ARHOPALA BELLA, sp. u., Bethune-Baker. (Plate XXX. figs.

Kina Balu. 
Expanse, ¢ 55, 2 48 millim. 
3. Upperside : both wings brilliant lustrous purple around the 
margins, the whole of the inner area being lustrous brown, shading 
in certain lights into dull rather shining deep violet, somewhat as 
is seen in violet-coloured specimens of A. allata, Stgr., but much 
more beautiful. The secondaries show much more of the brilliant 
purple than the primaries and they have the abdominal fold 
brownish grey. In the single specimen before me there is a trace 
of a tail broken off, but it appears to have beenafine one. Extreme 
margins with a very fine lineal black line. Underside : both wings 
brown, slightly tinged with lilac, with dark spots laterally edged 
with very pale lilac. Primaries with three large cell-spots, the 
outer two very large, below the third in the lower median angle is 
another largish spot, whilst over the third are two very small 
spots, the lower one being shifted inwards ; transverse band com- 
posed of six spots, the upper four shifted very oblique each beyond 
its predecessor, fifth spot shifted well inwards; sixth spot, the 
largest, ending on the lower median nervule and shifted outwards ; 
a trace of the submarginal row ; subdiscoidal area dark, submedian 
area rather paler. Secondaries with a spot at the extreme basal 
apex, four basal spots below each other, followed by three large 
ones ; cell closed by a large subquadrangular spot, below which is a 
small triangular one connecting it with the lower of the three 
spots just mentioned, this spot being very irregular in shape ; above 
the spot closing the cell and touching it, but shifted outwards, are 
two spots over each other, reaching the costal nervure, whose inner 
margins are confluent, but the outer margin of the lower and 
larger spot is shifted outwards ; the transverse macular band begins 
below the upper discoidal nervure and is composed of six spots—the 
first one shifted right out, with its upper inner angle just touching 
the lower and outer extremity of the lower of the two spots above, 
second spot shifted outwards, third inwards, fourth outwards, fifth 
angular spot inwards, sixth long spot slightly inwards again; a 
trace of a submarginal sublunular row ; anal area with bluish-green 
lustrous metallic scales ; lobe-spot black ; lobe scarcely developed at 
all. 
9. Upperside: both wings lustrous azure, in certain lights 
rather dull violet. Primaries with costa somewhat narrowly and 
outer margin broadly dark brown ; the apex of the cell has a short 
black line at its upper extremity, showing rather plainly in the blue 
area. Secondaries with all the margins broadly brown; tail fairly 
long, brown tipped with white. Underside precisely as in the 
male, but tinged more with pinkish violet than lilac. 
This very beautiful and (in the male) very unusual-looking species 
will probably come near to A. acestes, de N., but may at once be 
recognized by its large size, its brilliant purple margins, and its 
lustrous brown inner areas ; the macular transverse bands are also
