LYCAENESTHES. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
oo. Forewing beneath with a more distinct lighter yellowish area in 1 b (and 2) near the 
anal angle. L. lusones. 
**. Hindwing above almost entirely orange or with a yellow area or at least with a transverse row 
of yellow spots. 
§. Tne arrangement of the discal spots and of the other markings beneath as in all the preceding 
species of this group. The discal spots do not form a coherent dark transverse band; 
the discal spot 1 b of the forewing is situate at or before the middle of area 1 b and is more 
or less broadly separated from the discal spot 2. 
o. Hindwing above only at the margin orange. Forewing above with the veins 1, 2 to 4, 
6 and 7 bordered with yellow and besides in area 2 at the base and margin more or less 
yellow. The proximal border-line of the central spot and the distal one of the basal 
spot in both wings separated. L. radiata. 
oo. Hindwing above in the centre more or less extensively orange. Veins of forewing not 
bordered with yellow. 
|. Hindwing above only with a narrow yellow discal band formed of spots of the areas 
1 c to 4. The proximal border-line of the central spot and the distal one of the 
basal spot in both wings united into a white spot in the discal cell. L. bitje. 
tt- Hindwing above at least with a large yellow central area, often almost entirely 
orange. 
X. Forewing above at the costal margin at least as far as the discal cell and vein 
6 broad black; the black marginal band at least 1 x / 2 mm broad and posteriorly 
not narrowed. 
+. Hindwing above with an orange central area covering the basal part 
of the areas 2 to 5 and the apex of the cell, but without yellow markings 
at the margin. Border-lines beneath expanded and united, pale yellow, 
not white; spots black. L. locuples. 
+ +. Hindwing with an orange central area and similar marginal band which 
are either separated by a black line or almost entirely united. The 
marginal band with black marginal dots in all or nearly all the areas. 
—. Border-lines purely white, very broad, forming a white ground 
on which the black spots are distinctly prominent. Discal spots 
2 to 6 of forewing all black, forming a coherent band. 
L. erythropoecila. 
■—-—. Border-lines as usually for the greater part separate. Discal spots 
2 to 6 of forewing not in a coherent row and not all coloured 
the same. 
1. The reddish-yellow area of the forewing above is rounded, 
and the black marginal band therefore much broader towards 
the apex of the wing. L. leptines. 
L. makala. 
2. The reddish-yellow area of the forewing above is very large, 
towards the apex of the wing extended, so that the marginal 
band is almost equally broad. L. mahota. 
XX. Forewing above almost entirely reddish-yellow with a fine, black marginal 
line and a fine black costal-marginal band. 
+. The black costal-marginal band of the forewing above equally broad, 
about 1 mm broad; the marginal band posteriorly tapering. The 
black costal-marginal band of the hindwing above is broadly continued 
at the distal margin as far as vein 4. L. lychnaptes . 
+ The black costal-marginal band of the forewing above very narrow 
and in the middle entirely or almost entirely interrupted; that of the 
hindwing posteriorly bordered by vein 6. 
1. Apex of forewing above 2 to 3 mm broad black. L. pyroptera. 
L. leptala. 
2. Apex of forewing above only very finely black. L. scintillula. 
L. aurea.
