Alphabetical List of the Ethiopian Lycaenidae. 
ethiopica. towards the anal margin it is a little dusted with light grey. Abyssinia. — ethiopica Poulton is very much 
like pseudopMaeas , but, as usually also the palearctic forms, it shows within the red marginal band of the hind¬ 
wing above small, pale dots which are absent in pseudophlaeas. In South West Uganda, and in the district 
between Tanganyika and Ruwenzori. 
abboti. H. abboti Holl. (74 i). Wings above with a lustrous, copper red ground-colour. Forewing with a 
black marginal band of about 2 mm width, a black dot in the discal cell, a thick central spot and 6 discal 
spots which are arranged in three groups (a transverse spot in 1 b, two spots somewhat more towards the margin 
in 2 and 3, and three dots in a bow in 4 to 6). Forewing beneath as above, but without a marginal band 
and with another basal dot in the cell and with black submarginal streaks at least in 1 b to 3. Hindwing 
beneath with a reddish ground-colour on which the spots are indistinctly visible. $ larger with distinct 
spots. In the mountainous districts of Nyassa Land as far as British East Africa. 
orus. H. orus Cr. (74 i). Wings narrower and longer than in the preceding species and at the margin much 
more rounded off. Frons and palpi with whitish or light grey scales. Wings above yellowish-red with a coppery 
lustre, with a black, at the apex somewhat broader marginal band, which in the hindwing is produced by the 
marginal spots being united, and has therefore inward an undulate edge; forewing above with a central spot 
and discal spots and sometimes also with a small dot in the discal cell; hindwing above generally with a transverse 
streak at the end of the cell and with some small discal spots (particularly in 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7); the spot in 
6 is situate right behind the spot in 7, if both are present. Forewing beneath almost as above, but with 
2 dots in the discal cell, at the costal and distal margin bordered with grey, with dark submarginal streaks 
in 1 a to 6. Hindwing beneath grey, a little spotted brown, with very indistinct markings; only the submarginal 
streaks are somewhat more distinct. $ larger with more distinct and completely present discal spots above. 
Cape Colony to Natal and Transvaal; also near Kikuyu in British East Africa.
