a Group of Lycaenid Butterflies. 
Plate LVI. Fig. 21. Z. ossa, mounted in same manner as fig. 17 so 
as to be comparable. 
22. Z. lysimon, from Natal.

Note in figs. 31 and 32 how the dorsal hooks tend to break short 
off. 
Plate LIX. Fig. 33. Z. gaika (Kutch). 
34. Z. lahradus, var. sangra (Nicobars). 
35. Z. gaika (Ceylon) (enlarged x 45, all others 
are x 35). 
Note the different form of dorsal hooks from all preceding figures 
and the very remarkable oedeagus with two spines, the upper (in 
plate) containing a very remarkable serrate process, apparently leally 
in a groove of its underside, the lower looks as if articulated, and is 
probably a spine of the eversible membrane, or its articulation may 
enable it to close on the upper one, if that is grooved, and so form a 
single sharp point. I hazard this as the best guess as to the real 
structure of this remarkable organ that I can make. 
Fig. 36. A. atrigemmata (specimen in B. M.). 
Plate LX. Fig. 37. A. panagaea. 
38. A. stellata (B.E. Africa). 
Note the great size and breadth of the dorsal and lateral portion of 
the girdle ; their overlapping somewhat confuses the preparation. 
Fig. 39. A. atrigemmata. 
Compare figs. 36 and 39 with fig. 19 as regards the distal finger- 
like process of the ring and the sharp angle on its proximal edge. 
The latter is even more notable in 
Fig. 40. A. hicida.
