The Malaccan specimen here figured has been identified and recorded by Mr. Butler as 

 Felder 's species. The following is a copy of the original description : — 



" (? . Alae supra obscure violaceo-cyaue;e, margine externo perangusto I'usco, subtus omne.s dilute 

 fuscffi, anticiB intus pallidiores, maculis duabus anuularibus in cellula, tertia infra venam medianam, 

 fasciola discocellulari, fascia exterioru abbreviata cateuulari fracta alteraque maculari submarginali fuudo 

 pauUo saturatioribus, multo dilutius cinctis, posticte macula in costas lobulo, tribus basalibus, quarta 

 interna, quinta subcostali, sexta majore cellulari anuularibus, septima infra banc, vix cordata, fasciola 

 discocellulari fasciaque externa a margine bene distante macularum subtriangularium fuudo saturatioribus, 

 multo dilutius cinctis, fascia pone medium, cateuulata, apud ramum mediauum primum valde fracta et per 

 striolam cum fasciola juncta, postice sursum flexa, fuudo pauUo saturatiore (maculis duabus supremis ejus 

 plane separatis, anuularibus), maculis duabus aualibus nigris, metallico-cyaneo introrsum limitatis et 

 maculis totidem obsoletis nigris, atomis albidis intus cinctis insedentibus." 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Malacca (Com. de Castelnau — coll. Feld. ; Pinwill — Brit. Mus.). 



9. Narathura aroa. (Tab. XXIII., fig. 17.) 



Ainblypodia Aroa, Hewitson, III. Diurn. Lep. p. 18, n. GO, t. 2, L 12 (1863) ; Butl. Traus. Liuu. Soc. ser. 2, 

 Zool. vol. i. p. 548, n. 9 (1877). 



This is another species not yet obtained Ijy the writer from the Malay Peninsula. The 

 specimen figured was collected by Capt. Pinwill in Malacca, and I append the description as 

 given by Mr. Hewitson : — 



o 



" L'pperside. Male- — Violet-blue: the margins rcnj narrow, black." 



" Underside rufous-brown. Anterior wing with the baud of nearly equal breadth, slightly curved." 



Exp. 17o inch. 



Hajb.— Malay Peninsula; Malacca (Pinwill— Brit. Mus.).— Sumatra (coll. Wallace— Hewits.). 



Mr. Hewitson also remarks, "A. Aroa is very nearly allied to A. Hijiwrnuta ; ' the blue of its 

 upperside is less brilliant, and the spots and bands of the underside appear to be much wider 

 apart. A. Htjpomuta seems, on the posterior wing, as if covered throughout with spots, the 

 spaces between the bands and spots having nearly the same appearance as the usual spots and 

 bands themselves have."
