black marginal spots cohering with it. Halmaheira. 
C. fulgens Sm. Ky. (145 g). Similar to butleri Sm. & Ky., the wings somewhat longer, forewing 
of the <$ of a deep purple colour, at the veins more blue, the black border along the costal margin broader than 
in butleri ; hindwing lighter than the forewing, greenish-blue. Under surface w r hite with a somewhat brownish- 
grey tint, beside the punctiform spot before the proximal margin without any markings, without a marginal 
line. Amboina. 
C. subovata Gr.-Sm. Closely allied to intensa (145 f) and Mas, the forewings somewhat broader, the 
distal margin more distinctly curved; G above more purple violet, apex in the forewing broad, costal margin 
very narrowly bordered with black, also the distal margin narrower, the same in the hindwing. Marginal scales 
white, in both wings at the ends of the veins distinctly spotted black. Under surface white with a brownish 
tint and a fine black marginal line, except a black spot like in intensa, nitens etc. without any markings. Marginal 
scales like above. $ differing very little from intensa and ilias-%, the light spot on the forewing above extends 
at the proximal margin less far towards the margin, the marginal scales are like in the <$ distinctly spotted 
black. German New Guinea (Humboldt Bay). 
C. ziska Sm. & Ky. (145 g). £ above similar to philotas Flclr., of a brighter bluish-violet, forewing 
more pointed; distal margin in both wings and costal margin in the forewing narrowly bordered with blackish- 
brown, costal margin of the hindwing whitish. Under surface white, except a black dot above the middle of 
the proximal margin without any markings at all. $ of a darker blue, forewings much more broadly margined 
with black, the costal-marginal area of the hindwing broadly dark greyish-brown, in the middle lighter, the 
veins with a black bordering extended as far as the black distal margin. Marginal scales white. dayman New 
Guinea (Kapaur). 
C. nitens Gr.-Sm. Forewing very pointed, also the anal angle of the hindwing pointed. Forewing 
of the $ above blackish-brown, with a broad, round silvery blue spot on the posterior half, extending along 
the proximal margin as far as near the margin; hindwings silvery blue with a rather broad blackish-brown 
margin. Under surface white, except a fine black dot before the middle of the proximal margin below vein 
2 entirely unmarked. Queensland. 
C. vicina Gr.-Sm. Wing-contours like in nitens and zadne. $ above bluish purple, apex in the forewing 
broad, costal and distal margins, as well as the distal margin in the hindwing quite narrowly bordered with 
blackish-brown; costal margin in the hindwing of a lighter brown. Under surface dirty white, only with a black 
dot like in nitens. $ above blackish-brown, in the forewing with a broad, round, lustrous blue spot extending 
from the middle of the cell to the proximal margin. British New Guinea (Mailu). 
C. zadne Gr.-Sm. $ above rather light lustrous blue. Forewing at the apex broadly, at the costal 
and distal margins more narrowly bordered with black, distal-marginal border in the hindwing narrow, parti¬ 
cularly towards the anal angle, costal margin lighter brown. Under surface white with a pale brownish tint, 
only one black dot like in nitens and vicina. $ above similar to vicina -$, the blue spot in the forewing narrower 
and lighter, at the cell-end whitish. British New Guinea (Mailu). 
C. cyana B.-Bak. $ above lustrous light blue, both wings at the costal and distal margins with a 
rather broad border growing narrower-towards the anal angle, marginal scales white. Under surface lustrous 
greyish-white, somewhat iridescent, only in the hindwing the black spot below vein 1 b before the middle and the 
veins 1 b to 4 with black marginal spots. New Guinea (Owgarra). 
C. aroa B.-Bak. $ above lustrous blue with a very broad, blackish-brown margining, particularly 
in the forewing, where it occupies the whole distal third of the wing. Under-surface cream-coloured, only the 
hindwing with a single dark spot at vein 1 below the base of 2, and with black marginal spots at the ends of 
the veins. New Guinea (Aroa River). 
C. pratti B.-Bak. $ above bright reddish-blue, costal margin of the hindwing narrow, distal margin 
of both wings somewhat broader black, the broadest at the apex of the forewing; costal margin of the hindwing 
as far as vein 7 white.. Under surface purely white, only the hindwing with a black dot below the vein 1 b 
before the middle. German-New Guinea (Fak-Fak). 
C. angabunga B.-Bak. $ above of a bright violettish-blue, forewing with a very broad black border 
extending at the apex as far as the cell-end and growing narrower towards the anal angle, costal margin narrow 
black; hindwing with a moderately broad, black costal- and distal-marginal border. Under surface greyish- 
white, somewhat lustrous, with black marginal scale-spots, in the forewing a black spot behind the middle 
of the cell, in the hindwing a black discal spot and a spot at the lower margin of vein 1 b before the middle. 
New-Guinea (Angabunga River). 
C. dinawa B.-Bak. above of a bright violettish-blue, forewing with a black distal-marginal 
border being rather broad at the apex and growing rapidly narrower towards the anal angle, hindwing with 
a brown costal- and proximal margin and a narrow black distal margin. Under surface greyish-white, somewhat 
lustrous, only in the hindwing a black spot at the lower edge of vein 1 b before the middle; small black spots at 
the ends of the veins, somewhat more distinct at the anal marginal half of the hindwing. $ above dark brown, 
hindwing somewhat lighter, forewing at the proximal margin scaled blue, behind the cell between the veins 
2 to 4 with a white spot extending farther distally between the veins 2 and 3. New Guinea (Dinawa)."
