  The 
  ? 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  is 
  rather 
  larger 
  than 
  the 
  3' 
  , 
  

   and 
  the 
  upper 
  side 
  of 
  a 
  dull 
  black 
  colour, 
  with 
  the 
  

   internal 
  area 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  wing 
  yellowish 
  white, 
  with 
  a 
  

   few 
  blue 
  scales 
  along 
  the 
  superior 
  wall 
  of 
  the 
  cell. 
  The 
  

   hind 
  wing 
  is 
  dull 
  black, 
  with 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  pure 
  

   white, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  c? 
  . 
  Under 
  side 
  same 
  as 
  3 
  . 
  

  

  Although 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  a 
  somewhat 
  extended 
  range, 
  

   it 
  is 
  a 
  rare 
  insect, 
  and 
  seldom 
  met 
  with 
  in 
  collections.

  The 
  only 
  specimens 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  of 
  this 
  beautiful 
  

   insect 
  are 
  the 
  types 
  in 
  the 
  Hewitson 
  Collection 
  in 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum. 
  Herr 
  C. 
  Eibbe 
  has 
  not 
  recorded 
  the 
  

   species 
  in 
  his 
  " 
  Lenidopteren-Fauna 
  der 
  Aru-Inseln," 
  

   *

  Hypochrysops 
  hippuris.

  Hypochrysops 
  hippuris,

  This 
  species, 
  again, 
  is 
  only 
  known 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  the 
  type 
  

   in 
  the 
  Hewitson 
  Collection, 
  and 
  is 
  also 
  not 
  recorded 
  by 
  

   Herr 
  C. 
  Eibbe. 
  

  

  These 
  last 
  two 
  species 
  bear 
  a 
  superficial 
  resemblance 
  

   to 
  the 
  group 
  which 
  includes 
  the 
  Papilio 
  danis, 
  Cr., 
  from 
  

   Amboyna. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  described 
  under 
  

   Hypochrysops, 
  and 
  referred 
  to 
  other 
  genera 
  by 
  recent 
  

   authors, 
  viz., 
  H. 
  clegans, 
  Druce, 
  and 
  H. 
  buhases, 
  Hew., 
  

   to 
  Catapoecilma, 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Butler 
  and 
  others. 
  

  

  The 
  Ilerda 
  (?) 
  superba, 
  Druce, 
  placed 
  in 
  Hypochrysops 
  

   in 
  the 
  Hewitson 
  Collection, 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  

   a 
  new 
  genus 
  (Semanga) 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Distant. 
  

  

  The 
  letters 
  "G. 
  &

  refer 
  to 
  specimens 
  in 
  Messrs. 
  

   Godman 
  & 
  Salvin's 
  collection 
  ; 
  "

  to 
  specimens 
  in 
  

   our 
  own 
  possession 
  ; 
  and
