I shall be very glad if I have found a resting-place for this species, which, from the singu- 

 larity of its aspect, has been placed in several genera. It cannot, I think, be separated from 

 H. Rabe, and I believe that I am right in placing that species in this genus. 



19. Hypolycsena Kina, Heivitson. Plate V. figs, d 32, 2 33, 34. 



Upperside. Male. — Cerulean blue. The base of both wings brown. Anterior wing 

 with a small black discal spot at the end of the cell : the costal and outer margins broadly 

 brown. Posterior wing with two tails : the costal margin brown : the lobe and two small 

 spots at the base of the tails brown. 



Underside blue-white. Both wings with two lines at the end of the cell : both with two 

 pale subniarginal bands, the outer band broken into spots. Anterior wing crossed beyond the 

 middle by a long twice interrupted band of seven spots. Posterior wing with a black spot 

 near the base : crossed at the middle by several unconnected spots. 



Female. — Dark brown, paler on the posterior wing : each wing with a 

 central pale spot. Posterior wing with some marginal spots of dark brown, and below them 

 a line of white. On the underside it does not differ from the male, except in having the 

 bands and spots darker.

 outer margin dark brown, traversed by a band of five white lunular spots.

 spots, commencing on the posterior wing by a large black spot: both with a submarginal
