110 L. de Niceville— Species of the genus Eurytela. [June, 
Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1869, p. 331, n. 2; E. stephensii, Boisduval, Faun. Ent. 
Madagasc., p. 55, n. 2, female (1833). 
Habitat: -( Boisduval ); Java (Wallace); ? Fort Steelman. 
Shan States ( Manders) ; ? Karen Hills ; ? Singmo, Shan States (Elwes) ; 
Katha, Meple (April), Burma; 1ST.-E. Sumatra; Preanger, Java (colls, 
de Niceville and Watson). 
The male of this species is characterised on the upperside of both 
wings by its rich dark blue coloration, with a very broad submarginal 
black band to the hind wing. The female, of which I possess a single 
example only from Sumatra, has the paler markings of the upperside 
of a somewhat dark shade of ochreous. I have not access to the 
original description of this species, so cannot say if Dr. Boisduval 
characterised it from Javan specimens or not; I presume so, however, 
as Dr. Wallace gives Java as the sole habitat of the species, and its 
name would indicate that it is a Javan species, as Dr. Thomas Horsfield’s 
researches in the fauna of that island have a world-wide reputation. 
4. Eurytela glaucescens, n. sp. 
E. horsfieldii, de Niceville (part, nee Boisduval), Butt, of India, vol. ii, p. 12, 
n. 302 (1886). 
Habitat : Papun (November and December), Methalauk near Papun 
(November), Karen Hills, 500-1500 ft. (December), Toungu (December), 
Meple (October and December), all in Burma ; Central Java, 1,500 feet 
{colls, de Niceville and Watson). 
The male of this species may be known from the same sex of 
E. horsfieldii , Boisduval, by its very much duller coloration on the upper- 
side, being of an almost plumbeous or glaucous tint instead of a rich 
indigo-blue ; and it does not possess a broad submarginal black band to 
the hindwing, and the submarginal black line on the forewing also 
is obsolete. The female (of which I have access to three specimens) 
is in two examples from Papun of a more luteous shade on the upper- 
side than in my single Sumatran example of E. horsfieldii , in another 
Papun example the shade of colour of the upperside is very dark 
and might be described as dull ferruginous, with the apical portion alone 
of the broad discal band common to both w T ings luteous on the forewing.

The male of this species agrees with the form which I have con-
