369. Alcidis aruus Feld. 



Alculis anum Felder, lieise Nuvam ii. pt. ii. pi. 121. f. 1 (1875) (Aru Islds.). 



The type of A. aruus Feld. is a ? collected by Lorqniii, and agrees well with 

 tlie (S and smaller ? collected by Dr. Tanern. The large ? sent by Dr. Tauern is 

 very distinct, and might even be considered a good species if I had not received 

 some cJ c? among Dr. Wollaston's Snow Mts. collection, one of which is identical 

 with this Misol 5 , while others are more or less intermediate between the latter 

 and a/'iii/s. A ? without locality in the. Felder collection agrees entirely with this 

 larger Misol ? . 



This ? differs from typical ? aruus in its much larger size, in the blue-black, 

 not green-black, ground colour, and in the faseii of the forewing and disc of hind- 

 wing being clear tunjuoisc-blue, not strongly suffused with golden-green. I propose 

 for this insect the name ab coerulea a1). nov.
