EUCORMOPSIS. By Dr. K. Jordan. 
H. rhodope. Head, the black-spotted underside of the body and a spot at the base of the wings 
beneath red. Wings black, the veins of the forewing at least distally accompanied by brown streaks; hind- 
rhodope. wing from the base at least at the hindmargin blue, with or without a white spot or band. — rhodope Cr. 
(= flabelhcornis F.) (3g), distributed from North India to the Loo Choo Islands, is a large, long-winged 
form, in which the hindwing is blue at most to the end of the cell or very little beyond. Specimens with 
albimacula. a white spot are ab. albimacula Hamps. — The Palaearctic form (from West China) has verj'- little blue: 
nilgira. nigrina Jord. (vol. II, 3a). — nilgira Moore, from South India, is broad-winged, the forewing is paler in the 
middle especially beneath and here sometimes provided with whitish spots; the hindwing has in the ¥ a 
broad white band, which also above approaches close to the costal margin; in the cf the blue area reaches 
cometaris . to beyond the end of the cell. — cometaris Btlr., from Tenasserim and the Shan States, has narrower 
wings; the white band is present in cf and 2, but extends from behind only to or into the cell; the wing 
tahanica. only blue posteriorly. — tahanica subsp. nov. (3g) has shorter and proportionately broader wings than the 
preceding subspecies; margin of the forewing more rounded; hindwing in the ¥ (cf not known) with a white 
band, which does not extend to the costal margin and before the 2. radial does not project distally beyond 
the extremity of the cell; the veins from the base to the band and the hindmargin green-blue; hindwing 
beneath black, only at the veins in the basal area very slightly green. 1 ¥ from Mt. Tahan, in the eastern 
sumatrana. part of the Malay Peninsula. This subspecies connects the continental with the island forms. — sumatrana 
Rothsch. (— anobia Dohrn ) (4a). Hindwing in the cf pale blue from base far beyond the cell; in the ¥ on the 
contrary with a broad white band, the margin narrowly black; sometimes the white band occupies half the 
wing, whilst in other specimens it is wholly outside the cell; also in the cf traces of the band are often 
present on the under surface. Sumatra, at low elevations. — The race from the higher parts of Sumatra 
catobia. is catobia Dohrn; cf and ¥ almost alike, darker blue than the preceding form; in the ¥ a slight tinge of 
libelluloides. brown outside the cell as indication of the white band of the preceding form. — libelluloides H.-Sch. (= selene 
T Walk., vacillans Walk., albomacula Hamps. partirn) (4a) is similar to sumatrana, the hindwing of the cf above 
paler blue, cf and ¥ beneath and in the ¥ the hindwing above less blue; the white band of the ¥ outside the cell. 
lombokensis. Java. Flies early in the morning. — lombokensis Rothsch. is from Lombok; only 2 ¥¥ known. The black basal 
area of the forewing does not extend quite to the middle of the wing; basal area of the hindwing and both wings 
beneath more extended blue than in sumatrana; the white band rather sharply defined, the end of the cell white. — 
niasica. niasica Dolirn. ¥: the white band of the hindwing obsolescent, above only the central spots distinct. Nias. 
nivosa. H. nivosa Rothsch. (3g). Wings white, costal margin of the forewing brown-black, as are also the 
broad distal marginal band, which is intersected by pale vein-streaks, and a narrow marginal band on the 
hindwing. — Kina Balu, North Borneo. 
H. dolens. Collar and tip of the abdomen red. Wings white, margin of the forewing, a median 
band and the veins black, the white basal area partly washed over with black. Margin of the hindwing as 
in nivosa only moderately produced, the wing in the cf white, washed over with black, in the ¥ black, with 
dolens. a white band or spot before the margin. Celebes: Batjan. — dolens Druce (= chuna Stvinh.) (4a) has on 
the forewing just behind the middle a broad black band; the white markings variable, especially in the ¥. 
batjanensis. Celebes. — batjanensis subsp. nov. (4a), from Batjan, is smaller, the black band is much narrower and 
extends from the costal margin to only just beyond the cell. 
eurhodia. H. eurhodia spec. nov. (3 g). Body and antenna blue, median line of the irons, the occiput, the sides 
of the breast, as well as the sides, under surface and tip of the abdomen red; two rows of black spots on 
each side of the abdomen; last (outer) ventral segment produced into a point, as in the other species of Histia. 
Forewing above black like the upperside of the thorax, behind the middle with a straight yellow band. Hind¬ 
wing blue, costal margin and outer margin broadly black. Beneath the forewing proximally blue, the band 
broader than above; hindwing almost entirely blue. Margin of the hindwing torn in the only known specimen, 
consequently the shape of the wing cannot be accurately determined. — Manila; 1 ¥ in the British Museum. 
19. Genus: !EucoruiO]>sis gen. nov. 
¥: frons slightly convex, broader than long. Antenna pectinated from the base, the pectinations 
becoming gradually longer distall}-. Hindtarsus shorter than tibia. Costa of the forewing anteriorly with 
short veinlets; 1. and 2. subcostals free, 3.— 5. subcostals stalked, 3. subcostal branching off proximally, 
1. radial from the cell, the upper angle of the cell projecting very strongly, the lower angle short, pointed, 
2. median branching off from the cell somewhat more proximally than the 1. subcostal; in the hindwing 
the 1. radial anastomosed with the 2. subcostal, the cell very narrow between the 2. subcostal and the 
2. radial. — Malayan, 1 species. 
lampra. E. lampra spec. nov. (4 a). ¥: body beneath yellow-grey, above purple-brown, abdomen green, blue 
at the base, hindmargin of the head red. Forewing green-black, the veins, a very irregular median band 
and three spots before the apex pale brown; hindwing glossy blue, the margin narrowly black. Forewing 
beneath purple-brown, the base, a median band and three subapical spots cream-colour like the hindwing; 
on the latter a spot in the middle of the cell, a second placed more distally and before the costa produced
