AGRIADES CORIDOX. 3 



make the sexes quite easily distinguishable. On the underside, too, 

 the 2 is darker than the $ , whilst usually the spotting is more 

 strongly developed, and the individual spots larger. Pierce notes the 

 scaling of the 3 as follows : (1) The androconial scales oval, -OOlin. x 

 •0015in.. with long stalk, 9 rows of spots, each row making a thin 

 Lne. (2) The transparent scales -0(J3m. x # 002in., greyish, the apex 

 slightly rounded, sometimes with an uneven margin. (3) Dark scales 

 scarce, -OlOin. x -OOloin., two- and three-pointed. (4) Covering scales 

 •022in. x -0002in., with 8 or 9 fine striae. Co) The dark marginal 

 scales are without yellow, three-pointed. Underside— the covering- 

 scales -006in. x '002in., three-pointed, otherwise similar to those of 

 upper side. The covering scales of the $ are -006in. x -OOoin., four- 

 pointed. No transparent scales except in the very blue $ s, in which 

 they are pinkish in colour, smooth, very highly refractive, and five- 

 iobed. The underside scales four-pointed, with deep indentations. 



Gynandromorphs. — The following gynandromorphs are the only 

 ones to which we have found reference* — 



a. — The right pair of wings and right half of the body j , the left ? . 

 Captured at Blandford, July 80th, 1887 (Smith, Ent., xxi., p. 13 ; Proc. Sth. Lond. 

 Ent. Hoc, 1887, p. 93). 



/3. — Divided completely including the body, one side blue, the other brown. 

 In the Webb coll. (Barrett, Lep. Brit. Isles, p. 87). 



y. — A gynandromorphous example captured August 23rd, 1887, on the Sheep 

 Leas, Horsley, Surrey (Briggs, Ent., xx., p. 266 and in litt.). Bight side s , 

 rather smaller than the left side which is ? , sold for £3 5s. at Stevens' 

 sale-rooms, October 27th, 1896, to Mr. S. Webb (Ent. Rec, viii., p. 272 and 

 Briggs in litt.). 



8. — Hermaphrodite ; taken at Colmar in Alsace (Biihl, Pal. Gross- Schmett., 

 i., p. 278 ; Schultz, " Wocli. fur Ent.," L, p. 335). 



e. — The body and three of the wings apparently <? , the left forewing and half 

 of the thorax ? , with some patches of blue scales on this wing ; on the underside 

 the specimen seems to be normal, except that there is a broad dark grey dash 

 along the costal area of the left forewing. Taken at Purley by Mr. Kirkman 

 (South, Ent., xxxv., p. 2, p. 1, fig. 3). 



f. — Imperfect gynandromorph. Shape and colour ? . Along the right hind- 

 wing some very strong glistening blue streaks of 3 colour run to the outer margin. 

 Captured in the Engadine (Wiskott, Lep. -Z witter, p. 13). 



7). — Imperfect gynandromorph. Form and colour ? . Bight hindwing from 

 the inner margin over the greater portion of the wing, covered with glistening blue 

 scales like those of the s . Friedland in Silesia. Wiskott coll. (Wiskott, Lep.- 

 Zwitt., p. 13). 



0. — i , with the appearance of being ? marginally. Staudinger in litt. 

 (Schultz, Wocli. fiir Ent., ii., p. 366). This is a $ in which the right hindwing 

 has the blue colour extending only halfway towards the outer margin, moreover, 

 the borders are much broader than is usually the case. Loc. Schweidnitz (Bang- 

 Haas in litt.). 



i. — A specimen taken near Stonehenge, the upperside of <? coloration except 

 the hind-margins which are broadly blackish-brown; the hindwings with the usual 

 marginal spots as in ? . The underside ? (Barrett, Lep. Brit. Isles, i., p. 86). 

 [?This appears to be the ? form, tithonus, Meig. ( — syngraplia, Kef.).] 



k. — $ with a black-brown, wedge-shaped streak on the upperside of the 

 right forewing, pointing inward from the margin. Briggs' coll. (Barrett, Lep. 

 Brit. Isles, L, p. 86). 



X. — ? , with sundry dashes of <? colour towards the hindmargin of left hind- 

 wing only. Ventnor (South, Ent., xx., p. 4). 



IX. — ? . With a longitudinal streak of <? colour along the inner margin of 

 left forewing, in addition to triangular dashes on hindwing. Ventnor (South, 

 Ent., xx., p. 4). 



v. — ? . Bight forewing with three interneural s blue dashes, one just above 

 and parallel with the inner margin, one in the space above this, but more towards 

 the outer margin, and one between the outer margin and the discoidal. Taken at
