<J ? . One of the darkest of all forms of A'. Iiehe as regards the uppevside. 



U/>j/erside. Forewing: the pale blue scaling at the outside of the discal baud 



proper only 2i— :> mm. wide at SM'-, the white area from M' to midway to M- not 

 broader than below, its outer edge from M' — SJI- very slightly irregular. Hind- 

 wing : black marginal area almost of even width (taken as a whole), not interrupted, 

 5 mm. wide at R', narrower at anal angle ; the white discal area sinuate between all 

 the veins, especially obviously so between C and 11' ; admarginal spots (except anal 

 one) all very obscure, with few bluish wliite scales, in ? slightly more obvious, 

 yellowish. 



Umlerskle. Forewing : discal band of S at M- about as broad as dark outer 



region, in ? li mm. wider ; black median bar bordering detached white spot R' — 



R- heavy, sometimes joining discal bar which stands at the outside of that spot. ■ 



Hindwing : discal band (which in ? reaches a little beyond M-) 1 mm. narrower at 

 costal margin than dark outer area measured along C, its outer edge from C to R^ 

 almost straight, crossing M- H((?)or2(?) mm. from base of M- ; discal and post- 

 discal black bars heavier than in Java form, especially the postdiscal bars C — SO- 

 and R=— R^ 



Anterior tarsus black above at base. 



Hab. Singapore, 'i S S , \ ? (received from Herr Fruhstorfer). 



It must be stated that the specimens from which this peculiar form was 

 described were obtained by Herr Fruhstorfer from the Museum at Singajwre ; it is, 

 therefore, not quite beyond all doubt that the habitat of tliis form is Singapore 

 (compare also E. hebe chersonesujs). 



Easily distinguished from the forms inhabiting Sumatra and the Malay 

 Peninsula by the broad black marginal area of the hindwing ; it comes in this 

 character closest to the sjiecimens of K. liebc from Bali, but in these the white area 

 of the hindwing above is not deeply sinuate between the veins, and the discal band 

 of the underside is considerably broader both on fore- and hindwing. From the 

 Boruean K. hebe (iniu/meiles it differs, int<-r alia, in the much less extended white 

 scaling of the forewing above from M- to internal margin, in tlie broader black 

 marginal area of the liindwing, and the almost straight u]ij)or portion (C — R') of tlie 

 outer edge of the discal band of tlie hindwing below.
