EVEEES. 331 
blue ; the sixth is marked in a similar way, hut has a black dot iu addition ; the fringes of 
all the -n-ings arc greyish white preceded by a black line. 
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.Ji'scheri 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. 
Occurs at several places in Western China, in July and August, at altitudes 
ranging from 5000 up to 8500 feet. 
Everes ion. (Plate XXXI. fig. 4, cj .) 
Lyccena ion, Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 58 (June 1891). 
Agrees almost exactly with L. JtscJicri, Evcrsm., on the upper surface, but 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 spur 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-shau, AVa-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, j .) 
LampiclesfiUcaudis, 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-like 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 10 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.JtscIieri, 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 fr'om its resemblance to the females of some
