E. cyanea .s per. nov. (8i). Body metallic green; antennae before the ends and the tarsi yellowish white. 
Forewings metallic bine with several transparent streaks from the base to the middle and a row of transparent 
streaks about the end of the cell; all veins arise from the cell. Hindwings transparent, with brown borders, 
the fringes at the anal angle green. Transparent spots on the forewing undersides with yellow scales. Khasia- 
Hills, Assam; a ? in the Tring Museum, caught in September. 
11. Genus: Loplio§oma Su-inh. 
Resembles Arachotia. Antennae of the cf with long pectinations, thickened at the end and toothed, 
simple in the ?, somewhat deeply folded inwards longitudinally. The abdomen has outstanding tufts along the 
side and at the end. Wings narrow; cell of the forewings with rounded end, all veins arising from the cell; 
in the hindwings the 1 st radial is present, close to the 2 nd subcostal, the 2 nd radial behind the corner of the end 
of cell, the 1 st median removed somewhat far from the rear corner of cell. Rear tibia with two pairs of 
short spurs. India, Andamans. 
L. cuprea Walk. (8i). Forehead, front of collar, rear border of shoulder plates and the borders of the 
first six or seven abdominal rings golden; forewings and the remainder of the upperside of the body blue 
green, faintly shining; forewings with two long streaks at the base, a spot in the apex of cell and a second 
behind it more or less transparent. Hindwings transparent, costal margin and fringes black. Northwest and 
North India; Andamans. 
L. quadricolor Walk. Head and collar blue, abdomen above and below golden copper colored, trans¬ 
parent spots wanting in the forewings. North India. 
12. Genus: Araelaotia Moore. 
Antennae of the cf with the exception of the ends slightly pectinated, simple in the ? and somewhat 
swollen at the end. Forehead arched. Palpi projecting beyond the forehead Rear tibia with one pair of 
spurs. Wings very narrow; all the veins arise from the cell; in the hindwings the 1 st radial is wanting, the 
2 nd radial running close alongside the 2 nd subcostal. India and the Philippines. 
A. flaviplaga Moore (8 i). Side of the brest, underside of the abdomen with the exception of the base 
of each segment and a square spot at the base of the forewings yellow. Upperside of the body and the costal 
margin of the forewings shining blue green. Forewings with three transparent spaces behind the middle and a 
five to seven portioned space before the apex; hindw. mostly transparent, the borders and veins black. North India. 
A. vespoides Moore (8i). Forehead, palpi and sides of the brest whitish yellow, abdomen above with 
yellow, below with whitish yellow bands; the front of the pronotum, a spot on the thorax and a spot near 
to the base of the forewings yellow. Wings transparent, the margins and the borders of the forewing cell 
black, the veins very thinly black. North India. 
A. euglenia spec. nov. (8 k). Antennae and upper sides of the body shining blue green, thorax black 
in the middle; base of the palpi, front legs, sides of the brest and the abdomen white, first and last abdominal 
segments of the ? quite white; remainder of the underside purple brown. Forewings not transparent, greenish 
blue; hindwings transparent with the exception of the costal margin, the fringes black. Underside of the 
forewings black; slightly blue; hindwings shining blue on the costal margin. Khasia Hills Assam, in May, 
June and October; 1 a 71 and 3 ?? in the Tring Museum. 
A. aenea spec. nov. ?: Body above and beneath bluegreen. Forewings green blue, a transparent streak 
behind the cell before the centre; apex, outer margin and veins of the hindwings green blue, remainder 
transparent. Scaling of the undersides of the wings green blue, .especially bright and shining on the hindwings. 
The 2 nd median of the forewings as in euglenia branching far from the end of the cell and the apex of the 
cell rounded; in the hindwings the 2 nd radial is nearer to the 3 rd radial than to the 2 nd subcostal, but before the 
corner of the cross vein (that is before the fold of the cell), hind corner of cell blunt, right angled in the other 
three species. A rubbed specimen (?) from Berge St. Miguel Luzon. Semper mentions a bad specimen of 
Lophosoma quadricolor Walk, from southeast Mindanao, which possibly belongs to this species. In Lophosoma 
the first radial of the hindwings is present and the 2 nd radial arises from behind the corner of the end of cell, 
and the rear tibia bear two pairs of spurs. 
13. Genus: IPiai'OMmia Hemps. 
Antennae in the female slightly pectinated up to the tip, but the last pectinations very short. Forehead 
broadly arched, but only slightly projecting. Palpi just projecting beyond the edge of forehead. Rear tibia 
with two pairs of spurs. The 2 nd median of both wings arises close to the 1 st median; in the forewings the 
2 nd and 3 rd subcostal are stalked; in the hindwings the 1 st radial present. — Two species from China ( djreama 
Oberth. 1893 and hyalina Leech. (1889) and one form Burmah.
