black border of uncertain width on the npperside, while A. azata 

 cannot be said to have any black border at all. On the underside of 

 the forewing as figured, A. vihara has only five spots in the discal band, 

 and the inner margin is almost white, in A. azata there are six or 

 seven discal spots, and the inner margin is but slightly paler than the 

 rest of the wing; moreover, this band is even in A. vihara, broken in 

 A. azata. The pale blue coloration of this species on the upperside in 

 both sexes makes it a very easily recognised one. 



Described from a male from Perak and one from Sumatra taken in 

 July in my own collection, and a pair from the latter island taken in 

 March and November in the collection of Hofrath Dr. L. Martin.

I have ventured to give this form a name. Hewitson described it 

 from a female as a variety of A, agesias, Hewitson. I think it highly 

 improbable that it is a variety, I now possess nine specimens of it, 

 and have seen many more, and they are all alike, and agree in having 

 no discal band on the forewing on the underside, while typical 

 A. agesias, Hewitson, from Borneo, has the usual band consisting of 

 five round spots as figured, though Hewitson only mentions four. 

 Hewitson describes A. agesias and its variety from female specimens. 

 All my specimens look like females, but I am doubtful as to their sex — 

 they may be males. I do not describe the species here, as I have 

 already done so at sufficient length on page 273 of vol. iii of " The 

 Butterflies of India, Burmah and Ceylon."
