341. Lyc2Enesthes LYCiENiNA, Felder. 
Both species of this genus inhabit the plains, and do not occur at- 
the higher elevations. They are common in May near Selesseh on 
forest roads. L. lycaenina is the rarer of the two species, and Dr. Mar¬ 
tin obtained no female of either. ' 
342. NlPHANDA TESSELLATA, Moore. 
Habitat : Penang, Malay Peninsula; N.-E. Sumatra. 
Expanse : d*, 1*5 inches. 
Description : Male. Upperside, both unrigs dark shining purple, 
with a narrow anteciliary black thread. Hindwing with a round mar¬ 
ginal black spot in the first median interspace. Underside, both wings 
marked as in the female, but the ground-colour much darker. j 
The specimen desciibed above was caught by Dr. Martin in his 
fingers on the Penang Hill in December, 1892, resting on a flower. In 
Sumatra he has obtained one female at the Saentis Estate, very near the 
sea, in Apiil, and a second at Namoe Oekor in August. 
343. Everes argiades, Pallas. 
Snellen as parrlmsius. Hagen as parrhasius. It has been described 
by Plerr N. Kheil from Nias as Blebeius polysperchinus. In Sumatra it 
is common at low elevations in October and November ; as usual the 
males on roads, the females on flowers in small jungle. In his valuable 
work on the Bhopalocera of Nias Island, Herr Kheil calls Polyommatus 
boeticus , Linnaeus, the “ cardui ” of the Lycsenidse, but E. argiades better 
deserves that epithet as it has a still greater range, occurring in North 
America under a slightly modified form (as E. comyntas, Godart), which 
P. boeticus does not do. Dr. Martin notes that European specimens of 
E. argiades have the spots on the underside of the wings somewhat more 
prominent than in Sumatran examples.
