of the hindwing blue-scaled. Under surface in £ and $ grey-brown, the bright dark-red bands as in epicletus, 
but more closely together, broadly bordered with a silvery green. Geram. 
H. anacletus Fldr. (144 f). Discernible from the closely allied species not only by the characteristic anaclelus. 
markings, but also by the robuster structure of the body and the antennae being particularly distinctly and 
broadly curled. above of a deep and lustrous blue, the deep blackish-brown marginal colouring in both wings 
occupies a broad costal marginal border, in the forewing the whole apical half, narrowed as far as the anal angle; 
the distal margin of the hindwing only narrowly bordered with black. Under surface light ochreous with a 
greenish tinge, metallic-green markings and brown-red bands in the hindwing; forewing with a large grey- 
brown inner-marginal spot extending as far as the posterior margin of the cell and vein 4 and being narrowed 
towards the anal angle and distally margined with blackish; before the apex a similar, proximally blackish- 
bordered, grey-brown spot; at the posterior margin of the cell a blackish streak; below the subcostal vein a 
green longitudinal streak extending beyond the middle; a second one at the costal margin of the cell, turning 
posteriorly round rectangularly at the cell-end; behind the cell a green, proximally black-margined transverse 
spot, below the end of the anterior streak; behind it, between the costal margin and vein 4 a transverse row 
of 4 green, distally black-margined spots, the second from above being the largest; along the border 5 silvery 
submarginal spots, growing smaller posteriorly, being distally finely bordered with black, proximally with 
a black dot which, however, is distinctly prominent only in the foremost spot. Hindwing with 4 brown-red 
bands finely bordered with black and a little more broadly with green, basally and costally, subbasally, discally 
and post discally; the 1st is short, the 2nd guttiform, anteriorly rounded off, posteriorly pointed, the 3rd exten¬ 
ding from the costal to the inner margin, the 4th between the inner-margin and vein 4; at the cell-end a posteriorly 
pointed, red discal spot, above it a broad red spot, both margined with black; the space of the wing between 
the bands somewhat lighter than the marginal part, terminating behind the post discal band with a black arcuate 
line; the green submarginal streak interrupted at the-veins. $ above more extensively blackish-brown, only 
the posterior part of both wings lustrous blue, the forewing between the basal parts of the veins 2 to 4 greyish 
white with a blue lustre. Under’surface like in the £, the inner-marginal part in the forewing lighter grey.

H. eucletus Fldr. (144 g). Smaller than anacletus, the distal margin of the forewings more strongly eucletus. 
bent, the hindwing at the anal angle and at vein 2 more distinctly angular. $ above preponderantly blackish- 
brown, forewing lustrous blue only on the part behind the cell, hindwing likewise with a much broader dark 
costal and inner margin, also the veins in the blue colouring black. Under surface similar to anacletus, forewing 
greyish-brown with a light-grey inner-marginal part, costal margin as far as beyond the middle violettish blue, 
similarly as in anacletus, submarginal spots smaller, the 4 anterior ones with a black pupil; hindwing dark- 
browm, costal margin light yellowish-grey, band deep dark red, discal band narrower, postdiscal band more 
broken up into spots than in anacletus, at the cell-end a small red, black-margined discal spot; the silvery-blue 
borders of the bands and the submarginal line narrower than in anacletus. $ beneath lighter than the <$, light 
ochreous-yellow, all the bands, also the postdiscal band of the forewing, deep dark red-brown; postdiscal 
band of the hindwing very irregular, though coherent; the metallic markings more distinct and broader than 
in the $. Moluccas (Halmaheira), Aru Islands, Waigiu, New Guinea, North Queensland. 
H. livius F. This species which, according to the description by Fabricius and Donovan’s figure, livius. 
presumably belongs near H. eucletus, has never yet been described more precisely. The upper surface of the 
is black with a blue middle spot in both wings, the under surface ashy-grey, in the forewing with a yellowish 
basal spot extending as far as the cell-end, and a dark submarginal band, in the hindwing with 3 broad red 
transverse bands crossing the wing, the distal one of which is interrupted and delimited before the middle; the 
markings are bordered silvery. The habitat is likewise doubtful. Fabricius’ statement ,,In Indiis“ is saying 
rather much, Kirby mentions Amboina, Dritce Australia to be the presumable patria. 
H. narcissus F. Closely allied to H. eucletus (144 g), the blue above particularly in the hindwing narcissus. 
somewhat more extensive and lighter, the ground-colour beneath darker grey-brown, the costal-marginal area 
in the forewing broadly, in the hindwing narrowly yellowish; the red postdiscal band in the forewing salient, of 
the red bands in the hindwing particularly the subbasal and discal ones are distinct and extending almost over 
the whole width of the wing; the metallic markings silvery green. North Australia. 
H. miskini Waterh. $ above with a dark reddish-violet lustre, forewing with a black distal-marginal miskini. 
border being narrowed from the apex to the anal angle, hindwing at the distal margin only very narrowly bor¬ 
dered with black, with a broad brown costal margin and a grey inner-margin. Marginal scales brown. Under 
surface grey with an orange-yellow and silvery green marking, in the forewing the cell, a spot at the cell-end, 
a postdiscal band and the marginal part are orange-yellow, a short costal basal streak, a longitudinal streak 
below the costal margin and in the cell green, below the cell some yellow spots, the discal spot proximally bor¬ 
dered with green, distally with black and green. The postdiscal band proximally incompletely bordered with 
green, at the costal margin between the cell and postdiscal band some green spots, in the yellow marginal band 
5 black submarginal spots covered with green scales. Hindwing with 5 orange-red, green-bordered transverse 
bands and a similar costal basal streak, the bands of a different extent, the 4th formed only by a large discal 
spot being on both sides bordered at first with black, with a small spot below it, the distal band postdiscal, 
curved, the posterior large spot proximally bordered at first with black; distal margin broad orange-yellow
