70. Lampides amphissa, Felder, 



Rare on Little Ke Island. The L. areas, H. H. Druce, from the 

 Solomon Isles, Proc. Zool. Soc. Load., 1891, p. 368, pi. xxxii, figs. 7, 

 male ; 8, female, is very near to L. amphissa, which was originally des- 

 cribed from Bat j an. 



71. Lampides htlas, Cramer. 



Rober as Plebeius euchylas, Hiibner. Not rare on damp spots on 

 pathways in Little Ke, common on Great K6. 



72. Catochrysops strabo, Fabricins. 



Ribbe as Plebejus kandarpa, Horsfield. Occurs commonly on legu- 

 minous plants on all the islands. 



73. Catochrysops lithargyria, Moore. 



This species is found on Koer Island. The male is distinctly blue 

 on the upperside, while G. strabo, Fabricius, is as distinctly purple. 



74. Catochrysops cnejus, Fabricius. 



Extremely common on Leguminosas. It occurs on Koer and the 

 other islands of the Archipelago. 



75. Polyommatus B(ETicus, Linnaeus. 



Ribbe as Plebejus basticus from Key. Occurs rarely on Great Ke 

 Island. 



76. Amblypodia sp. 



Herr Kiihn has sent to de Niceville a somewhat rough coloured 

 drawing of a species of Amblypodia which the latter is unable to 

 identify. Herr Kiihn caught a single specimen on Great Ke\ The 

 drawing appears to represent a female ; the upperside is dark umber- 

 brown, the forewing has a pale blue basal patch occupying about a 

 third of the wing, and extending from the subcostal nervure to the 

 inner margin. The hind wing has a similar basal patch, wedge-shaped, 

 narrow at the base of the wing, wide outwardly, and occupying the 

 whole of the discoidal cell. The underside of both wings is as usual 

 in the genus of various shades of brown, more or less mottled with 

 white. No species of true Amblypodia has, We believe, hitherto been 

 recorded as far east as the Papuan region.
