Transitions occur between the above forms. The only 

 otlier cJ in the series has the fore-wing band much narrowed 

 and only extending to vein 2. In a $ it is still more re- 

 duced and only faintly indicated as far as the celb Another 

 $ has the band twice as wide as in the typical form.

(^ . Upperside. — Fore wing bhick faintly shot with deep 

 blue. Base metallic greenish blue, with a > -shaped inden- 

 tation of the ground-colour. Hind wing witii basal half to 

 end of cell metallic greenish blue^ distal half shot with deep 

 blue; 



Underside of fore wing black faintly shot with deep blue. 

 Base metallic greenish blue, extending to near end of cell as 

 far as vein 3. Hind wing black faintly shot with deep blue. 

 At base a metallic greenish-blue costal streak, a similar 

 streak along lower margin of cell on each side of median 3 

 a dark blue streak along inner margin. A subapical black 

 patch of short hair or androconia, the hairs of which are 

 dii-ected outwardly. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen metallic greenish blue ; abdo- 

 men black below. Legs metallic greenish blue on outer side. 

 Sexes similar, ? without the hairy patch on hind wing

Tliis species seems nearly allied to callima^ Roth. & Jord,, 

 and which has also the patch of modified scales on the hind 

 wing below. Rothschild and Jordan, in the Deutsch. Ent. 

 Zeit. 1907, pp. 19I-5, describe a similar structure in lamprimd, 

 and note that in euglennia, a very similar-looking species, 

 it is absent. Several other species of the genus exhibit the 

 same characteristic. 



HJiliom'a weiskei ruhi'difuscia, subsp. n. (PI. XII. fig. 7.) 



cJ . Differs from weiskei, Roth., in the yellow band on fore 

 •wing being a little narrower and constricted between vein 2 

 and submedian. The apex is tipped with yellow, forming a 

 spot. On the hind wing the red proximal bordering of the 

 yellow band is much broader and widens posteriorly. The 

 outer edge of the yellow band is incurved and rounded be- 

 tween veins 7 and 4, then convex to 2, and slightly incurved 

 from thence to anal anole.
