HYPOLYG^NINM 83 



De Niceville, to whom the type specimen was submitted for examination, says : — 

 " The species resembles almost exactly on both surfaces the common Hypolycsena erylus, 

 Godart, the coloration and markings are almost identical, but it is smaller than the 

 smallest H. erylus that I have seen, though that species varies extraordinarily in size."
