" In many essential points, the form of the palpi and antennae, the 

 peculiarities of the feet, &c., this insect agrees with the character 

 of the genus Polyommatus, but its habit and aspect are very peculiar : 

 this is owing to the great length and lateral expansion of the wings, 

 to their comparative narrowness, and to their being regularly ellip- 

 tical and rounded in the anal region." — (Horsfield, Catal.) 



"This insect has also naked eyes, scaly palpi, and spurless fore 

 tibiae, but the wings have the veins arranged in the ordinary manner, 

 and the ungues and their appeudages are as smaU and inconspicuous 

 as in the genus Lyccena.''^ — ("Westwood, Diurn. Lep.)
