6 LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS. 



24. Amblypodia amiulata. 



Amblypodia annulata, Felder, Lep. Amboin. Site. Acad. Wiss. Wien, 1860. 

 Upperside brown, slightly glossed with blue. 



Underside grey-brown ; the spots of the same colour, bordered with white. The spots near the base 

 of the anterior wing, especially that which is at the end of the cell, large : the transverse band broken at the 

 middle, formed of six round spots, placed three and three ; the lowest spots furthest from the margin ; the last 

 spot smaller than the others. Posterior wing crowded with spots : the transverse band formed of round spots 

 in pairs : the anal angle with three black spots irrorated with blue. 

 Exp. U'-j inch. 



In the Collection of Dr. Felder from Amboyna. 



25. Amblypodia Anthore. 



Amblypodia Anthore, Hewitson. Pl. III. <J f. 21, 22. 



Upperside. Male. — Silvery light blue. Anterior wing with the outer half suffused with darker 

 blue : the margins brown. 



Underside dark brown ; the spots and bands crowded together, and bordered with white. The 

 transverse band of the anterior wing, which is formed of six spots, is broken at the third spot, counting from 

 the costal margin : the anal angle has two spots of silvery-blue parallel to each other. 



Female. — Like the male, except that the costal and outer margins are broadly black. 



In the Collection of the British Museum from Batchian. 



26. Amblypodia Phryxus. 



Arhopala Phryxus, Boisd. Voy. deV Astrolabe, Ent. p. 75. 



Amblypodia Phryxus, Westio. in Doubl. #• Hewits. Gen. Biur. Lep. p. 478. 



This may be A. Anthore of the Plate ; but it is impossible to determine, by description only, the nice distinctions 

 which divide species so much alike as those of this genus. The insect from which Dr. Boisduval wrote his 

 description was at the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes, but is not now in existence. 



27. Amblypodia Helius. 



Amblypodia Helius. Pl. IV. 2 f. 34, <J f. 35. 

 Papilio Helius, Cramer, Pap.Exot. pl. 201. f. F, G. 

 Polyommatus Helus, Lucas, Le"p. Exot. pl. 44. f. 4. 

 Amblypodia Helus, TVestw. in Doubl. $• Hewits. Gen. Biur. Lep. p. 478. 



In the Collection of the British Museum from Aru. 



Variety a. Female. — With both wings broadly margined with brown.

My reason for again figuring this species is to endeavour to rectify the unaccountable mistakes which have 

 been made with regard to Cramer's figure. It is one of the best in the book ; and yet Godart, when evidently 

 describing A. Centaurus, refers it to Cramer's Helius. Dr. Horsfield, in describing the species to which I have 

 given the name of Aedias, refers it to Cramer's Helius. 



The butterfly represented by figs. 29, 30, 31, stands in Dr. Boisduval's collection as Helius of Cramer. 



28. Amblypodia Aedias. 



Amblypodia Aedias, Hewitson. Pl. IV. d f. 36. 

 Amblypodia Helus (Helius of Cramer), Horsf. Cat. Lep. E. I. C. Mus. p. 103. 



cJ . Alis omnibus splendidissime purpuraseenti-cceruleis. 



In the Collection of the British Museum from Java.
