different. It is also allied to A. anarte, Hewitson, from Nemotha 

 (Cachar), Myitta (Burma), the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and 

 Makassar (Celebes), but that species lacks the broad subcostal white 

 fascia on the underside of the hindwing present in A. auzea. It is 

 perhaps nearest to " Amblypodia " au.tesia, Hewitson,* but the male 

 differs from that sex in having narrow instead of broad black margins 

 to both wings on the upperside, and has no irrorated white patch 

 in the middle of the forewing ; the female differs in being of a much 

 paler shade, more blue, less purple, with that colour far more extensive 

 ou the hindv/ing ; on the underside the markings are smaller and 

 well separated instead of being run together ; A. auxesia is also a 

 smaller insect, " Anibly podia " antJiore, Hewit3on,t is somewhat 

 similar on the upperside, but the underside is quite different, hav- 

 ing no costal white fascia to the hindwing. This feature is absent 

 also in " AmUy podia " acetes, Hewitson, | and differs also in the 

 hindwing on the upperside having the blue area even smaller than 

 in A. auxesia. As far as I am aware, the white costal fascia on the 

 underside of the hindwing is only found in A, suhfasciata, Moore, from 

 Burma, A. auxesia, Hewitson, from Sumatra, A. auzea, de Eiceville, 

 from Java, and A. tephlis, Hewitson, from Gilolo.
