Mr. J. J. Walker on 
Ning-po (near the celebrated "Snowy Valley^'), in 
November of the same year. The contrast of colour 
between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings gives 
this butterfly a most curious appearance on the wing. 
57. Gerydus chinensis. 
Miletus chinensis, Feld., A^erh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien^ xii., 
p. 488, n. 146 (1862); Eeise Nov., Lep., ii., p. 284, 
n. 364, t. 35, figg. 35, 36 (1865). 
I have seen only one specimen of this singular little 
butterfly, described by Felder, from Hong-Kong ; this I 
took on a Verbena flower in " Happy Yalley gardens, 
on March 30th, 1892. 
58. Neopithecops zalmora, 
Pitliecops zalmoraj Butler, Cat. Fabr. Lep., p. 16(1870). 
One of the most local of the Hong-Kong butterflies, 
although it is not uncommon where found. I only met 
with it along a few yards of the " Stanley Road,^' at the 
head of the " Happy Yalley," and in one or two very 
restricted spots at Kowloon. It flies in rather dark shady 
places under trees, and although small, is conspicuous on 
the wing by its white underside. December, and again 
from March to May. 
59. Zizera sangra. 
Polyommatus sangra, Moore, P. Z. S., 1865, p. 772, 
t. 41, 8. 
Not uncommon among Mimosa pudica and other low- 
growing Leguminosas, in open ground in the " Happy 
Yalley,^^ and elsewhere. December to May. 
60. Zizera maha. 
? Lycsena otis, Fabr., Mant. Ins., ii., p. 73.

L. argia. Men., Cat. Mus. Petr., p. 125, t. 10, fig. 7 
(1857). 
A very common insect, found everywhere in the open 
country and along the roadsides. December to May, and 
probably throughout the year.
