being produced into a strong tooth. The cingula is also similar to 
Holland’s species, hut broader and rather shorter ; the cheeks of the 
tegumen and the tegumen as a whole are not developed very fully ; 
the dorsal front apex is well excavated, and the cheeks are gradually 
and evenly rounded on their front edge; the falces are strongly 
developed, and well though evenly curved ; the furca is not large, 
the arms curved backwards being but moderately long. Penis sheath 
very broadly developed for its hinder two-thirds, gradually rising to 
its highest point, where it is suddenly reduced in front to a broadish 
even tube for its front third. The front edge of the cheeks of the 
tegumen is well furnished with hairs, the front edge of the harpagines 
having a smaller supply.

A species closely allied to the preceding one but separable at once 
by the fact that nearly all the spots of the undersurface pattern are 
more or less filled in with vivid red; the costa is also finely of the 
same colour. The female is bluish in both wings ; primaries with 
costa and termen very broadly brown, apex brown to the cell; 
secondaries with costa brown to the cell and vein 6; termen broadly 
brown with a bluish interrupted dividing line ; a black spot at the 
anal angle with a second above it internally edged with orange red. 
Undersurface : both wings very pale greyish brown with the markings 
as in the male but larger.

Genitalia .—Harpago broad, evenly curved above and below, the 
curve of the upper edge being very bold; about a third from the 
front upper apex is a curious sqiiare process, unique so far as I am 
aware in the genus, consisting of a strong, short tooth on each side 
of the harpago, joined by a chitinous bar ; the upper and lower front 
extremities are each produced into a strong tooth. Cingula with the 
girdle strongly developed ; the lower extremity produced well back 
into a curved hook-like projection. Tegumen raised at its hind 
dorsal apex, highly excavated at its front dorsal edge, the cheeks 
being unevenly rounded off. The falces are very strong and broad, 
rising directly from the socket in an even curve upwards. Furca 
moderately long, with narrowish arms slightly curved backwards. 
Penis sheath of moderately even width throughout, narrow with the
