( “elit ) ) 
generally crenate, but sometimes quite even; with them are 
to be found a few blue scales of two patterns, the smaller one 
very similar to the brown one but rather longer and rounded 
at the base, the other is twice the length, slightly narrower, 
even in width with a tricrenate apex; the costa consists of 
entirely brown scales, those near the base are similar to the 
basal brown ones but rapidly change to a pattern having a 
somewhat cone-shaped even apex, these again give place to 
an uneven or lopsided scale, the outer half of which is more 
or less evenly pear-shaped, whilst the inner half has the base 
slightly excised as also the apex, but this latter is excised below 
the apex so as to form a squarish shoulder laterally, these 
continue up to the postmedian area where they are replaced 
by a longer narrower scale of even width with dentate apices ; 
the costa itself has an edging of a single line of very smooth 
longish scales, slightly wider in the middle, but evenly termin- 
ated both fore and aft, and with them are mixed not only the 
hair-like fringe but also a scale that may be a modification 
of the fan-like fringe, viz. a long, narrow, even tube, bluntly 
terminated but very irregular in width, being very narrow 
with an almost pointed extremity; in the subcostal area the 
basal and the postmedian patterns are mixed together, and with 
them there is a large admixture of the blue cell scales which 
predominate as that area is approached; these blue cell 
scales are oblong with truncate apices that are decidedly 
crenate, all the blue scales being of this pattern, those on the 
abdominal fold are long, broad, of even width, very slightly 
reduced at the evenly truncate apex; the terminal wing 
scales call for no special remark. 
In Hveres argiades again certain differences are noticeable; 
the costal cable is composed entirely of long, thickish, hair- 
like scales (thickish in comparison with the somewhat colour- 
less hair-like scales that are found in the basal and antemedian 
areas of most Plebevinae); they are brown, and mixed with 
them are a certain number of simple fringe scales, these be- 
coming predominant towards the apex. The blue scales 
throughout the wing are of three patterns, a very broad 
shortish one that tapers slightly from the base and has a 
very irregular serrated apex; this is the predominant one and
