ai8 LYCAENIDA. HORAGA. 
anterior portion narrow and outwardly slightly hooked ; the ground-colour beyond the white 
patch increasingly to the costa fuscous ; inner angle and margin pale. Hindwing with the 
outwardly-diffused discal band outwardly bordered by a pale fuscous fascia, widest at the costa 
and obsolete at the third median nervule. Otherwise as in H. albimacula,” 
“ Described from two males and three females collected by the late Mr. A. R. de Roep- 
storff, and now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, and another pair taken by Mr. R. Wimberley 
in my own collection.” (de Nicéville, 1. c.) 
The figure shews both sides of the type male specimen from the South Andaman Isles 
in my collection.

Diurn. Lep., Lycenide, pp. 34, 40, n. 24, pl. xiv, figs. 32, 33, ade (1863). 
HABITAT: Moulmein. 
EXPANSE: I'I to 1°3 inches. 
DESCRIPTION: “Allied to A. onyx, Moore. MALE. UPPERSIDE, forewing differs in 
having a smaller and more trilobate-formed white discal spot. UNDERSIDE, both wings of a 
much brighter ochreous colour. Forewing with the discal band only half the width of that 
in HZ. onyx, and does not extend above the subcostal nervure. /7indzing with the band narrower, 
regular, and of uniform width, anal and two subanal spots large. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, 
both wings paler. UNDERSIDE, 40th wings also of the same brighter colour, and the band 
similar to that of the male.” 
“ The #. syrinx of Felder is an Amboina species.” (AZoore, 1. c.) 
I have never seen this species, and from Mr. Hewitson’s figure of it can discover no cha- 
racter by which to separate it from WZ. s¢kkima, Moore, except that the discal band on the 
underside of the forewing is a little narrower, and of the hindwing somewhat broader,

HasitaT: Sikkim, Bhutan, Khasi Hills, 
EXPANSE : I'2 to 1°4 inches. 
DESCRIPTION: ‘“* MALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings differ from H. onyx, Moore, in the lower 
basal and discal areas being of a darker blue tint. Forewing with the discal white spot 
intermediate in size. UNDERSIDE, Joh wings of a slightly brighter ochreous tint than in 
H. syrinx, [as figured by] Hewitson, [= /. moulmeina, Moore]. Forewing with the discal band 
somewhat broader. Hindwing with the band very much narrower, being about the same width 
as in H. viola, Moore.” (Moore, 1.c.) FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings differ from the male 
in the blue areas being duller and of a more purple shade. Forewing with the discal white patch 
larger. UNDERSIDE, doth wings bright ochreous as in the male, the white discal band rather 
wider. 
Mr. Otto Miller possesses three males and five females of this species, two of which were 
taken in July and August, and one in October, and I possess seven males and one female, also 
from Sikkim, as well as a male from the Khasi Hills, the latter taken by the Rev. Walter 
A. Hamilton. In the Indian Museum, Calcutta, isa single male from Bhutan. It agrees 
with ZH. viola, Moore, and differs from HZ. ovyx, Moore, in the discal white patch on the under- 
side of the forewing not reaching the costa; its bright ochreous coloration below is also very 
distinctive, I described this species independently, but gave it no name,* as I considered 
* “Mave. Uprersipe, oth wings black. Forewing with the discal white spot small and distinctly indented 
at the nervules, outwardly thrice, inwardly twice ; below the median nervure basally cyaneous-blue. /ind-

ochreous. /orewing with the discal spot divided posteriorly by a brownish line, the spot not quite reaching 
the subcostal nervure. A/indwing with the discal band somewhat narrow, white, inwardly nearly straight
