NOTES ON AGRIADES CORIDON. 223 



No. 3. 



Both wings on right side small. 



Expanse of right forewing 15-2mm., left 16.6mm. 



Small groups of blue scales, most of them with rounded extremities 

 and accompanied by coarse bluish-white hair scales, dusted all over the 

 right forewing, most thickly near base and posterior margin. 



No blue scales on left forewing. No androconial scales found. 



Many blue scales grouped near anal angle of right hindwing ; 

 blue scales elsewhere symmetrical on the two sides. 



Underside of forewing ab. iiariaiensis [arcnata), with one spot 

 larger on right side than on left. 



Ovaries symmetrical and normal in size. No ova in lower part, 

 nor in common oviduct. Other organs all present and normal. No 

 trace of male structure present. 



No. 4. 



Both wings on left side small. 



Expanse of right forewing 16mm., left 15mm. 



Very numerous small patches of blue scales running oat to the 

 submarginal spots, and everywhere accompanied by the peculiar pale 

 blue hair scales. With a good lens the scattered groups of blue scales 

 and coarse bluish white hair scales, many with bifid extremities, were 

 seen to be sharply defined from the ordinary quadrifid brown scales 

 and fine whitish hairs of the other parts of the wing giving a very 

 peculiar efiect. 



Androconial scales fairly nuiaierous. 



Right forewing shows blue scales with quadrifid extremities near 

 base. 



There are a good many blue scales in both hindwings. Great 

 reduction of orange marginal spots of left hindwing. 



Underside shows larger spots with one extra spot on the right 

 forewing. 



All internal female organs present and normal. No trace of male 

 organs seen. Chitinous armature of normal female type. No trace of 

 male armature. 



No. 5. 



Both wings on left side small. 



Expanse of right forewing 16-9mm., left 14-9mm. 



The ground colour is pale brown, and so rather hides the extent of 

 blue scaling. Blue scales, single or in sm^all groups, are diffused all 

 over left fore- and hindwings, and are accompanied by the coarse pale 

 blue hair scales, even beyond central spot. The blue scales are chiefly 

 rounded in forewing, but quadrifid in hindwing. No blue scales on 

 right side except at extreme base of hindwing. 



Androconial scales plentiful. 



Underside : All spots large in right forewing and two additional 

 spots present. 



Ovaries normal in size and symmetrical. Ova present in common 

 oviduct. Ductus seminalis entirel}- absent. Eeceptaculum seminis 

 normal. Left cement gland smaller than right and shrunken in ap- 

 pearance. Bursa copulatrix abnormal. The first wide portion is 

 present and normal in structure, but there is no trace of the long thin
