Fruhstorfer distinguishes the E. J. specimens as subspecies Chura from 

 those of W. J. I cannot, however, find the differences which he gives, in m\' 

 specimens from E. J. and W. J. ; they must be individual variations, not con- 

 nected with a particular district. 



W. J. Buitenzorg (265); Tjampea (160); Prayangan mts. ; Soukaboumi 

 (650) (Fruhstorfer) ; vicinity of the Pelabouan Ratou or VVijnkoopsbay and 

 the Tjiletou or Sandbay on the south coast (i 50) ; Province of Krawang (Muller). 



C. J. Nousa Kambangan on the sea shore of the south coast (Jacobsonj. 



E. J. Lawang (500) ; province of Pasourouan. 



For the remarkable difference of colour between the sexes of this species, 

 see the Introduction. 



I found the larva once on a plant, the name of which I do not know. 

 It was covered with two rows of lumps, one subdorsal and one on the edge 

 of the abdomen, these lumps were, however, absent from the first and anal 

 segments ; from each lump there protruded 4 short stiff black hairs. The colour 

 was yellowish white mixed with much handsome dark blue. It changed into 

 a large fat pupa, but of the usual Lycaenid form, attached to a leaf, dark 

 brown, but the back almost entirely ochre. On the abdomen there are many 

 tufts of stiff short hairs.
