AMBLYPODIA GROUP OF THE LYC.KMU.K. 149 



I have described this species from an example taken by Herr Fruhstorfer on Gede 

 Mountain in Western Java at an altitude of about 4000 feet.

6. Upperside: both wings submetallic violet-lilac, in a side light more distinctly 

 lilacine ; primaries with exceedingly tine linear brownish margins ; secondaries with 

 the costa broadly brownish and the posterior linear margin exceedingly fine. Under- 

 side : both wings brown, with a somewhat bronzy lustre, with darker spots and fascia? 

 palely edged. Primaries with a minute spot beyond the centre of the cell, which is closed 

 by a larger one; transverse fascia oblique and curved, ending on the lower median 

 nervure, this fascia is quite broad at its end but tapers upward to a very narrow line at 

 the costa ; submarginal row very obscure ; subdiscal area dark, two semi-confluent small 

 duts are beneath the origin of the lower median nervule ; submedian area very slightly 

 paler. Secondaries with all markings much darker, four very minute somewhat indis- 

 tinct basal dots, followed by three spots below each other, the upper two being very 

 small indeed, the lower one larger; cell closed by an elongated good-sized spot, from 

 which up to the costa runs an equally broad straight stripe shifted slightly outwards 

 and also slightly outwardly oblique; transverse band from the tipper discoidal to the 

 internal nervure composed of two very small spots, the third spot is larger and shifted 

 inwards, fourth larger still and shifted outwards, fifth right inwards and confluent with 

 the long sixth spot; anal angle with a small dark dot followed by a very slight brilliant 

 green-metallic scaling, over which is an irregular whitish stripe. Tail short, very stout, 

 blackish, tipped with white ; fringes scalloped with white on each side of the tail. 



. Upperside: both wings purplish blue; primaries with a blackish spot closing 

 the cell and a broad black costa, yet broader outer margin, and broader still apical area ; 

 secondaries with extremely broad margins all round, the costa being the broadest. 

 Underside like that of the male. 



This species is entirely distinct from any others that I know and appears to be 

 confined to the island of Borneo.
