  The 
  ^ 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  side 
  is 
  a 
  uniform 
  dark 
  purple, 
  

   darker 
  in 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  with 
  scarcely 
  any 
  black 
  margins. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  afford 
  good 
  evidence 
  to 
  

   prove 
  that 
  these 
  insects 
  cannot 
  be 
  divided 
  into 
  distinct 
  

   genera, 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  ujpper 
  side 
  it 
  resembles 
  H. 
  anacletus, 
  

   Feld., 
  and 
  allies 
  ; 
  and

  the 
  under

  This 
  species, 
  which 
  is 
  represented 
  in 
  most 
  collections, 
  

   is 
  the 
  largest 
  and 
  most 
  robust 
  looking 
  of 
  the 
  group.

  This 
  species, 
  which 
  is 
  stated 
  by 
  Eibbe 
  (Deutsche 
  Ent. 
  

   Zeitschr., 
  p. 
  254, 
  1890) 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  local 
  form 
  of 
  H. 
  anacletus, 
  

   seems 
  to 
  differ 
  from 
  that 
  species 
  by 
  the 
  much 
  greater 
  

   surface 
  of 
  blue 
  above, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  bands 
  on 
  the 
  under 
  

   side 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  being 
  black 
  in 
  place 
  of 
  brick 
  red. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  only 
  known 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Staudinger's 
  figure.
