Description: ‘* Allied to P. [=A.] ganesa, Moore. MALE. Uppersipr, doth wings with 
similar blue discal areas, that on the forewing being confined more to the base. UNDER- 
SIDE, both wings dark brown. Forewing with similar but much darker and broader markings, 
which have whiter borders, the interspace between the second and third cell-spots, and 
between the latter and the discal band of the same dark brown as the wing, not white as 
in P. ganesa. Hindwing with very similar markings, but all dark brown and with white 
borders, anal lunules blue-speckled. FrmMaLe. Uppersipr, bo/h wings with darker blue, 
extending from the base broadly over the discal area. UNDERSIDE. Both wings as in 
the male.” (JZoore, 1. c.) 
The points of difference between 4. birmana (burmana would be more correct) and 
A. ganesa seem to me to be greater than the points of resemblance. The much darker colour of 
the ground on the underside, and the presence of the blue-speckled anal lunules on 
that side of the hindwing, should make this species of easy recognition to any one possessing 
specimens of 4. ganesa. It is quite unknown to me. It is one of the smallest species of 
this group.

DESCRIPTION: ** MALE. UPPERSIDE, Jo¢h wings morpho-blue, the margins with a narrow 
border of brown. UNDERSIDE, both wings rufous, Sorewing with the basal spots scarcely 
seen, the transverse band of nearly equal breadth, curved out and in. Ainzdwing with the 
band represented by indistinct spots in pairs, the anal angle with two bright spots of 
silvery-blue, one large and oblong, the other apart from it and small. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth 
wings like the male, except that it is of a lighter blue, with the margins broad.” (Hezwi/tson, 1. c.) 
“This is a distinct species from MV. epimuta, Moore, the type of which is from Borneo.” 
(Moore, \. c-) 
I have not seen this species. From the description it should be easily recognised. The 
male is motpho-blue on the upperside with a narrow black border, the female, as figured, is of 
a very light shade of blue, the black border on the hindwing a full tenth of an inch broad, 
still broader (especially at the apex) in the forewing and well-defined. The markings of the 
underside appear to be very regular and well-defined, the discal band of the forewing 
sinuous, but not broken,

Description: ‘* MALE. UpPERSIDE, oth wings light cerulean blue, brilliantly metallic, 
outwardly slightly violaceous and less resplendent. Forewing with a slender black line on the 
costa and outer margin. Hindwing blue from the costal to the submedian nervure, a marginal 
black line. UNDERSIDE, b0¢h wings rather dark fuscous-brown, the markings darker, bordered 
by slightly paler lines, only the basal spots annular, the others like parentheses, thus( ).

of the first median interspace; the transverse discal band is rather broad, the first four spots
