closing llie cell, below which is a small spot in the angle of 

 vein 2 ; catmuhited band irregular, the first and second spots 

 philled right inwards, touching the qiiudiate spot and only 

 just reaching the inner margin of the third spot ; third spot 

 shifted right out, fourth further out, fifth inwards, sixth well 

 out, seventii and eighth confluent and shifted right inwanls; 

 a submarginal band as in the primaries, with a brown spotted 

 ternien ; lobe-spot black, edged above with pale metallic-blue 

 scales ; a dark spot on each side the tail almost covered with 

 pale metallic- blue scales. 

 Ex})anse 37 mm. 



B.-B., but can be easily distinguished from it by the much 

 greater area of blue and by the spots at the end of the cell in 

 the primaries, whilst the underside pattern is different also. 



ArhopaJa baluensis, sp. n. 



(J. Both wings dark sublustrous blue, with termen black, 

 of moderately narrow width. Cinder surface darkish brown : 

 primaries paler along the inner margin, with three increasing 

 cell-spots, that closing the cell irregular; below it another 

 in the angle of vein 2, below which is a third shifted inwards 

 on the other side of vein 2 ; the catenulated postmedial stripe 

 composed of six distinct spots touching one another, that on 

 the costa being quite small and shifteil inwards, fifth shifted 

 very slightly inwards, more perceptibly so as to its inner 

 margin, sixth with an outward inclination ; the subterminal 

 row is rather obscure. Secondaries with four small basal spots 

 below each other, followed by three larger ones below each 

 other ; a quadrate spot closing the cell, with a small elongate 

 one below in the angle of vein 2 ; the catenulated stripe 

 consisting of six distinct spots, the seventh reniform and the 

 eighth elongate, all touching one another except 1 and 2, 

 each of which is isolated ; the fifth spot is shifted very 

 slightly inwards and the seventh reniform spot is also shifted 

 inwards; subterminal row distinct; an anal dark spot 

 covered with dull submctallic blue scales, and a slight trace of 

 them between veins 2 and 3. 



? . Both wings brown : primaries with a paler purplish- 

 blue patch extending just over the upper end and upper part 

 of the cell, but far beyond in the medial area : secondaries 

 with the pale purplish-blue patch extending well into the
