was a female. We have both sexes. The hindwing bears a thin black 

 tail tipped with white. 



57. *Thtsonitis cj:lius, Felder. 



Rober as Plebeius c&lius, Felder, from Key. It is probable that 

 Herr Rober so identified the species which has been described sub- 

 sequent to his 1891 paper as T. korion, H. H. Druce and Bethune-Baker. 

 The latter gentlemen spell the word ccelius. As figured, this species has 

 no tails. 



58. Lyc^inesthes emolus, Godart. 



Not rare on Little Ke Island. Caught on flowers and bushes in 

 open places. It is highly probable we think that "Plebeius" seltuttus, 

 Rober, Iris, vol. i, p. 67, pi. v, fig. 24, male; pi. iv, fig. 24, female (1886), 

 from the Aru Isles, and East and North- West New Guinea, is the same 

 species as L. emolus. 



59. LYCiENESTHES TURNERI, Miskin. 



L. turneri, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. sat. Hist. Soc, vol. xii, p. , n. 13, pi. Z, 

 figs. 24, male ; 25, female (1898). 



Much rarer than the preceding species on Little Ke* and found with 

 it. It was originally described from Australia, and Australian speci- 

 mens in de Niceville's collection agree exactly with both sexes from the 

 Ke Isles. 



60. Everes argiades, Pallas. 



Somewhat rare on Little and Great Ke, flies near the ground, 

 amongst low plants. 



61. Nacaddba hermus, Felder.. 



Rober and Ribbe as Plebeius unicolor, Rober, from Key, described 

 from Ceram, Key and East Celebes. Herr Rober has sent a male to 

 de Niceville from Ceram, which proves that P. unicolor is a synonym of 

 N. hermus. We have both sexes from the Ke Isles. 



62. Nacaduba meiranganus, Rober. 



Very rare on Little and Great Ke Islands. Originally described 

 from the Aru Isles. Has a very quick flight, and settles on the leaves 

 of bushes by the roadside. In coloration and markings the female of this 

 species very closely resembles that sex of Lycvenesthes turneri, Miskin.
