  This 
  tiny 
  butterfly 
  is 
  frequent 
  on 
  the 
  brushy 
  edges 
  of 
  fields, 
  

   and 
  we 
  also 
  found 
  it 
  locally 
  abundant 
  on 
  the 
  brushy 
  side 
  of 
  a 
  road 
  

   through 
  a 
  mangrove 
  swamp 
  in

  It 
  is 
  a

  Notes. 
  — 
  Lord 
  Kothschild 
  said 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  "varies 
  enormously 
  

   in 
  size." 
  Our 
  specimens 
  are 
  all 
  large, 
  the 
  male 
  with 
  the 
  forewings 
  

   13 
  mm. 
  in 
  length, 
  the 
  females 
  with 
  the 
  forewings 
  14 
  mm. 
  They 
  seem 
  

   to 
  be 
  more 
  blue 
  than 
  those 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  Museum, 
  but 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  

   due 
  to 
  their 
  freshness. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  frequent 
  in 
  brushy 
  field 
  at 
  Momote 
  Airstrip, 
  Los 
  

   Negros.

  One 
  female, 
  

   eastern 
  Manus, 
  November

  1945. 
  

  

  Notes. 
  — 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  frequent 
  along 
  the 
  edges 
  of 
  woods. 
  The 
  

   brilliant 
  blue 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  makes 
  it 
  a 
  conspicuous 
  insect 
  when 
  on 
  the 
  

   wing. 
  Those 
  we 
  saw 
  or 
  collected 
  were 
  all 
  in 
  waist-high 
  brush 
  on 
  the 
  

   outskirts 
  of 
  the 
  forest. 
  The 
  flight 
  is 
  faster 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  most 
  lycaenids.
