Gen. Hypolycaena Feld. 



182. H. erylus splendidus subspec. nova. 



cT — Pulu Babi — 5/1915. Splendidus is characterized by the splendid 

 shining violet-blue of the upperside of the wings, which are more red 

 to the bases. The black spot round the end of the cell is not very 

 distinct though larger than in the typical form from Java. The ocellus 

 in the anal angle of the hindwing is also very distinct on the upperside. 

 On the underside we observe a more brownish gray colour near to the 

 apices of the forewings, while the other parts are more bluish gray. 

 The transverse lines are very narrow and not so striking as in the other 

 forms from Sumatra and Java. The female specimens will, no doubt, be 

 as dark as those of erylus syphax Fruhst. from Mas. 



Mr. Edw. Jacobson has published some very interesting observations 

 about a symbiosis between the larvae of erylus and the ant Oecophylla 

 smaragdina F. in „Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, LY, p. 9, 1912. Mr. H. 

 Yiehmeyer has enumerated more Lycaenidae, living in symbiosis with the 

 ants, in „The Philippine Journal of Science V, N°. 1, Sect. D. pp. 69 — 77." 



Gen. Semanga Dist. 



183. S. superba (subspec. sec. Fruhstorfer) Druce. 

 cf — Pasir Ganting (Indrapura) — 10/1915. 



Gen. Chliaria Moore. 



184. C. tora pumilina subspec. nova. 

 C? — Aur (Kumanis, Highl, of Pad.) — 3/1914. Kheil has given 

 a photo of a very large form from Mas. The typical form messures 

 29 m.m., the received male from Sumatra however only 19 m.m. ! Druce's 

 name minima for the form from Borneo indicates also a small race.
