114 MR. G. T. BETHTJNE-BAKEE : A EEVISION OF THE 



measures in expanse no less than 66 mm. In the genitalia the tegumen is very simple 

 with hardly any hood and the sides very broad almost to the juncture with the clasps ; 

 the hooks are long, angled almost at 45° about their centre, and fixed very close to the 

 top of the tegumen ; the clasps are small ; the penis is rather like that organ in the 

 eumolphus group, but much shorter, not having the narrow internal portion as in that 

 section.

Expanse, j 46-49, ? 45-46 mm. 



This species may be safely recognised from the preceding, A. diardi Hew., by the 

 slight differences of the upperside as already enumerated under that species, but more 

 especially by the fact that the subbasal broad dark band is always unbroken. 



A. fulgida has a much more restricted range than diardi. The genitalia are of just 

 the same type as in diardi Hew., but the hooks are angled at a third from their 

 attachment and the clasps are much more pointed. 



Arhopala anniella (Hewitson).

Mr. Distant has severely strictured Hewitson's figure of this species, yet his own is 

 but little better ; in shape it is worse than the original figure ; the costa and posterior 

 margin of the primaries should be much straighter, especially the former, and the tip 

 of the apex slightly produced, whilst the secondaries are absolutely wrong in shape and 

 should be as described already, instead of rounded as figured by Mr. Distant. 



The rich beautiful blue of the male will separate it from any of its near neighbours, 

 whilst below it is much more uniform in tone, and the secondaries are very dark rich 

 purplish red, washed here and there with very pale lavender scales, and it has no
