halyaetus. 
Hindwing with a short red costal basal streak and 5 red transverse bands; the 1st subbasal, short, extending 
across the base of the cell, the 2nd prediscal, extending from the proximal margin to the cell-end, the 3rd discal, 
irregular, formed of 3 separate parts, the 4th postdiscal, between the veins 7 and 2, the 5th submarginal, formed 
of single spots, narrow, at the anal angle broader; the bands 1 to 4 on both sides, the submarginal band only 
distally bordered with green. Moluccas. 
H. chrysonotus Sm. & Ky. (145 i). rf. Closely allied to ignita Leach, the blue colouring above with a 
reddish reflection more extensive; veins in the blue parts blackish, marginal scales white. Costal margin and 
apex in the foreAving broad, distal margin somewhat more narrowly bordered with black, the black margining of 
the hindwing in the same proportion, but narrower. Under surface very similar to that of ignita, on the whole 
lighter, the red postdiscal band in the forewing of a more uniform width, extending to close in front of the 
proximal margin; the bands of the hindwing narrower, lighter, more broken up into spots and without any 
black borders, only the marginal band on the posterior half at the proximal margin with 3 black spots. North 
Queensland. 
H. chrysotoxus Sm. & Ky. (145 b). $. Most closely allied to chrysonotus Sm. Ky., the blue colouring 
above comewhat lighter, more silvery blue, the blackish-brown borders still broader, in the foreAving at the 
cell-end the blue colouring flatly sinuate, the discal vein in the hindwing blackened. Under surface lighter 
than in chrysonotus, bands and spots reddish orange, the metallic lustrous band-margins and submarginal spots 
golden yelloAV instead of bluish-green; the hindmost part of the postdiscal band in the foreAA'ing someAvhat 
inwardly removed; hindwings, except the said differences, very much like in chrysonotus, on the inside of the 
discal band a large spot of golden yellow scales. British New Guinea (Milne Bay). 
H. chrysodesmus Sm. & Ky. (145 i). $ above dark brown with white marginal scales being dotted dark 
in the hindwing, both Avings as far as the middle with a bluish-violet reflection; in the foreAving the loAver half 
of the cell and the adjoining part below the cell semi-diaphanous. Under surface of a light broAvn ground-colour 
Avith orange-red bands and spots; costal margin of the foreAving as far as the middle of the cell of an orange-red 
colouring, from which in the middle and at the end of the cell one tooth-like continuation each proceeds, exten¬ 
ding to the posterior margin of the cell and being outside bordered Avith a golden green; at the anterior margin 
of the cell a golden green longitudinal streak, at the beginning of the last third of the costal margin a similar spot; 
postdiscal band and marginal band orange-red, the former extending from the costal margin to vein 2, rather 
narrow, on both sides by a blackish and golden green streak interrupted at the veins, the marginal band broad, 
interrupted by golden green sub marginal spots distally bordered by black; below the base and the middle of 
vein 7 one blackish spot each. Hindwing with a red costal basal streak, and beside the rather broad marginal 
band, with 3 red transverse bands on both sides bordered with black and golden green, the subbasal one and 
discal one each broken up into 3 spots, the postdiscal one separated from the marginal band only by a narrow 
interspace, connected with it at the costal and proximal margins; at the cell-end a large red spot bordered 
like the bands; submarginal spots like in the forewing. Cambodja (?). 
H. dicomas Heio. (145 c). A remarkably small species. $ above unicolorously dark brown, $ dark 
greyish-brown, only the proximal margin of the hindwings lighter grey. Under surface orange-red with a silvery 
blue marking, forewing of the $ with a grey proximal margin and a costal margin partly bordered with grey; 
in the forewing blue longitudinal streaks, proceeding from the base, below the costal margin and in the cell, 
the latter streak turned downward at its end, a blue spot at the cell-end, above it some spots at the costal margin, 
4 postdiscal spots in an oblique transverse row and a series of distinct submarginal spots. Hindwings marked 
similarly, with a short blue basal streak at the costal margin, tAvo basal streaks extending obliquely from the 
proximal margin to the costal margin, discal spots in a single, postdiscal spots in a double transverse roAV, sub- 
marginal spots like in the forewing. Waigiu. 
H. rufinus Gr.-Sm. (145 c). A above dark reddish-violet, forewing with a blackish, at the apex much 
broader costal- and distal-marginal border, hindwing with a greyish-black costal and proximal margin. Under 
surface of both wings bright red with a pale-blue metallic marking, proximal margin in the foreAving broadly 
coloured light greyish-brown; foreAving at the anterior margin of the cell with a light blue longitudinal streak, 
at the posterior margin of the cell a second streak being curved like an S in its terminal half, a short transverse 
streak at the cell-end, small distinct postdiscal spots, at the costal margin in a double roAV, and a series of small 
submarginal spots; between the postdiscal and submarginal spots the wing is coloured blackish in the middle. 
Hindwing with 5 greenish-blue streaks running vertically to the proximal margin, the two discal ones inter¬ 
rupted, a double postdiscal and a single submarginal row of spots, between which the ground of the wing is 
likewise blackened. $ (doubtful whether it belongs to rufinus-$) above blackish-brown, the distal half of 
the hindwing of a bright chrome-yellow; under surface essentially like in the <$. Island of Ron (tf) and 
Milne Bay ($). 
H. halyaetus Hcu\ A small species. G above brilliant light blue, costal margin in the foreAving rather 
narrow, apex broad blackish-brown, narrowed as far as the anal angle; costal margin in the hindwing broadly, 
distal margin narrowly dark, with a narrow orange-broAvn marginal band. Under surface yellowish orange, 
forewing with 4 metallic-green spots along the costal margin and similar submarginal spots, the 3 posterior 
ones of Avhich are brownish and sometimes confluent; a green spot in the cell, at the cell-end and behind the 
cell; hindwing with 4 metallic green, basal, subbasal, discal and submarginal transverse bands, the first quite 
short, the two middle ones extending from the proximal margin to vein 6, Avith a costal spot in front of them,
