ON NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN LEPWOPTERA. 173 



Hewitson in Cat. Lyccenidce B. M., pi. iii, though somewhat darker. 

 Forewing has the costa and outer margin most narrowly black. 

 Hindwing has the apex as far as the first subcostal nervule fuscous, 

 the outer margin most narrowly black, the abdominal margin broadly 

 whitish ; the anal lobe small, bearing a deep black spot almost hidden 

 beneath turquoise- blue scales ; outer tail from termination of first median 

 nervule rather long, black, tipped with white ; inner tail from termi- 

 nation of submedian nervure very short, tooth-like, black. Undekside, 

 both wings pale shining hair-brown, all the markings of a deeper shade 

 of brown than the ground, outwardly defined with whitish. Forewing 

 with a circular spot towards the base of the discoidal cell, a reniform 

 one across its middle, a quadrate one outwardly indented closing the 

 cell, two large spots posterior to the cell divided by the first median 

 nervule ; a discal band of six (seven in Sumatran specimens) well 

 rounded spots, the two (or three) lowermost ones shifted inwardly 

 towards the base of the wing posterior to the third median nervule ; a 

 broad, rather prominent submarginal fascia. Hindwing with five 

 round basal spots ; an oval one in the middle of the cell, with one 

 anterior and one posterior to it ; a large spot at the end of the cell, with 

 a small one posterior to it at the base of the first median interspace ; a 

 discal series of spots, the six anterior ones well rounded, placed in pairs, 

 the two posterior ones elongated and recurved to the abdominal margin ; 

 a double series of marginal lunules ; the anal lobe and oval spot on the 

 margin in the first median interspace prominent, deep black, crowned 

 with metallic turquoise-blue scales, the interspace between thera also 

 thickly sprinkled with similarly-coloured scales ; an anteciliary black 

 thread defined on both sides with white. Female. Upperside, loth 

 loings pale violet-blue. Forewing with the costa and outer margin 

 rather broadly (between 2 and 3 mms.) black, the spot closing the 

 discoidal ceil on the underside shewing through on the upperside, and 

 defined on both sides with whitish. Hindwing with the costa and 

 outer margin broadly black, but this black border is reduced to two 

 narrow black spots towards the anal angle. Underside, both loings 

 as in the male. 



I do not know any near ally to this species. It may be close to 

 A. viharaj Felder, described from Malacca interior and recorded from 

 Tenasserim and Nias, but that species appears to have in the male a
