and Ternate, with these characteristics more or less developed, and therefore the name 

 should fall, as it is quite impossible to draw a line between this and typical micale, 

 and all occur indiscriminately in the same districts. 



Staudinger's reference of amytis to this species leads me to say that micale can be at 

 once separated from amytis by the rounder apex, narrow black outer margin, the fuller 

 secondaries, the intense blue of the upper surface, and the strong brown tint of the 

 under surface. 



It appears to be confined to the Malay Islands. I have seen no specimens from 

 Queensland, where it may be replaced by Hewitson's species amytis. The figures given 

 by Hewitson (Cat. Lycamidae, I. c.) do not belong to this insect, but to his adatha.

Hab. Trobriand and Fergusson Islands.

d . Upperside : both wings dark purplish blue; primaries with linear costal and 

 outer margins; secondaries with a broad costa and linear outer margin, fold ample, 

 greyish. Tail fairly stout, white-tipped. Underside: both wings warm brown washed 

 with purplish, with darker spots palely edged. Primaries with three increasing cell- 

 spots, the first one very small, below the third a largish one in the lower median angle ; 

 transverse band composed of six confluent spots, each increasing in size up to the fifth 

 spot, which latter is very large, the sixth spot tapers slightly towards the lower median 

 nervule, the first four spots are outwardly oblkpje, the fifth and sixth, have their inner 

 margins shifted well inwards, and below these is another smaller spot shifted inwards ; 

 submedian area paler; submarginal row fairly distinct, marginal row dark and almost 

 coalescing with the submarginal in its upper part. Secondaries with a small spot at 

 the extreme base of the costa and four small basal spots, the third shifted well out- 

 wards, followed by three large spots below each other, the lowest one being elongated 

 somewhat outwardly ; cell closed by a large subquadrate spot, below which is another 

 in the submedian angle connecting it with the elongated spot just mentioned; trans- 

 verse band composed of eight large spots, the first two extremely large, touching the 

 spot closing the cell, the third shifted well outwards, fourth slightly out, fifth with its 

 inner margin shifted far inwards, touching the bottom edge of the spot closing the cell, 

 sixth spot shifted slightly outwards and larger, seventh angular spot very large and 

 confluent with the eighth very large rather long spot; submarginal row indefinite ; 

 marginal row narrow, just below the apex is a patch of dark brown clouding; a black 

 spot at the anal angle edged above with bright metallic-blue scales, which are also 

 scattered more or less along the margin up to and just beyond the tail. 



$. Upperside: both wings brighter blue and paler than in the male. Primaries 

 with a broad blackish costa, increasing in width beyond the apex of the cell ; outer 

 margin very broad ; secondaries with a very broad blackish costa and a rather broad
