52 ME. G. T. BETHTJNE-BAKER : A REVISION OF THE 



fractured anywhere, though so irregular ; submarginal lunular row distinct. A black 

 spot occupies the lobe and the marginal space between the submedian and lower 

 median nervures and between the latter and the second median nervule ; the first and 

 last are slightly edged above with bluish-metallic scales, and the middle spot has its 

 entire central area filled with these scales, so that it appears as two little black spots 

 at each extremity. Extreme margin finely white. Tail black, tipped with white. 



2 . Upperside : both wings pale azure-blue ; primaries with very broad costal and 

 posterior margins. Secondaries with very broad costal and posterior margins, the 

 latter narrowing at anal angle ; abdominal fold grey ; anal angle with two black 

 spots, lobe with a small black spot. Underside as in male, but spots more broadly 

 encircled with white, and in the primaries the submedian area is all whitish, with the 

 usual spot below the middle discal spot. This area in the male is almost uniform in 

 colour with the ground. I have before me a second female in which the blue is deep 

 slightly lustrous ultramarine, and the markings of the underside are not so confluent, 

 and the ground darker brown. 



A male and two females from Mindanao. Both these females are figured on Plate III. 

 figs. 29 & 30. E Mus. Staudinger. 



This species is much smaller than eridamis Feld., and may be known by this fact and 

 also because the apex and outer margin are broadly blackish, whilst in the female the 

 pale central area is not white but blue and is very restricted. The under surface is 

 darker in both sexes, and with the white outlines of pattern narrower.

8 . Upperside : both wings brown, with a few blue scales scattered over the basal 

 half of the wings ; in one specimen before me these blue scales occupy the whole of 

 the basal, central, and submedian area, and in the secondaries the same area, but to a 

 more limited extent. Tail brown, tipped with white, not long. Underside : both 

 wings brown, with slightly darker spots encircled with whitish. Primaries with three 

 discal spots increasing in size ; below the spot closing the cell is another smaller one, and 

 in the submedian area is another beneath the second discal spot ; the transverse chain- 

 like band is composed of seven distinct spots, all touching each other, except that in 

 the submedian area, which varies much in size. The first spot on the costa is very 

 small, and is followed by three shifted outwards and outwardly inclined ; the fifth is
