nervule, also extending into the sutural area, a large spot filling the 

 base of the first and a small spot filling the base of the second median 

 interspace ; a discal series of eight spots placed four and four, the 

 anterior quartette placed strongly outwardly obliquely, increas- 

 ing in size to the fourth spot which is the largest, the posterior 

 quartette well removed inwardly from the lowest spot of the anterior 

 quartette, arranged at right angles to the inner margin, the two 

 lowest spots divided by the submedian nervure much smaller 

 than the two spots anterior to them, the lowest spot of all the 

 smallest of all ; marginal and submarginal series of obscure oblong . 

 fuscous spots, the submarginal series the more prominent. Hindwing 

 with a broad subcostal white fascia, outwardly extending a little on 

 both sides of the two subcostal nervules ; a large spot at the extreme 

 base of the wing anterior to the costal nervure ; four spots extending 

 across the base of the wing, the anterior one posterior to the costal 

 nervure very large ; beyond and touching the last-named spot in the 

 same interspace is a still larger spot ; an oval spot in the middle of 

 the cellj with a very large triangular one posterior to it in the 

 submedian interspace ; a very large triangular spot at the end of the 

 ceJl, posterior to which is a spot at the base of the first median 

 interspace i the discal series consists of six spots arranged in pairs, and 

 a large hook-shaped marking which reaches from the first median 

 uervule to the internal nervure ; a submarginal and marginal series of 

 markings as in the forewing ; an oblong black spot on the margin in 

 the first median interspace crowned with pale metallic blue scales ; a 

 larger marginal black spot in the submedian interspace sprinkled all 

 over with blue scales ; the anal lobe small, black, crowned with blue 

 scales ; a black anteciliary thread, defined on both sides with an equally 

 fine white thread, anteriorly obsolete. Febiale. Upperside, both 

 icings difi^er from the male in having the black borders very broad. 

 Fo7'eioing has the costal border reaching to the subcostal nervure, 

 and giving off' a black bar at the end of the cell, the area around 

 which is whitish. Otherwise as in the male. 



This species belongs to the group of A. camdeo, Moore, a North-East 

 Indian species, from which the male is distinguished by the different 

 shade of blue of the upperside without the whitish irroration in the 

 middle of the forewing. The markings of the underside are very
