281. Arhopala hypomuta, Hew. 
A common species of which a large series was secured. It is found on all 
the hills throughout the district from December to March. 
282. Arhopala metamuta, Hew. 
Taken sparingly at Pagaye, Sabataung and Wagon, on hill-tops, during 
December and January.

Expanse ff 1:6, 2 1-4 inches, 
Description :—Male :—Upper side both wings brilliant morpho blue, 
changing to dull purple in certain lights, the costa and outer margins very 
narrowly black, cilia dusky, the abdominal margin pale fuscus. Underside 
brown, the spots darker and defined with pale lines. Forewing with a small 
round spot at base of cell, a larger oval one in the middle and a still larger 
one at end of cell; a discal fascia composed of five round spots of equal 
size placed three and two, the two, which are the lower, shifted inwards, 
a submarginal series of diffused spots: cilia brown. The area below the 
median nervure and first median nervule paler than the rest of the 
wing. Hindwings brown, three small round basal spots, a small spot on 
the costa, a large oval spot in the cell with a still larger round spot below ; 
a very large quadrate spot at end of cell. A discal series of spots, commenc- 
ing at the costa, a little beyond the middle and ending on the abdominal 
margin, composed of eight spots, the first six rounded, the last two linear; 
this fascia is strongly broken at the fifth spot, whichis shifted inwards a sub- 
marginal series of diffused spots ; three marginal black spots crowned with 
brilliant metallic green scales, the middle spot the largest ; anal lobe small, 
black; body above dark brown beneath whitish. Female :—.Upperside 
light, shining blue, the margins broadly brown. Forewing, the costa increasing 
to the apex, where it is very wide, about a third of the wing, and the outer 
margin decreasingly broadly fuscus. Hindwing: the costal margin broadly 
and exterior margin less broadly fuscus. Underside as in male. 
284. Arhopala oberthuri, Std. 
Several specimens of both sexes taken on Kalataung, 1,700’, and on Pagaye 
hill 600’, during December and January 1919-20. 
285. Arhopala cumolphus fraquhari, Dist. 
Males extremely common on hill-tops especially so on Pagaye hill, 600’, 
but females are very scarce. During December and the early part of January 
1919-20, this butterfly appeared in great numbers on the top of Pagaye hill. 
They always put in an appearance about 4 p.m. and could be seen sitting 
with out spread wings on the leaves of trees in patches of sunlight. They 
indulge in much fighting, not only among themselves, but with any other 
insect that happens to pass by and in this respect are very different to the other 
members of this genus. The flash of metalic green from their wings as they 
flitted about in the rays of the sun was a fine sight and could be seen from 
a distance, 
286. Arhopala diardi, Hew. 
Several specimens of both sexes were caught on Sabataung, 400’, and also 
on Kalataung, 1,500’, during December 1919. 
287. Arhopala anniella, Hew. 
An uncommon species of which I secured several males and a few females 
at Kalachaung in March 1917 and on Pagaye hill, 600’, in December 1919. 
It appears to be identical with A. artegal, Doh., and is near to A. chinensis, 
Felder— A. moelleri, DeN., which latter is probably only the Indian form. 
The shape of the forewings in the males appear to vary to some extent, as i 
have two specimens in which the fore wings are elongated and pointed at 
the apex.
