however, the species is not marked unlike the other Sinthusa: on the dull whitish-grey ground all the markings 
of nasaka are present, but much more distinct, finely bordered with white and considerably increased; beside 
the cell-end stripe another small bordered band extends right across the cell of the forewing; in the hindwing 
there are likewise such shortened bands in the centre of the cell and above the cell, and numerous brown 
punctiform spots edged with light are in the marginal areas on both wings. By this increased marking the 
under surface recalls various small species of Deudorix. Only known from Celebes. 
S. peregrinus Smpr. (157 g). above as privata (157 g), $ uni-coloured blackish-brown with white 
fringes. Beneath similarly coloured and marked as nasaka, but the chains of spots in the marginal area are 
more increased and more intense, in the anal portion of the hindwing of a bright and extensive red. Philippines 
and Palawan. 
S. virgo Elw. is at once recognizable by the light silvery blue upper surface of the $ which shows 
in the forewing and hindwing a broad black costal stripe, in the forewing besides a marginal band of 2% to 
3 mm width. The under surface also looks bleached, the cell-end spot, postdiscal chain, and submarginal 
spots are present, but as if they were effaced, pale and blank. I do not know the $, but it is presumably above 
blackish-brown, beneath like the q. Sikkim. Very rare. 
56. Genus: Suasa Nic. 
Very closely allied to the preceding ones, but separated by the extremely long tails of the hindwings, 
which e. g. in lisides are almost as long as the costa. A remarkable fact is that, in spite of the lively activity 
of these small insects, these long and most delicate formations are not immediately flown off. But very few 
forms are reckoned hereto. 
S. lisides Hew. (157 h) is one of the neatest lepidopterft, most delicate and with a magnificent colouring. 
The forewing is in the disc (in the $ somewhat broader) of a deep orange-red colour with a dark marginal band 
of about 3 mm width, widening very much in the apical district. Hindwing in the £ lustrous sky-blue except 
the black apical third, in the $ brown, in the anal region marked white. The under surface is white, the fore wing 
at the base yellow, at the margin and before the apex orange. The species is distributed over the greatest part 
of continental India and mostly rare, and therefore presumably in many places not yet captured. To this 
species and the following suessa probably the genus Tam,ala is very closely allied; some ? $ of the two groups 
are remarkably similar. 
S. suessa Nic. (157 h) is smaller, almost like a Sinthusa ; the tails are neither so long as in lisides. 
Easily discernible by the disc of the forewing not being red, but in the <$ lustrous blue and in the $, which I 
do not know, presumably dark brown. Malacca and Sumatra; very rare. 
S. liris Stgr., from Palawan, is easily separated from suessa by the <$ of the latter showing a miniate 
disc of the forewing, which is absent in liris. The under surface of liris besides exhibits only 2 black spots in 
the anal portion of the hindwing, and a proximal transverse line extending a little upward at the hind-margin; 
the brown margin of the forewing is narrower, too. 
S. madaura Fruhst. is not lying before me. Only the $ is described. Forewing above with a 
centrally somewhat strangulated ochreous median band; on the hindwing 2 black, white-edged, very thin 
tails. Under surface white, similar to that of lisides , but the hindwing without the black subbasal spot of lisides 
and suessa. Tonkin. 
57. Genus: Chliaria Mr. 
The Chliaria already form a transition to the following genus, the Hypolycaena, but are distinguished 
by the costal vein anastomosing with the 1st subcostal branch. The subcostal vein has only three branches, 
whereby they are distinguished from the Sinthusa (with 4 branches of the subcostal vein. We have already 
spoken above about the little separ, ting value of the latter criterion. 
Ch. othona Hew. ($ = eltola Hew.) (Vol. I, pi. 72 c). The typical form having been dealt with in 
the 1st volume (p. 261) penetrates in Kashmir into its palearctic part. In India it is distributed over the greatest 
part of India proper to the Andamans and Burma; in Ceylon, however, it has, to the best of my knowledge, 
not yet been taken. The $ is above quite uni-coloured brown, similar to our figure of amabilis (157 i) lacking 
the white on the hindwing. — matiana Fruhst. (157 h as mathiana), from Tonkin, is above duller blue. The 
black bordering of the forewing is proximad irregularly defined, the hindwing with a narrower black margin. 
Under surface as on the figure of othona in Vol. I. -— It was also discovered in Java, in a somewhat different- 
form. — Larva of the usual woodlouse shape, but all the indentations are more pronounced; green with 
a rosy red dorsal line, at the anal end with 2 distinct protuberances; on orchids. Pupa smooth, greenish-grey 
with dull whitish markings. 
Ch. kina Hew. (157 h) is larger, the light blue above extends in the forewing much nearer to the 
apex and costa; the $ with discal brightenings on both wings. Himalaya to Assam. The species is rare, and
