19. Miletus prolog enes^ 



Hypochrysops protogenes, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. ii. p. 255. n. 301 

 (1867). 



One female. 



The description of this species is difficult to follow, the 

 character of the bands of the secondaries below being ill- 

 expressed ; but, so far ^s I can make out, the above example 

 seems to be Felder's species. The hind wings below are 

 white with four bands : — the first three crossing the wing, fer- 

 ruginous, with metallic green borders, the third band very- 

 irregular and blotched with black ; the fourth band marginal, 

 orange, intersected by a metallic green line. 



Genus HOLOCHILA, Felder. 

 (Cupido, part., Kii-by.) 



20. Holochila intensa, n. sp. 



(^ . Brilliant cobalt-blue ; primaries with the costa, apical 

 area, and outer margin black-brown ; secondaries with the 

 borders black -brown ; antennae black, annulated with white, 

 tipped with orange : wings below snow-white. Expanse of 

 wings 1 inch 2 lines. 



2 . Greyish brown ; basal half of median interspaces white ; 

 a cuneiform patch from near the base to the white spot silvery 

 blue : wings below snow-white. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 3 lines. 



Two males. 



The examples from New Guinea being much rubbed, I 

 have taken the above description from Aru specimens previ- 

 ously in the collection.
