the distal one broken up into oval spots. $ above bluish-lilac, otherwise like the <$, both wings with a fine 
orange marginal line. West Australia (Swan River, Geraldton). 
H. hippuris Heiv. £ above lustrous blue with a narrow black margining being somewhat broader hippvris. 
at the apex of the forewing; forewing at the posterior margin of the cell with a white longitudinal spot, the 
basal half of the costal margin of the hindwing white; the distal part broad black. Under surface white, the 
metallic markings bluish-green, costal margin in the forewing broad, distal margin narrow greyish-brown, 
forewing besides with a green costal and subcostal streak, both extending to the middle and separated by a 
narrow black interspace, with some green spots in the distal half of the costal margin and green submarginal 
spots; at the anterior margin of the cell a black longitudinal streak emerging from the base. Hindwing with 
a short black costal basal streak and a black subbasal, discal and postdiscal streak on both sides bordered with 
green, all of them proceeding from the proximal margin and not reaching the costal margin, the basal band 
narrower; the green submarginal streak proximally bordered with black, the distal margin narrow brown, 
also the anterior ends of the discal and postdiscal streak bordered with brown. Aru Islands. 
H. doleschallii Flclr. (145 b). $ above bright violettish-blue, costal and distal margins in both wings doleschalli 
moderately broadly bordered with black, costal-marginal border in the hindwing at the base broad, behind 
the middle much narrower, apical border the broadest, narrowed as far as the anal angle. Marginal scales in 
the hindwing white; at the veins spotted black. Under surface: forewing with a large, triangular, white inner- 
marginal spot extending to the anterior margin of the cell and outside as far as near the border, costal margin 
black, apex and distal margin greyish-brown, the white spot distally accompanied by a black submarginal 
band on both sides bordered with a metallic green, above which, in the brown apical colouring, there are 2 black 
spots likewise distally bordered with green; in the black costal colouring a short green basal streak, another 
longer one at the anterior margin of the cell, extending to the end of it; in the distal half 2 green markings 
curved in the shape of a Y. Hindwing with 3 (subbasal, discal and postdiscal) broad black transverse bands, 
and a broad black border; the interspaces covered with lustrous metallic-green scales, the postdiscal line being 
somewhat curved and not reaching the costal margin is before the middle interrupted by a narrow green trans¬ 
verse junction; in the black marginal band there is a narrow green submarginal band; the white transverse 
band between the 1st and 2nd black band extends only from the costal margin the cell-end. Amboina, Ceram. 
H. alyattes Salv. (145 a). Closely allied to doleschallii. $ above of a deep lustrous blue, both wings alyattes. 
with narrow black margins, forewing at the apex somewhat more broadly margined black; under surface of 
a white ground-colour, costal margin in the forewing and distal margin in both wings narrowly yellowish-brown, 
the metallic markings lustrous bluish-green, forewing with a costal basal streak and 2 longitudinal streaks 
below the costal margin and in the cell, both at the lower margin bordered with black, with a postdiscal streak 
bordered inside with black; hindwing with a basal, discal and postdiscal black transverse band on both sides 
bordered with a bluish green, proceeding from the proximal margin and not reaching the costal margin, except 
the basal band; the bluish-green submarginal streak in the forewing proximally between the veins accompanied 
by black spots, in the hindwing broadly bordered with black. $ above blackish-brown, hindwings somewhat 
lighter, forewing with a proximal half being blue as far as the cell-end, and a whitish postcellular spot, hind wing 
with a blue middle basal part and a whitish costal margin. Salomon Islands. 
H. aristocles Gr. Sm. Allied to H. alyattes (145 a). $. Upper surface white, both wings at the base aristocles. 
in and behind the cell silvery blue, forewing with a greyish-brown, inside darker costal- and distal margin, being 
moderately broad at the costal margin, broader at the distal margin; hindwing likewise with a broad greyish- 
brown distal margin. Under surface in the forewing similar as in alyattes, the brown marginal area without 
a white transverse band, with a double silvery-blue macular series. Hindwing with basal, discal and postdiscal, 
black bands on both sides bordered with silvery blue, the middle one extending from the proximal margin to 
the anterior cell-end, the distal one from the end of the costal margin to beyond the middle of the proximal 
margin; before the submarginal row of blue spots a fourth black band separated from the postdiscal one only 
by a narrow white interspace. Mioko (Duke of York Islands). 
H. antiphon Gr.-Sm. $ above lustrous blue with a violet reflection; forewing at the costal margin antiphon. 
moderately broad, at the distal margin more broadly bordered with black, the apex particularly broad black, 
hindwing with black margins all round. Under surface: forewing at the costal margin, apex and distal margin 
as far as vein 3 reddish-brown; the lower cell-half, the part below and beyond the cell black; a black postdiscal 
oblique band, separated from the brown apical colouring by a narrow white subapical band, extends along 
the posterior part of the distal margin as far as the anal angle; at the costal margin and in the middle of 
the cell one silvery blue longitudinal streak each, at'the cell-end a blue transverse streak, at the beginning 
of the white subapical band some small blue spots, the blue submarginal spots distinctly prominent; inner- 
marginal area below the black colouring white. Hindwing white with a brown costal-marginal streak extending 
from the base not quite to the middle, and a broadly brown marginal area strongly strangulated behind the 
cell and being blackish at the costal margin; the blue submarginal spots distinct, only separated by the veins. 
Marginal scales white, at the ends of the veins spotted brown. Capaur. 
H. herdonius Hew. <$. Forewing above broadly margined with blackish-brown, with an extensive herdonius. 
white inner-marginal spot encircled by blue, hindwing with a white basal half and a blue basal spot, only the 
extreme base light brown, in the blackish-brown marginal half between the veins 2 and 4 three blue longitudinal 
stripes, above vein 4 in front of the border a small blue spot. Under surface deep blackish-brown, forewing
