HYPOCHRYSOPS. By Dr. K. Grunberg. 
with a large white inner-marginal spot, hindwing with a broad white median band; the silvery green markings 
consist in the forewing of a broad costal-marginal band interrupted by the black veins and turning round before 
the apex as far as half the distal margin, and 6 streak-shaped submarginal spots, in the hindwing of a basal 
streak extending at the costal margin as far as the white band, an incomplete exterior border of the white band, 
a postdiscal band not quite reaching the costal margin and enclosing a black streak, and a submarginal streak 
extending across the whole width of the wing. The marking beneath is very much like that of the Thysonotis- 
species of the dam’s-group. Aru Islands. 
heros. H. heros Gr.-Sm. (145 c). <$. Ground-colouring above deep blackish-brown, marking similar as in 
herdonius Hew., the white area on the posterior half of the wing narrower and less extensive, posteriorly and 
distally more broadly bordered with blue, the cell in its whole extent occupied by a lustrous blue longitudinal 
streak; in the hindwing the white subbasal band is broad and extended along the proximal margin, but still 
narrower than in herdonius, the large blue area following it is four-sided, extending almost to the distal margin, 
only traversed by the black veins. Under surface similar to that of theophanes, the costal and distal margins of the 
forewing blackish-grey, the cell with the part behind it black, so that a long-stretched straight black band 
is formed extending from the base as far as near the distal margin; its broad metallic bluish-green bordering 
runs along the whole anterior margin, turning round at the exterior end and running back at the lower margin 
as far as the cell-end, from where it is continued only as a narrow line to the base; the part situate behind the 
black streak as far as the proximal margin and near the distal margin is white; before the border bluish-green 
submarginal spots. Hindwings black, the broad white oblique band is somewhat curved and on both sides 
bordered with a metallic bluish-green; the bluish-green costal border extends to the white band; on the posterior 
black half of the wing a broad bluish-green band extending from the proximal margin as far as near the distal 
margin and being irregularly defined. Along the distal margin a coherent green marginal stripe. German 
New Guinea (Humboldt Bay). 
theon. H. theon Fldr. $ smaller than doleschallii (145 b). The blue colouring above somewhat lighter, the 
black border of the forcwing uniformly broad at t he costal margin, considerably broader at the apex; at the 
posterior margin of the cell a rather broad whitish longitudinal diffuse patch extending to the black apical 
colouring; the costal basal area of the hindwing white. Under surface: the white inner-marginal spot 
in the forewing extending less far in front than in doleschallii, the black colouring at the costal margin 
and particularly at the apex broader; below the costal margin 2 metallic-green longitudinal streaks, the 
first from the base to the middle of the wing, the second somewhat beyond the middle, but toAvards 
the base not reaching as far as the base, a third one at the anterior margin of the cell, only beginning in the 
middle of the cell and extending a little beyond the end; in the black apical part 2 green transverse 
bands, the proximal one broken up into spots; the green submarginal streak interrupted at the veins. Hindwing 
with a distinct white transverse band extending to the end of the costal margin; the black subbasal band at 
the proximal margin broad, at the costal margin tapering, anteriorly bordered by the green basal streak, separated 
from the white band by a narrow green border; the black discal and postdiscal streaks extending only from 
the proximal margin to the middle of the Aving, on both sides bordered with green, the latter streak composed 
of 2 separate spots, the space between the tAvo black bands and the white one densely strewn with green scales; 
the distal green border of the postdiscal band outside accompanied by a greyish-brown streak, the marginal 
area black, the green submarginal streak uniform. Halmaheira; Aru Islands. 
theonides. H. theonides Gr.-Sm. (145 b). $ above similar to theon Fldr. blackish-brown. The distinct AAdnte 
spot at the end of the cell in the forewing much smaller; the basal part of the proximal margin as far as half 
the cell tinted dirty whitish, hindwing at the costal margin slightly lighter. Under surface of the foreAA r ing at 
the costal and distal margins broad black with a narrow yellowish-broAvn submarginal band extending from 
the costal margin to vein 3, and a similar marginal line; the large white inner-marginal spot less extensive than 
in theon- $; below the costal margin and in the cell a silvery bluish-green longitudinal streak, both united in 
the middle of the wing, the upper one, however, being continued in a boAv doAvn to vein 3, where it is united 
with a similarly coloured interrupted streak coming from the costal margin; close before the border likewise 
a lustrous bluish-green line extending from the costal margin to vein 2. Hindwing black, the white oblique 
band crossing the wing narrower than in theon, above and at the basal half of the lower margin narrowly bordered 
with bluish-green; costal margin as far as the middle bordered with bluish-green, on the posterior half of the 
wing 2 bluish-green longitudinal bands proceeding from the proximal margin and being united before the distal 
margin; above the distal half of the anterior band some bluish-green spots, close in front of the border a bluish- 
green line. Island of Ron. 
theophanes. H. theophanes Gr.-Sm. (145 c). G wings broader and above more reddish-blue than in the closely 
allied theon Fldr., the black border of the Avings narrower. The white median longitudinal stripe in the forewing 
much less extensive. On the under surface the posterior half of the forewing is white, the loAver black arcuate 
line proceeding from the costal margin and extending from the base as far as near the distal margin is broader 
than in theon and uninterruptedly all round bordered with a silvery bluish-green, at its end a similar, large 
spot and bluish-green submarginal spots in the blackish-brown marginal area. Hindwings very much like in 
theon, the black basal band broader, the black submarginal band likewise in the middle broader, the white 
oblique band on both sides bordered with a metallic bluish-green, the anterior one of the tAvo green metallic 
bands short, extending little beyond the middle, the posterior one broad, extending to the costal margin and
