50 DIUENAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



5. Hypolycsena Sipylus. Plate XXII. 6 figs. 11, 12, 13, ]4. 



Myrina Sipylus, Felder, Lep. Amboin. Sitz. Akacl. Wiss. Wien, 1860. 

 Hypolycsena Tharrytas, Boisduval, Felder, Wien. Ent. Monats. vol. vi. p. 294. 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson, from Celebes, Amboyna, Luzon. 

 Female like the male, except that it is rufous-brown, and that the posterior wing has a 

 broad band of white traversed by a band of brown at the middle of the outer margin. 



Figures 13 and 14 of the plate represent H. Sipylus of Felder, from Amboyna; figures 11 

 and 12 his H. Tharrytas, from Luzon, which seems to me to be only a variety of the former, 

 the only difference being that H. Tharrytas has a larger portion of pale blue on the upperside, 

 and that the bands and spots of the underside are less distinctly marked. 



6. Hypolycsena Philippus. Plate XXII. s figs. 15, 16, var.

Var. (figs. 15, 16) with the inner band on the underside of the posterior wing more 

 broken into spots : the colour of the male more rufous. 

 In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson, from Natal. 



The females of this species resemble on the upperside of the posterior wing several others of 

 this group, and show, I think, that they are in their proper position. Some of the males are 

 much more beautifully glossed with violet-blue than the figure of the plate. 



7. Hypolycsena Othona, Hewitson. Plate XXII. figs. 17, 18. 



Upperside pale cerulean blue. Anterior wing with the apical half rufous-brown. Posterior 

 wing with the apex brown. 



Underside white. Both wings crossed beyond the middle by an irregular band of rufous 

 spots commencing in a large spot at the costal margin of each wing : both with a submarginal 

 rufous line. Anterior wing with the costal and outer margins rufous. Posterior wing with a 

 black spot near its base, and two black spots near the anal angle each crowned with orange. 



Exp. 1 inch. 



In the Collection of the British Museum, from Northern India.
