to the hinder margin ; hind wing also metallic green, with a 

 very broad black band, which occupies the greater portion of 

 the wing, including broadly the costal, marginal, and abdo- 

 minal portions ; in reality the whole wing is black, with the 

 exception of the cell and small portions of the interspaces 

 around it, as in A. eumolphits, Cram., but the green runs into 

 the black in sharper angles. 



Underside paler than A. eumolplms, the bands coarser and 

 composed of much larger and redder spots, but disposed 

 much in the same pattern ; a patch of blue-green irrorations 

 at the anal angle of hind wings. 



Expanse of wings 2 T 2 o inches. 



Mandalay, Upper Burmah, 1889. Six examples. 



Allied to A. eumolphus, Cram. ; is of a bluer green colour, 

 and the difference in the size and shape of the marginal black 

 band on fore wings at once distinguishes it. 



2. Rapala damo?ia } n. sp. 



$ . Upperside dark coppery red, very similar in tint to the 

 colour of Deudorix ejnjarbas, Boisd. $ . Fore wing with a 

 very broad blackish- brown marginal band, filling up the 

 whole costal space down to the median vein, by which it is 

 sharply defined, very broad at the apex, filling up very nearly 

 the whole of the first median interspace, nearly as broad on 

 the outer margin as on the costa, slightly curved in its centre, 

 and expanding on to the hinder margin, up which it runs, 

 narrowing towards the base in a diffused form ; the base of 

 the wing is also suffused darkly with brown, the wing being 

 in point of fact black, with a red centre. Hind wing with 

 the abdominal area brown, the entire cell being filled, and 

 the first median branch limiting and sharply defining its lower 

 area; anal lobe brown, marked with red and white; tail 

 brown, with a white tip ; veins on both wings brown, pro- 

 minent; cilia brown, interlined with white round the lobe 

 and up to the second median branch, and pure white on the 

 abdominal border of hind wing. 



Underside ochreous fawn-colour ; a pale line across the end 

 of each cell ; a transverse, discal, slightly sinuous, pale line 

 across both wings, inwardly lined with brownish, curved and 

 bent towards the anal angle of the hind wing (as is usual in 

 this genus), where it is pure white, with a fine black line 

 between the white and the brown ; anal lobe black, with a 

 white spot above it ; a black spot of the size of the lobe on 

 the margin in the first median interspace, with a small reddish 

 space above it, the space from the margin between the spots
