19. ARHOPALA AMATRIX, n. sp., PL G, Figs. 23, 6 ; 24, $ . 



Habitat : Burma. 



Expanse : d , 2"0 to 2*2 ; $ , 2'2 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, forewing shining ultramarine- 

 blue, the costa narrowly, the outer margin broadly — especially at the 

 apex — black. Hindwing with an elongated basal patch of shining 

 ultramarine-blue occupying the whole of the discoidal cell and 

 extending beyond it on all sides, crossed by the black veins ; 

 the costa, outer, and abdominal margins broadly fuscous ; tail 

 broad, rather long, fuscous, tipped with white, a small tooth- 

 like projection from the termination of the second, and a smaller 

 one still from the third median nervule. Underside, both icings 

 brown washed with pale lavender. Forewing with a small rounded 

 dark white -ringed spot towards the base of the discoidal cell, a larger 

 one across the middle, and a still larger one closing the end of the cell, 

 its outer edge very irregular ; a rounded spot at the base of the first 

 median interspace ; an elongated brown streak or band in the sub- 

 median interspace, occupying its basal three-fourths ; a discal macular 

 band of five rounded spots, the middle one cordate, much out of line 

 with the rest, shifted outwardly ; two obscure marginal bands. 

 Hindwing with four subbasal rounded spots extending across the 

 wing, another spot in the costal interspace, touching the costal 

 nervure, one in the middle of the cell ; a highly irregular discal 

 bifurcated macular band ; a waved submarginal band, and a 

 marginal obscure band bearing from the second median nervule 

 to the anal angle some very obscure dark green metallic scales ; 

 anal lobe bearing a prominent round deep brown (almost fuscous) 

 spot. Female. Upperside, forewing with the blue coloration much 

 more restricted than in the male, bounded anteriorly sharply by the 

 disco-cellular nervules. Hindwing as in the male. Underside, both 

 wings as in the male. 



Close to A. amantes, Hewitson, from Ceylon and the continent of 

 India, from which it differs in the blue coloration of the upperside 

 being much more restricted in both sexes, and in the outer
