4G Mr. G. T. Bet^l^ie-Baker’s Revision of the 
brown with markings very similar to those in larydas, Cram., but 
smaller. 
9. Dull grey with a bluish scaling at the extreme base of both 
wings. Secondaries with a terminal row of small spots in a lighter 
ground. The colour of the upperside varies somewhat; in some it 
is a full-toned lilacine, in others very pale, and in others, viz. the 
type, somewhat cupreous. In some specimens the dark border is 
decidedly wide, but generally it is only linear. 
The species can be separated easily from L. larydas, 
Cram., its nearest ally, by the colour of the upperside and 
by the pale colour of the underside.

Genitalia. —Harpago very broad, roughly oval for its basal two- 
thirds, erect the apical third, spread out into a hood whose 
two front edges are strongly serrated, the lowest tooth being the 
largest, below which is a deep circular excavation, the lower edge of 
which is produced into a long, blunt, horn-like process. The cingula 
is heavily developed, broad from its origin, tapering gradually and 
more widely to the tegumen ; the basal hind extremity is produced 
backwards into an egg-shaped cavity. Tegumen very highly exca¬ 
vated at its front apex and slightly at its back, the narrow neck 
rising into a high, saddle-like process; the cheeks are evenly 
rounded in front, broad and well developed, with the falces long and 
strong, highly curved some little distance up from their sockets ; the 
furca is curved backwards with the arms expanding broadly for half 
their length, then diminishing to a point. Penis sheath very broad 
for the basal three-quarters, then suddenly reduced with a some¬ 
what trumpet-shaped orifice. Both the cheeks of the tegumen and 
the end of the clasps are furnished with longish fine hairs.

. Both wings blackish, with the cell and below vein 4 brilliant 
lustrous purple blue ; in the secondaries there is a broad black dash 
in the lower radial area. The underside of both wings is dark 
brown with the pattern marked out by broad white lines. Primaries 
with a large wedge-sliaped mark, a broken broad stripe at the end of
