its mouth. Above blue with purple sheen, both wings with a dark bordei', which reaches posteriori}- on the 

 hindwing to the middle of the wing; underside with dark spots, wliich partly have pale edges. The prin- 

 cipal difference between Indian and Chinese specimens appears to be the al)sence from Palaearctic individuals 

 of the green sheen in the basal area of the wings, which characterizes the Indian cf cr'. 



11. Genus: Calloplirys Billh. 



This genus contains in the Old World only a single species, which occurs throughout Europe, 

 North Asia and North Africa, and is one the butterflies which extend farthest north. There are several 

 representatives in North America, whose specific distinctness, however, is not in every case beyond doubt. 

 Head small, moderately broad, frons white, slightly convex, with a small tuft of hairs on the vertex. Eyes 

 hairy, edged with silvery white in front. Antennae hardly half as long as the costal margin, rather thick, 

 but brittle, ringed with white, beneath white before the black club, the latter with orange tip. Palpi delicate, 

 shorter than the head. Forewing entire, with the hind angle almost 90", already broad near the base, the 

 costa being strongly arched close to the base; outer margin of hindwing somewhat dentate, the anal angle 

 produced into a small lobe, which is curved outward when the wings are closed. Caterpillar of the usual 

 woodlouse-shape, minutely and sparsely hairy, green with a bright longitudinal stripe along the back and 

 another at the sides. Pupa very obtuse, marmorated with brown, bearing minute hairs. The butterflies 

 have two broods in warmer locaUties.

 below the costa in the centre. Beneath green, with some white dots on the disc of the hindwing. In ab.

 which is even continued on to the forewing. Numerous modifications in the degree of completeness or punctata.

 the largest European specimens, the upperside darker, the underside deeper green. From Saisan and Lepsa; 

 as true rubi also occurs in these localities, suaeeola ma}' turn out to be the summer-brood. — There occur, 

 moreover, a number of individual varieties; for instance, specimens with the underside brown instead of 

 green, ?? with a reddish yellow discal spot on the forewing above (Blacuiee), etc. Egg depressed , green, 

 reticulate. Larva dark green, with a black-edged yellow dorsal line accompanied by pale spots, and with 

 a yellowish side-line. It feeds in June and the autumn particularly on Papilionaceae, such as Sarotiiamnus, 

 Genista, Gytisus, but also on many other plants, as oak, Vaccinium, Sedum, etc. It often bores deep into 

 the flowers of Genista. Pupa short, much rounded; resembling a small bean, immovable, but nevertheless 

 producing a feeble noise, which Kleemann calls creaking, Schilde twittering or chirping. The butterflies 

 occur from April into July and in warmer districts of the plains again in July and August, the two broods 

 being almost continuous, for instance at Darmstadt. They are very plentiful in most places and always rest 

 with closed wings on shrubs and green twigs of Genista; they are not shy, the spring-specimens being 

 particularly fond of the flowers of Potentilla. 



12. Genus: ^atsiima ^^nrr. 



This genus, containing half a dozen species which are nearly all Palaearctic, agrees closely with 

 the preceding in all details. Head small and delicate, with very large hftiry eyes. Palpi erect, M'ith thin 

 end-segment, the underside being long-hairy. Antennae almost half the length of the forewfng, thin and 

 brittle, ringed with white, rather suddenly incrassate to form a long black club. Forewing broad near the 

 base, the costal margin being strongly curved close to the base and the distal margin straight; subcostal 

 3-branched. Hindwing without tail, the costal margin short and straight, the anal angle produced into a 

 lobe which is bent inwards when at rest, forming a broad and deep fold which envelopes the abdomen. 

 Otherwise neuration and scent-patch as in (■allophri/s. — Small quick butterflies, with the upperside uni- 

 formly dark, partly dusted with blue or lead-colour, and the underside cloudy. They occur in the extreme 

 east of the Region, from the Altai, Tibet and West China to Amurland and Japan, flying early in spring. 

 They settle on projecting twigs of isolated small trees or bushes, from which point of vantage they attack
