Explanation of Plate A. 



Fig. 1. Bothria chennellii. 



„ 2. Celastrina argiohcs, var. bothrioides, sent to me as 

 chennellii. 



„ 3. Celastrina argiohis, war. sikkima {Moore). From a specimen 

 labelled jynteana by Moore. 



„ 4. Notarthrinus binghami. From some different quality in 

 the colours, the photographs show a more marked differ- 

 ence between this and Fig. 1 than appears in the speci- 

 mens. Fig. 1 is from a well-marked dark specimen. 



„ 5. Celastrina argiolus, var. sikMma (Moore). 



„ 6. „ limbatus, var. jynteana (Moore). 



„ 7. Everes dipora. E. argiades, var. diporides, is indis- 

 tinguishable on the upper side. 



„ 8. Celastrina argiolus, var. hugelii. This may be taken as the 

 more normal form, of which Figs. 2, 3, 5, 10 and 12 are 

 local races. 



„ 9. Celastrina Umbatus, normal form of which jynteana 

 (Fig. 6) is a variety. 



„ 10. Celastrina argiolus, var. allocgeruleoides (Tutt's "Brit. 

 Lep.," vol. ix, p. 404). 



„ 11. Celastrina puspa, from the same locality as Fig. 12. 



„ 12. „ argiolus, var. puspargiohis. Blue and whites 



being for the camera almost identical, the white patches 

 on Figs. 10, 11 and 12 do not appear in the photographs. 



The specimens 11 and 12 were collected in Assam (or Simla) by 

 Col. E. E. Johnson, and given to me (with others) in papers by 

 Col. Bingham.
