area in the forewing in and beyond the cell more extensive, also the pale blue scaling at the bases of the wings 
lpore extensive; the dark brown marginal band beneath twice as broad. $ above more brown, without any 
blue scales at the bases of the wings, the marginal band beneath in the same proportion broader than in refusa 
German New Guinea (Kapaur). 
C. xanthospilos Hbn. (= hiibneri Godt., pulchella Swns., byzos Bsd.) (145 f). above bluish-violet, xanttiospi- 
apex and border of the forewing bioad black, on the posterior half of the wing a large, dark yellow spot extending 
to the cell-end; hindwing blackish-brown with a blue tint; marginal scales white. Under surface white with 
black marginal spots being more prominent in the hindwing between the veins, two black dots at the cell-end 
and one before the middle of the proximal margin at vein 1 b. Marginal scales white. $ above without any 
blue colouring, blackish-brown, the yellow spot of the forewing larger. Australia (Queensland, New South 
Wales, Victoria). 
C. ilias Fldr. $ above reddish-violet, forewing at the costal margin narrow, at the distal margin ilias. 
more broadly bordered with black, the broadest at the apex; hindwing with a narrow, black border. $ dark 
brown with a metallic reflection, forewing with a pale blue discal spot, hindwing with a similar basal spot. 
Under surface silvery white, before the middle of the proximal margin at vein 1 a single black dot. In $ from 
the Bismarck Archipelago the whitish-blue marking above is sometimes very extensive, forming in the forewing 
a large triangular inner-marginal spot and extending in the hindwing almost to the border. Amboina, Aru 
Islands, Bismarck Archipelago (New-Pomerania, New Lauenburg), Queensland, New South Wales.

black; the black marginal scale-spots at the ends of the veins less distinct than in ilias. Under surface more 
brownish-white, not purely white as in ilias. Amboina. 
C. innotatus Mish. Most closely allied to ilias, the forewing somewhat more pointed, with a shorter innotatus.

the upper surface is blackish-brown, in the forewing with a light violettish-blue reflection as far as beyond 
the middle, in the hindwing with a faint blue reflection. Under surface like in ilias. Queensland (Brisbane). 
C. kamerungae Waterh. above violettish-blue, forewing behind the cell-end with a small, white kamerun- 
spot, apex broadly black, costal and distal margins more narrowly bordered with black; hindwing at the apex gat 
with a white costal-marginal spot, proximal margin likewise whitish, distal margin narrowly black. Under 
surface unicolo rously silvery-white, with small black marginal spots at the ends of the veins and a black puncti- 
form spot on vein 1 b before the middle of the proximal margin. $ forewing above very broadly margined with 
black, also along the whole or half the proximal margin, so that only an almost circular white discal spot remains, 
with a silvery blue reflection on being obliquely exposed to light; base slightly scaled blue; hindwing dark brown 
with a white apical spot and a white proximal margin. Under surface like in the the black marginal spots 
more prominent. North Queensland (Cairns District).

Under surface white with a bluish tint and a black marginal line. Forewing with a black spot at the posterior 
cell-end, hindwing with a black punctiform spot before the middle of the proximal margin below vein 1. $ above 
blackish-brown, forewing behind the cell with a long-stretched white spot with a blue reflection, extending 
to the proximal margin. Marginal scales in the hindwing at the ends of tire veins spotted blackish-brown. New 
Guinea and Duke of York Island. 
C. moira Sm. & Ivy. $ above very much like regina (145 f), somewhat larger, apex in the forewing moira. 
and costal margin in the hindwing somewhat more broadly bordered with dark. Under surface likewise very 
similar to that of regina, only the marginal line in the hindwing very fine and narrow, and the marginal scales 
at the ends of the veins more distinctly spotted black, ^above blackish-brown, the white marginal scales in both 
wings prominently dotted black, the blue spot between the cell and proximal margin in the forewing smaller 
and darker than in regina-If. Fergusson Island.

than in regina, particularly at the apex of the forewing very broad. Under surface white, except the black 
punctiform spot before the proximal margin without any markings, both wings with a fine black marginal 
line and black marginal scales at the ends of the veins. $ very similar to that of regina, the white spot in the 
forewing more rounded and extending somewhat less far towards the margin. Aru Islands. 
C. butleri Sm. & Ky. (145 g). Allied to intensa Btlr., somewhat larger. above deep purple blue, b utter i. 
both wings at the costal and distal margins bordered with black, in the forewing the whole apical third black. 
Marginal scales white, at the ends of the veins black. Under surface white, beside the black punctiform spot
