  The 
  brilliant 
  metallic 
  blue 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  recalls 
  the 
  similar 
  coloration 
  of 
  /. 
  Plato, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  

   quite 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  sj^ecies, 
  not 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  much 
  larger 
  extent 
  of 
  the 
  blue 
  coloration, 
  but 
  

   in 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  wings, 
  which 
  are 
  comparatively 
  broader, 
  and 
  less 
  elongate.
