183. Hypochrysops pretiosus s]i. nov. 

 YE\i\LE.—Up/'erskk resembles the same sex of H. thesaurus and H. protogenes. 



It differs from tlie former in tbe blue area being more restricted, and from the 

 latter only in the shape of the wings, which are more rounded. 



Underside: both wings darker than either of those species, anterior wings 

 more extensively irrorated with grey scales in the area on the disc, in which is 

 situate a row of fulvous lunules, which in H. protoyenes are situate nearer the 

 outer margin and extend to the costal margin in a line parallel with it ; in 

 U. pretiosus these lunules towards the apex curve inwardly and do not extend 

 beyond the upper discoidal nervnle, the fnlvous band in the cell is darker, and 

 beyond the end of the cell is a broad dark bar, the metallic spots in the submarginal 

 row are larger, tipped internally with black spots with fulvous lines beyond, those 

 between the median nervules being much the largest. Ou the posterior wings 

 the bars across the wings are bright ochraceous, instead of brick red as in 

 B. prototienes, the metallic lines and spots are much wider, the space between 

 the second and third ochraceous bars which cross the cell being entirely 

 metallic, at the end of the cell are two very conspicuous broad black bars. 



Expanse of wings: 1^ inch. 



Hah. Korrido. 



Two specimens, both females. 



184. Hypochrysops hermogenes sp. nov. 



IslM^'E-.— Upperside: dull jiurplc, the costal and apical area of the anterior 

 wings broadly, and the outer margins of both wings less broadly brownish black. 

 Underside : both wings dull ashy brown, anterior wings with an ochraceous band 

 traversing the npperside of the cell from the base to a little beyond it, when 

 it bends downwards at right angles to the upper median nervule, a blunt ochraceous 

 spur from this bar crosses the cell at about its middle, the baud and spurs are 

 bordered on each side by metallic greenish blue lines, the disc is crossed beyond 

 its middle from the costa, near the ajiex, to the lowest median nervule by a row 

 of ochraceous bars, there is a submarginal row of metallic sjiots surrounded by 

 ochraceous rings and tipped internally with black, several metallic spots on the 

 costa towards the apex. Posterior wings crossed by five rufous nearly parallel 

 bars margined by metallic lines, a submarginal row of metallic oblong spots 

 capjied with black and witli narrow ochraceous lines inside, a narrow ochraceous 

 baud on the margin. 



Expanse of wings: H inch. 



In the arrangement of the bars on the underside of the posterior wings there 

 is some resemblance to H. iiarcissm Feld., liut in that species the bars are more 

 or less broken up into spots, and in other res]>ccts If. hermogenes is ijuite 

 different. 



1 So. Hypochrysops calliphon sp. nov. 



Male.— Uppe/side : botii wings pale blue. Anterior wings with the costal 



margin, apex, and outer margin broiidly dark brown ; the blue area extends over 



the cell and the inner two-thirds of the wings, at the upper end of the cell it 



extends obli<inely across the wings to the lowest median nervule. Posterior
