somewhat similar, but the male has no blue border to the hinJwing ; the dcsciiption* is appended 

 or reference. 



Third Section. Males with the body very robust, the antennre very long, more than half 

 the length of the wing, the wings short, powerful, the apex of forewing acutely pointed, the 

 anal angle of hindwing acutely pointed, and somewhat produced. The third subcostal ncrvule 

 of the forewing arises nearer to the end of the cell in the typical species of this section than in 

 the preceding. 



The first two species have many features which approximate to the preceding section ; 

 the body is only moderately robust, and the outline of the wings is intermediate between the 

 two ; but the males have no blue border on the hindwing on the upperside, and scarcely 

 a trace of blue rings to the marginal spots on the underside. The femaks so far as known 

 have the underside of the hindwing broadly suffused with pale blue as in the preceding section, 

 but the dark markings are far more prominent, and the outer discal line is highly lunulate and 

 continued distinctly to the abdominal margin of the hindwing.

Description: "Male: Upperside yellowish olive-brown, with two indistinct zig-zag 

 lines crossing the disc of both tvitigs, and markings about the base of the wings blackish. 



with a submarginal medial zig-zag blackish line along its whole length. Underside dusky ochreous, most 

 dusky about the outer margins ; two transverse zigzag lines and discoidal marks blackish." The female is 

 unknown. 



" May be distinguished from the male of .<4. [=£.'] salia in having the band on the outer margin of hind- 

 wing blue, whereas in A. salia the inner half is pure white." (Moore, 1. c.) 



"The nebulous gloss on the disc of the wings in this species varies from bluish green to violet grey ; its 

 nearestally is A. \=E,\ salia [from Java], but the two insects are abundantly distinct." (Butler, 1. c.)

 and a broad medial transverse fascia, which is outwardly dentate and anteriorly bifurcate from median nervure to 

 near costa, dark brown ; before and a little after the upper portion of this fascia the colour is paler than the remain- 

 ing outer portion of wing, which contains a submarginal waved and broken black line not reaching posterior 

 angle, where there is a dark brown patch ; there are also two basal black lines. Hindwing with the cell 

 crossed by four black lines and a submarginal series of narrow linear black spots placed between the nervules. 

 Underside pale greenish, suffused with ochraceous. ./^t;?rui/«^ with the cell crossed by some black lines and 

 a similar waved and broken line near its apex ; two spots beneath cell divided by the first median nervule ; a 

 waved submarginal narrow black fascia starting from a subapical fuscous patch, which contains two whitish 

 spots, and is inwardly margined by the same colour. Hindiving paler ; cell crossed by a looped line near its 

 middle and a curved line near its apex — above the last is a short line beneath the base of lower subcostal 

 nervule, a bent line above that nervule, and a looped Ime beneath the base of costal nervure ; two discal narrow 

 waved ochraceous fascias, the outer one more distinct, from which to outer margin the colour is darker. Body 

 and legs more or less concolourous with wings. Female. Upperside pale brownish. /^cr<rw/«^ with the cell 

 crossed by four blackish lines, and with a curved line near apex ; beneath the cell are two spots divided by the 

 first median nervule, the inner one larger ; a transverse series of contiguous, linear, greyish spots only divided 

 by the nervules, their inner apices conical and outwardly margined with a waved and sinuated narrow dark 

 brown fascia ; the two upper spots divided by the upper discoidal nervule are longest, and are preceded by a 

 small whitish subcostal spot, the third spot is shorter than the fourth and fifth, and the lower one beneath the first 

 median nervule is short and notched internally ; all these spots are more or less sufi"used with pale brownish, 

 and the first, fourth and fifth possess an inner brown looped line. Hindwing with two pairs of looped lines 

 crossing cell, the transverse series of large greyish spots as on forewing, but not extending to abdominal 

 margin, and with their outer margins defined by a more angulated and inwardly dentate narrow fascia, which 

 is again outwardly margined with greyish, thus dividing the outer dark margin into inwardly angulated spots. 

 Underside with the basal halves pale ochraceous ; cell of forewing marked as above ; cell of hindwing with 

 the looped lines and adjacent markings as in corresponding wing of male ; the transverse series of spots more 

 fused than above, the greyish colour extending to outer margin." 



"The female, as Mr Butler has remarked, bears a striking resemblance to a species of the next genus, 

 Tanai'cia pulasara, which is also found in this fauna." (Distant, 1. c.) 



* " Some confusion is likely to arise from a consultation of the original description of this species. Mr. Butler 

 (Cist. Ent., vol. i, p. 29, 1S70) described a male specimen from Borneo and a female specimen from Penang 

 under the above name, and afterwards figured the first in his ' Lepid. Exot.,' pi. Ix, fig. 5. On subsequently 

 receiving both sexes from Malacca, he wrote (Trans. Linn. Soc, Zoology, second seriet, vol. i, p. 539 (1877), 

 " 1 find that the male from Borneo figured in my ' Lepidoptera Exotica' is a distinct species," thus electing to 

 make the Penang female the type, of which the Only description is— ' /wrti'f. Both Wings coloured as in 

 'J'anaccia pulasara. (Vislant, 1, c.)
