LAMPIDES. 409 



LAMPIDES ROGEESI miJii, named after Mr. C. Gr. Bogers, Conser- 

 vator of Forests, of the Imperial Forest Department of India, to 

 whom I owe the gift of a large and very valuable collection of 

 butterflies from the Andamans and Xicobars. For better recog- 

 nition I figure the form (PI. XX, fig. 149).

d" . Upperside : pale blue with a purplish tint, fore wing 

 posteriorly and hind wing entirely paler ; in certain lights both 

 wings have a silvery glint. Fore wing : darkening towards the 

 apex ; interspaces terminally with obscure fine fuscous striae, 

 " resting exteriorly on a slender white 

 line " (almost obsolete in the sole 

 specimen that I have) ; cilia brown 

 with an anticiliary black line. Hind 

 _ wing : costa slightly paler than the 



Pig. 89. ground-colour ; a subterminal series 



a. Lampides celeno, race of black spots decreasing in size

b. Lamptdes kwdulana. bounded by a white li ne that is inter- 

 rupted by the crossing of the veins ; the spot in interspace 2 the 

 largest, interspace 1 with two minute geminate spots, interspace 1 

 with a similar minute single spot ; a transverse short white line 

 crowned by an obscure fuscous line ; on the inner side of the latter 

 three subterminal spots ; finally, an anticiliary slender black line 

 as on the fore wing. Cilia fuscous Lrown with a slender white 

 line along their bases ; tail black tipped with white. Underside : 

 pale fawn-colour. Fore wing : a short transverse white line on 

 either side of the discocellulars, both continued posteriorly to the 

 dorsal margin but broken at the joining with the short discocellular 

 lines ; beyond this a pair of parallel, short, upper discal white lines 

 that form a more or less catenulated band and extend from vein 

 9 to vein 4, the inner of the two broken at that vein and continued 

 to vein 3 ; terminal markings consist of two transverse subterminal 

 and a similar terminal white line followed by an anticiliary black 

 line ; the space between the subterminal lines and between them 

 and the terminal line darker than the ground-colour of the wing 

 and with a maculated appearance. Hind wing : crossed by the 

 following irregular white lines : a basal pair, broken at the subcostal 

 and median veins, and posterior to them a dark spot on the dorsurn ; 

 a medial pair from the subcostal vein to the dorsum, anteriorly 

 passing one on each side of the discocellulars and posteriorly 

 curved sharply upwards ; an obliquely placed, very much inter- 

 rupted and broken upper discal pair 1'rom costa to vein 4, the inner 

 one broken at vein 4 and continued posteriorly to vein 5 ; terminal 

 markings much as in the fore wing ; the inner subterminal white
