veuing less-defined green-speckles to the vein points. Eindwing with a very broad 

 outer-discal sinuous-edged band, whicli is violescent-blue anteriorly merging into 

 greenish-blue posteriorly, crossed by black veins, and bearing a submarginal row of 

 small black spots, which are either conical or somewhat quadrate, the outer black

 very dark brown, the anal angle greyish. Underside very dark greenish or sap-brown. 

 Forewing with the basal and posterior area bluish-black ; with two pairs of large 

 prominent bluish-white cell-spots, discocellular spots, two inner lower discal spots, 

 outer-discal and apical spots, and lower submarginal spots. Eindwing with small 

 greenish-white cell-spots and a curved discal series of seven spots ; submarginal 

 blackish points very indistinct. 



Female. Upperside olivescent-black. Both wings with prominent olivescent- 

 white spots disposed as in A. Khasiana, with the submarginal black spots more 

 broadly greenish-blue bordered. Underside dark sap-green. Forewing with the 

 posterior area greenish-black ; all the spots large and all olivescent-white. Eindwing

Expanse, c? 4<^q to Ai-^q, ? 5 to S^-q inches. 



Habitat. — Assam ; Khasias ; Silhet ; Cachar, 



Distribution. — "Mr. S. E. Peal has obtained it at Sibsagar in Upper Assam, 

 and Mr. J. L. Sherwill at Jorehat, also in Assam. There are specimens in the 

 Indian Museum, Calcutta, from Silhet and the Khasia Hills " (de Niceville, I.e. 

 191). Colonel 0. Swinhoe records it as "common in the Khasias" (Tr. Ent. Soc. 

 1893, 284). Mr. J. Wood-Mason took "two males in Cachar, in forests around 

 Silcuri, in August" (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 3G0). Major Godwin-Austen obtained it 

 at Jatinga, North Cachar. The specimen in the British Museum, labelled " Borneo," 

 is undoubtedly an incorrect locality.
