359. Lampides saturata, Snellen. 



Lycsena saturata, Snellen, Tijd. voor Ent., vol. xxxv, p. 137, n. 3 (1892). 

 Originally described from Java, but not figured. I am not quite 

 sure of the identification, it is difficult to identify species of this genus 

 without good figures. It is one of the commonest species of Lampides 

 in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Java; I possess a very long 

 suite of specimens of it from all these places, 



360. Lampides talinga, Kheil. 



Plebeius talinga, Kheil, Rhop. Nias, p. 29, n. 86, pi. v, figs. 32, male ; 33, female 

 (1884). 



Lampides talinga, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. x, p. 39, n. 18, 

 pi. S, figs. 27, male; 28, female (1895). 



A very small and quite distinct species. Originally described from 

 Nias, aud is very common in Sumatra. 



361. Lampides elpis, Godart. 



Snellen. Hagen as elpJvis [sic], Godardt [sic], 



362. *Lampides kankena, Felder. 



Snellen. Originally described from Kar Nicobar. I have seen 

 the type specimen, a male, at Vienna. In the Indian Museum, Calcutta, 

 are a pair of specimens from Nankowri, one of the Nicobar Islands, and 

 I possess males from Nias Island and the Philippines. Its occurrence in 

 Sumatra is not at all improbable. It is a very distinct species, has the 

 striae on the underside arranged as in L. elpis, Godart ; the male on the 

 upperside is of a very pale silvery-blue. 



363. Lampides kondulana, Felder. 



Originally described from Kondul Isle, one of the Nicobars. I 

 have seen the type in Vienna. In coloration the male is similar to that 

 sex of the three preceding species, but the black border to the wings 

 on the upperside is reduced to a marginal thread. On the underside 

 the striae are as in the two last-named species. I possess specimens 

 from Nacondam Island, the Nicobar Isles, Burma, the Malay Peninsula, 

 Sumatra and Java, The " Cupido " cserulea, Druce, from Borneo, Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. Lond., 1873, p. 349, n. 13, pi. xxxii, fig. 6, male, is almost 

 certainly a synonym of this species. 



364. Lampides sdbdita, Moore. 



First described from Mergui in Lower Burma. Is not uncommon 

 in Sumatra at Namoe Oekor and in the Battak mountains.
