Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENID.E. 573 CYANIRIS LUGRA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 5c?.) o* • Allied to C. placida, de Nicev., much smaller. Upperside uniform dull greyish silvery blue, margins more narrowly black, cilia greyish. Underside pale brownish grey, with the spots and markings arranged as in C. placida, but with the exception of two on the costa and the marginal row, also on the hind wing, which are blackish, of a dull brownish grey, but slightly darker than the ground-colour. Expanse 1 ^ inch. Kina Balu {Waterstr.). Mus. Staud. and Druce. This is a small, dull-coloured butterfly, which appears to be distinct from any described. I have not seen the female. Below will be found described another species which I believe to be new'. CYANIRIS SELMA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 10 d •) o*. Allied to C. ccelestina, Kollar. Upperside pale shining silvery blue, brighter and more shining than in that species ; black apical border slightly wider. Underside: spots arranged as in C. ccelestina, with the addition of faint marginal rows of spots which are most conspicuous in the hind wing. The two black spots close to the costal margin on the hind wing, which in C. ccelestina are usually not more noticeable than the other spots on tbe wing, are in this species larger and more conspicuous than any others. The marginal row of spots on the hind wing shows through to the upper surface. Cilia shorter. Expanse ly1^ inch. Kina Balu (Waterstr.). Type Mus. Staud. C. selma should be easily distinguished from C. ccelestina by its brighter blue upperside. I have not seen the female. CYANIRIS STROPHIS, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 4 d.) d . Upperside deep lavender-blue, colour of C. placida, which it closely resembles, having, however, narrower and more even black margins. The underside exactly as in C. dilectissima, mihi, but the spots and markings not quite so deeply black. Expanse ly^- inch. 1 CYANIRIS FHUSTE, sp. n. (Plate X X X I V . fig. 17 d •) Upperside dull violaceous blue, rather greyer than C. placida, which it resembles on the upperside, with rather broader black borders. Underside greyish white, with a linear dark streak closing the cell of each wing, a very faint, scarcely perceptible zigzag line crossing the wings beyond the middle, then a darker submarginal line composed of crescent-shaped marks enclosing a marginal row of dark spots common to both wings and darkest towards anal angle of hind wing ; a very fine anteciliary dark line to both wings. Cilia grey, with dark spots at the termination of the nervules. Expanse If inch. Hab. Dili (W. Doherty). Type Mus. Druce. This is not the C. duponchcllii, Godt., which we have also from Dili, obtained by Mr. Doherty, and which is close to C. puspa ou the upperside, and has the lower spot of the discal series on the fore wing below enlarged into a considerable blotch. |
