c? . Eore wing as in fig. 9 B (p. 23), but dorsum more convex,

 velvety brown, fore wing glossed with blue from base to termen, 

 a subterminal series of bright blue spots and an incomplete terminal 

 series, commencing at the tornus, of small dots. Hind wing blue- 

 glossed only in the middle; subterminal and terminal series of very 

 white spots, the spots in the latter smaller and the series generally 

 incomplete. Underside dark umber-brown, fore wing slightly blue- 

 glossed in middle ; markings as on the upperside, but with the 

 following additional spots on both fore and hind wing : — a spot at 

 apex of cells, and five to seven discal spots beyond bluish white ; 

 one or more of these spots minute, often absent. Antennas black ;

Euplcea grotei, Eelder, seems to be a variety of E. harrisi. 



Euplcea {Stictoploea) crowleyi, Moore, of which the type is now 

 in the Collection of the British Museum, is an undoubted variety 

 of E. harrisi. It has the hind wing more or less immaculate on 

 the upperside, the subterminal series of spots reduced to three 

 just below the apex in the type, and the terminal series of spots 

 wanting. 



Race hopei, Eelder, differs from typical harrisi in having on the 

 fore wing, in addition to the subterminal and incomplete terminal 

 series of spots, a spot in apex of cell and a row of discal spots 

 varying from two in var. regina, Moore, to six or seven in micro- 

 sticta and binotata, Butler. On the hind wing the subterminal and 

 terminal series of spots are very incomplete, reduced to two or three 

 below the apex. Underside similar to the underside in E. harrisi,
