de Nicéville, from another unique example taken near Shillong ; anda third, Z. wmdriel, 
Doherty, also from a unique male taken in Burma. Of the two remaining species, Z. fischeri, 
Eversmann, occurs in S.-E. Russia, the Ural, the Altai Mountains, China, and Corea, 
and very closely resembles 2. 4a/a; and £. argiades, Pallas, is violet-blue above in the male 
with an exterior black border, whitish cilia, and some marginal black spots to the hindwing. 
On the underside it is marked very much like the true Zycene, having a disco-cellular mark, a 
discal series of spots and marginal lunular fascize on both wings, as in the species of that genus. 
Its chief characteristic, however, is a submarginal orange fascia on the hindwing below ; this 
often is very much reduced, sometimes absent altogether. The marginal black spots of the 
hindwing are often spangled with metallic silvery scales. The female is frequently entirely 
smoky-black above, sometimes with much blue on the base and disc of the wings, According to 
my views, &. argiades occurs in North America, in Europe, almost throughout Asia, the Malay 
archipelago, and in Australia, It is probably the most widely-ranging species of the family. 
Eey to the Indian species of Evores.
