61. Lycsena argiades. 
Papilio argiades, Pall., Eeise, i., App. No. 65 (1771). 
? Lycdsna praxiteles, Feld., Yerli. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 
xii., p. 489, n. 51 (1862) ; Reise Nov., Lep., ii., 
p. 281, n. 355, t. 35, fig. 5 (1865). 
I have seen only a very few local examples of this 
species, which were taken by Dr. W. W. Beveridge in a 
grassy place on the south slope of the island. These 
agree well with specimens from the Chusan Islands, 
where the insect is very common. 
62. Lycsena hoetica, 
Papilio hoeticus, Linn., Syst. Nat., i., 2, p. 789, n. 226 
(1767). 
Common, especially in the low ground about Happy 
Yalley,'^ where it may sometimes be met with in num- 
bers, flying about the flowers of a species of Cassia. 
December to May, and apparently on the wing all the 
year round. 
63. Chilades laius. 
Papilio laius, Cram., Pap. Exot., iv., t. 319, figg. 
D. E. (1782). 
Polyommatus varunana, Moore, P. Z. S., 1865, p. 772, 
t. 41, fig. 6. 
Apparently not a rare species, but it seems to be more 
common at Kowloon than at Hong-Kong. I have taken 
specimens during every month of my stay. It frequents 
suuny, bushy places. 
64. Lampides oelianus, 
Hesperia oelianus, Fabr., Ent. Syst., iii., p. 280 (1798). 
Rare ; I have seen only one or two specimens in Dr. 
Beveridge^s collection, which were taken in the " Happy 
Valley.^'
