124 ME, G. T. BETHUNE-BAKEE : A REVISION OF THE 



Arhopala cenotria (Hewitson). (Plate III. fig. 3, d .) 

 Ambly podia oenotria Hewitson, 111. Drum. Lep., Lye. p. 14 a, pi. iii c. fig. 56 (1865). 



Hab. Philippine Islands ; Nias ; Borneo. 



Expanse, d & 2 , 41-43 mm. 



d . Upperside : both wings brilliant lustrous bluish violet with excessively fine 

 linear black costa, no black posterior margin, the fringes only being blackish. The 

 same is the case with the secondaries, except that the costa is broadly brown and 

 the abdominal fold is brown ; lobe-spot and tail brown, tipped with white. Underside : 

 both wings brown, more or less with a chestnut tinge, with darker spots having pale 

 borders. Primaries with the three usual discal spots, the second and third having each 

 two small spots over them and one below each ; transverse chain-like fascia consisting 

 of seven spots, one on the costa, the three next shifted right out, the two below 

 inwards, below which is an indefinite spot varying in size; submarginal row distinct. 

 Secondaries with a spot on the extreme basal edge of the costa, with four basal spots, 

 the lowest shifted beyond the internal nervure, followed by three rather larger spots ; 

 cell closed by an almost reniform spot, below which is a small triangular one ; chain- 

 like fascia composed of four pairs of spots, the second pair shifted outwards, third 

 inwards, fourth inwards again and confluent ; submarginal row distinct, a velvety- 

 black lobe-spot and another between the second and lower median nervules, each of 

 which is edged above and in the intervening space with bright blue (occasionally 

 green) metallic scales. 



2 • Upperside : both wings brown, with a small purplish patch over the discal 

 and central area of the wing, reduced in the secondaries almost to the cell itself. 

 Underside as in the male, but the second and third discal spots are linked together 

 by two spots touching the costal margin of each. 



The obliqueness of the first four spots of the transverse band in the primaries varies 

 a good deal, but the species is well marked and easily distinguishable. It has often 

 been confused with agnis Felder, which is a very much larger species.

Hab. Java. 



Expanse, d , 51 mm. 



d . Upperside : both wings pale, very metallic, lilac-blue ; primaries with linear 

 brown costa and finest linear outer margins ; secondaries with broad brown costa and 

 very fine linear outer margins ; abdominal fold pale brownish grey ; tail black, long, 

 tipped with white. Underside pale chestnut-brown, with darker spots palely encircled. 

 Primaries with three increasing cell-spots, between the second and third of which is
