of a filth species, that is I think probably undescribed and 

 probably from India.* Mr. Druce possesses a better specimen 

 of the same species from Java. It closely resembles the 

 previous four. Some forms of Zizera maha approach the group 

 very noaily. 



^ " I may ti\ke this opportunity to correct some ambiguities 

 in my notes on Botltrla chennellii and Notarihrinus hliighami 

 already referred to. I mention there that B. chennellii is 

 ZizerctAiVe and not a Cyaniris. 



" Moore's genus Zizera by description refers to an Eastern 

 group of Celastrinids, of which we may take maha as type. 

 But he specified Cnpido ahns (ininmms) as type. Alsus does 

 not, however, agree with his definitions of the genus, and is in 

 fact an Ever id. Bothria chemiellii agree with C. ahus, and 

 is also an Everid. 



" The Everids have the costal and sub-costal veins actually 

 coinciding for some distance. Zizera (with maha as type, and 

 by Moore's definition) has them nearly parallel and touching 

 (first sub-costal ' slightly touching the costal nervui-e near its 

 end.' Moore). 



" I had not worked this out when I wrote my notes on B. 

 chennellii. This resulted in my uncertain note as to whether 

 Zizera was Cyanirid or Everid. My picture of Zizera was of 

 the neuration of C. miahaus and the appendages of the true 

 Indian forms, actually a non-existent absurdity. 



"1 have added to the group two species of Everes. They are 

 of smaller size and possess tails, but these circumstances do 

 not obscure their close resemblance to the main species. These 

 two specimens are from Moore's series of E. dipora, one is 

 a form of Everes aryiades, the other is E. dijwra. This may 

 be called var, diporides, Moore's type specimen is dipora and 

 not diporides. This mixture of species may to some extent 

 explain why de Niceville, Elwes and others regarded E. dipora 

 as merely a form of E. aryiades. I believe Mr. Bethune- 



* This species is possiljly entitleil to a new genus, but it may for the 

 present be placed in Zizera {maha, not alsus, as tyi)e). I cannot identify 

 it with any species of that genus and so venture to call it dryina (5pvs = 

 Diucc). it is 30 mm. in expanse, of a rather purple blue (like chennellii 

 or aikkiijia) with a very broad, dark border. I would, however, especially 

 define it as possessing the ancillary appendages figured (PI. I>).
