This Adolias may be at once distinguished from its allies 

 by the violet inner half of the external ai-ea of the hind- 

 wings ; in A. Ramada it is l)riglit blue, and in A. Salia 

 green : the close resemblance which the female bears to 

 Tanciecia Pulaiara is very striking ; indeed, before I dis- 

 covered the structural dilfei-ences between Adolias and 

 Tanaecia, the two insects were united as one species in our 

 Collection.
