i can find no points whereby to distinguish Mr. Mathew's species 

 from B. isabella, which has been lately figured by Dr. Staudinger 

 (Exot. Schmett. pi. 95). Mr. Mathew states (trans. Ent. Soc.) 

 that S. chromis is " allied to S. jjhoddes (Feld. !), but differs .... 

 in possessing . ... a deep purple blotch near apex, instead of a short, 

 narrow, blue band." The H. phocides, Fabr., is now known to be a 

 species without any blue whatever on the upperside. 



Mr. Woodford obtained a large number of males of this species 

 varying very much in size, also several females which agree well 

 with Hewitson's figure. 



There is a specimen in the British Museum from the Aru Islands. 



ThECLA (?) ALCESTIS. 



Thecla alcestis, Smith, Ent. Mo. Mag. xxv. p. 300 (1889). 



Gela I. 



I have not seen specimens of this species and am unable to 

 determine to which genus it is rightly referable.
