blue ; tlie sixth is marked in a similar way, but has a black dot in addition ; the fringes of 



all the wings are greyish white preceded by a black lino. 

 Female. Similar to the male, but with traces of orange markings towards anal angle of secondaries 



in some examples. 

 Expanse 23-32 millim. 



Allied to E.Jlscheri and E.ion, but is distinguished from the former species 

 by the bright blue markings on upper surface of secondaries and the 

 chequered fringes of primaries, and from both by the different character of 

 ornamentation on the under surface. 



Occiu's at several places in Western China, in July and August, at altitudes 

 ranging from 6000 up to 8500 feet. 



Everes ion. (Plate XXXI. fig. 4, c? .) 



Lyctena ion, Leech^ Entomologist^ xxiv.^ Suppl. p. 58 (June 1891). 



Agrees almost exactly with L. Jischeri, Eversm., on the upper surface, biit the under surface of 

 secondaries presents the following differences : the ground-colour is much whiter ; there are 

 three or four patches of grey near the base; the central band is uninterrupted, grey in colour, 

 contains a whitish spot, and has a spiir from its outer edge to a grey band on the outer margin ; 

 this latter is intersected by a whitish transverse line ; there are no orange markings on the 

 outer margin, but there are some silvery scales and a small black spot above anal angle. 



Expanse 28-30 millim. 



Occurs in Western China at Wa-shan, Wa-ssu-kow, Chow-pin-sa, Chia- 

 kou-ho, and Ta-chien-lu, in June and July, at elevations ranging from 5000 

 to 8500 feet. 



Everes filicaudis. (Plate XXXI. fig. 6, s .) 



Lampides filicaudis, W. B. Pryer, Cistula Entom, ii. p. 231 (1877). 



" TJpperside : ground-colour smoky brown-black, alike in both sexes, the only markings being a 

 just discernible submarginal row of spots on the hind wing, faintly edged with slaty blue. 

 Underside slaty grey, the usual Lyccena-Wke spots large, black, well-marked, and narrowly 

 edged with white. The tail is very diminutive, and hardly distinguishable, except in newly 

 emerged specimens ; the space between the two anal spots of the marginal and submarginal 

 rows of spots is more or less orange. 



" Expanse of wings JO lines to 1 inch." {Fryer, I. c.) 



On the under surface, the basal spots and interrupted arrangement of the spots forming central 

 series on primaries, together with the lesser amount of orange on the outer margin of 

 secondaries, distinguish this species from L. Jischeri, to which it is otherwise very similar. 



Mr. W. B. Pryer states that this species is abundant in all the hilly 

 districts of North China, and that from its resemblance to the females of some
