insect. 
cyanea. L. cyanea Hmps. (18d). Forewing deep purplish brown; all the lines and markings indicated diffusely

ment longer and not so stout, the terminal varying in length, slightly porrect, smooth; the dorsum 
tufted, laterally fringed with hair. Type Pareuplexia chalybeata Moore. 
Sect. I. Terminal segment of palpi long. 
chalybeata. P. chalybeata Moore ( speetabilis Pouj.) (Vol. 3, pi. 42b). Forewing brown, suffused with darker, 
thickly sprinkled with blue scales, especially on the veins; inner and outer lines deep brown, edged conversely 
with silvery blue, the outer strongly dentate externally on the veins, and followed by a narrow paler space;

reniform with dark blue-speckled centre and rufous annulus, broader externally; subterminal line blue grey 
on a deep brown band; terminal area purplish grey; terminal lunules black; hindwing brownish fuscous, 
with darker subterminal band edged by a bluish grey line. Sikkim; the Khasia Hills, Assam; also in , 
W. China. 
Sect. II. Terminal segment of palpi much shorter. 
pallidi- P. pallidiniargo Warr. (Vol. 3, pi. 42 b). Like chalybeata Moore, of which it has been considered a 
margo. f orm ; the marginal area broadly blue grey or bluish white; distinguished by the shorter terminal seg¬ 
ment of palpi. Sikkim.

ferruginous costal streak widening at apex; veins dotted with black and blue scales; inner and outer lines 
fulvous red; the inner angled outwards on subcostal vein, then running inwards, broadly excurved above and 
below vein 1, edged with bluish scales; outer line narrower, inwardly edged with yellow ochreous, angled 
outwards at vein 6, and less strongly on vein 4 and the submedian fold, below which it becomes more 
oblique; submarginal line rufous ochreous, irregularly crenulate, from close to apex to before anal angle, 
touching outer line on the fold; claviform stigma brown sprinkled with blue, with deep brown outline; orbi¬ 
cular and reniform also brown sprinkled with blue at centre, with bright rufous ochreous annuli; the 
orbicular very elongate, the reniform conversely oblique and produced above, externally indented, and pro¬ 
duced narrowly backwards along median vein to touch orbicular; terminal area leaden brown, blue-sprinkled; 
terminal lunules deep brown; fringe deep brown, with a pale yellow basal line; hindwing olive brown 
with a crenulate black terminal line; fringe brown, with yellow basal line and white tips. 1 $ in Tring
