Race agenor, Linn. An extremely variable polymorphic form, 

 described originally from a tailless $ . The common form of 



the d 1 is the one figured as 

 androgeos by Cramer. The 

 tailed form of the $ seems 

 to be more common than the 

 tailless forms, but both tailed 

 and tailless forms of the $ 

 occur throughout its range. 



c? . First form. Upper- 

 side : deep indigo-blue black ; 

 fore wing with or without a 

 short dark red streak at base 

 of subcostal cell ; both fore 

 and hind wings with more or 

 less well-marked silvery-blue 

 adnervular streaks that do 

 not reach the terminal mar- 

 gin ; these are most promi- 

 nent on the hind wing where 

 they extend into the apex 

 of the cell ; on the fore 

 wing they are confined to 

 the outer half and become obsolescent towards the costa. 

 Underside : fore wing ground-colour dull black ; the adnervular 

 silvery-blue streaks as on the upperside but much broader, more 

 prominent and extended well into the cell ; a broad dark red 

 patch at base of the latter. Hind wing dull opaque black with 

 broad velvety-blacker streaks in the interspaces, each broadened
