AMBLYPODIA. 13 



the very narrow border of the wings of the male and the very broad border of those of the 

 female; on the underside by the transverse band of the male, which has the middle spot pro- 

 jecting outwardly beyond the rest, and by the same band of the female, which has the middle 

 and last spot also projecting outwards.

Upperside. Male. — Anterior wing violet-blue : posterior wing brilliant morpho-blue : the 

 margins broad, dark brown. 



Underside. Anterior wing with the first three spots of the transverse band placed 

 obliquely outwards, the other two spots a little within them and placed transversely. 



Exp. 1| inch.

This species may be readily distinguished from A. Hypomuta by the broad margins and bv 

 the different blue of the anterior and posterior wings. 



60. Amblypodia Aroa, Hewitson. Plate II. <J fig. 12. 



Upperside. Male. — Violet-blue: the margins very narrow, black. 



Underside rufous brown. Anterior wing with the band of nearly equal breadth, slightly 

 curved. 



Exp. 1-j 2 ^ inch. 



In the Collection of A. R. Wallace, from Sumatra. 



I have figured three closely allied species without colour, believing that I can thus best show 

 the minute distinctions which seem to separate them. A. Aroa is very nearly allied to A. Hy- 

 pomuta : the blue of its upperside is less brilliant, and the spots and bands of the underside 

 appear to be much wider apart. A. Hypomuta seems, on the posterior wing, as if covered 

 throughout with spots, the spaces between the bands and spots having nearly the same 

 appearance as the usual spots and bands themselves have.
