them in Chilades, as I am unable to bring myself to raise 
genera on the male appendages only. 
Having thus given a summary of the position as I now 
find it, it only remains to describe and figure the specimens, 
so as to make the information available for collectors 
generally. 
Chilades galba, Led. 
6. Both wings above darkish bright blue with the termen broadly 
brown, in each wing near the anal angle of the secondaries there is 
a trace of a marginal series of three or four dark spots. Under- 
surface creamy grey with spots edged with white. Primaries with 
spots slightly darker than the ground edged with white, a narrow 
spot closing the cell, a series of six more or less confluent spots well 
beyond the cell, a double series of crescent-shaped termina! spots. 
Secondaries with a series of three black basal spots and one black 
subcostal encircled with white, the latter one being well beyond 
the middle of the costa and lying between veins 7 and 8; there are 
also two black spots at the anal angle edged with bright greenish 
metallic scales; the other spots are only slightly darker than the 
ground and are edged with white, one of which closes the cell; a series 
of seven irregularly placed spots beyond the cell, the first being 
placed below and slightly beyond the black subcostal spot, the 
second far out detached from the first but touching the third which 
is shifted slightly inwards, fourth very small, its outer white edging 
almost confluent with the inner white edging of the third, fifth 
right in again, sixth somewhat outwards, seventh right in, detached 
from the sixth and placed on the inner margin, a subterminal series 
of crescentic marks followed by a series of terminal spots. Between 
the irregular series and the crescentic marks the ground is more or 
less suffused white. 
The genitalia as previously referred to are very special- 
ised. The clasps are long and very broad for the apical 
half, gradually increasing in width from their origin, the 
upper margin being slightly arched and the lower margin 
waved; the apex itself is evenly excavated out for nearly 
all the front edge, and at the upper apex is bent round to 
form a long hook. The girdle is moderately upright, very 
narrow at first, and then expanding somewhat rapidly to 
its fusion with the tegumen, which is very deeply bifid, 
its two arms being very narrow, narrower even than the 
falces that are attached high up to them; these have a 
sharp shortly curved hook at the extremity. The fulcrum
