyish-white with simu. 
a brownish tinge and a dark-brown marking, forewing with a narrow discal spot, a broad, distinct, somewhat 
curved postdiscal band growing narrower towards the anal angle, and an interrupted submarginal dentate 
line; in the hindwing a series of 5 basal spots, a narrow discal spot, across the middle of the cell a series of 
larger spots, the 3rd spot of which is clistally removed and parted by vein 3, a sharply dentate, convex post¬ 
discal streak between vein 6 and 2, parallel to it a fine submarginal dentate line and a fine dark marginal 
line, at the apex a small spot. The expanse (46 mm) is rather considerable for this genus. British New 
G uinea (Owgarra). 
C. lamia Gr.-Sm. (145 i). Similar to absimilis Fldr. (145 d). q above with a somewhat more violet lamia. 
tinge, the black border of the wing almost as narrow as a line; marginal scales white, in the hindwing at the 
ends of the veins spotted black. Under surface light silvery grey, the part behind the postdiscal band white, 
both wings at the base pale greenish-blue. The iDostdiscal line and submarginal line distinct and particularly 
in the hindwing deeply dentatecl; marginal line and marginal spots likewise distinct, the latter in the hindwing 
larger, in the shape of a T; the discal band in the hindwing indistinct, the subbasal row of spots, the spot below 
the base of vein 2 and at the proximal margin likewise present, but not very distinct. Forewing of the $ 
almost black, on the posterior half with a broad greyish-blue streak extending from the base as far as near 
the distal margin and being darkened at the base; hindwings grey with a narrow border being somewhat broader 
at the apex. Marking beneath more distinctly prominent than in the $. Fergusson Island. 
C. tringa Gr.-Sm. (145 d). $ above of a bright blue lustre, distal margin in both wings narrowly tringa. 
bordered with blackish, the inner-marginal area of the hindwing blackish-grey. Under surface white, forewing 
with 2 postmedian, blackish lines proceeding from the costal margin, being convergent above vein 2, hindwing 
with a transverse line across the middle of the cell from the costal margin to the base of vein 2, the postdiscal 
line between the veins 7 and 6 and at vein 2 strongly interrupted, the submarginal line consisting of coherent 
flat bows, the marginal spots distinct; below the cell 2 blackish dots, the distal one below the base of vein 2 
being very distinct. Marginal line in both wings distinct. German New Guinea (Humboldt Bay). 
C. dimorpha Bob. (145 e). Allied to absimilis Fldr. (145 d). $ above brilliant blue, distal margin in dimorpha. 
both wings with a narrow, distinct black border, costal-area in the forewing grey, in the middle lighter, the 
proximal margin blackish. Under surface white with a slight grey-brownish tinge, the postdiscal and sub- 
marginal lines in the forewing fine, indistinct and interrupted at the veins, in the hindwing likewise only the 
two corresponding lines present, of the postdiscal line only the posterior half. Marginal spots only in the hindwing, 
marginal line in both wings distinct. German New Guinea (Stephansort). 
C. neurapacuna B.-Bak. above blue, both wings with a very broad, black distal margin, that, of neura- 
the forewing narrower black, so is the proximal margin in the hindwing. Under surface silvery white with pacuna. 
a dark brown marking; both wings with a fine transverse streak at the cell-end and a postdiscal row distinct 
angular spots which are much denser at the cell than in the forewing, a series of submarginal spots being only 
in the hindwing obtuse-angular, and in the forewing with punctiform marginal spots being larger and more 
distinct in the hindwing, as well as a fine marginal line; in the hindwing a basal transverse row of 4 spots and 
a row of 3 spots crossing the middle of the cell. New Guinea (Angabunga River). 
C. subrosea Gr.-Sm. (145 e). S above light greyish-blue, with a somewhat reddish tinge and a distal subrosca. 
margin narrowly bordered with blackish. Under surface white, tinted pale reddish-brown, both wings with 
a complete postdiscal and submarginal line, the latter dentate, as well as distinct marginal dots and a distinct 
marginal line. German New Guinea (Humboldt Bay). 
C. cyprotus Oil. greatly approximates purpurea (145 e); <$ above reddish-brown with a coppery lustre cyprolus. 
except at the costal margin, distal margin and on the veins; on the forewing a blackish discal spot; marginal 
scales in both wings black, between the veins with grey tips. Under surface light brownish, both wings with 
a dark discal spot and a blackish, postdiscal and submarginal macular series. Marginal scales grey, in the 
hindwing spotted brown. $ above reddish violet with a yellowish-brown costal- and distal-marginal border in 
both wings. Marginal scales and under surface like in the $. South Queensland, New South Wales. 
C. purpurea Sm. & Ky. (145 e). above dark pink with a somewhat brownish tint and a bluish purpurea. 
purple lustre, being particularly bright on the veins of the forewing, which are bordered with black at the 
cell-end. Marginal scales white, at the ends of the veins black. Under surface yellowish greyish-brown, the 
postdiscal and submarginal bands in both wings broken up into black dots situate between the veins, the same 
being the case with the discal band in the hindwing; forewing with a double black discal dot. Sydney, Moreton 
Bay. According to Waterhouse synonymous to cyprotus.
