658 Mil. II. U. J3EU0E ON BOBNBAN LYCBNIDiE. [June 16, 



done in the island of Borneo, for out of quite a small number of 

 the genus there are twelve new species, most of which are strongly 

 marked forms. As I am gradually preparing a monograph of 

 the genus, it will be unnecessary for me now to do more than 

 enumerate and describe the species. — 0. T. B.-B. 



AnHOPALA MEANDBE, Boisd. Voy. Astr., Lep. p. 76 (1832). 

 One very magnificently marked (underside) specimen from the 

 collection of Herr Eibbe from South-east Borneo. 



Akhopala tameanga, sp. n., Bethune-Baker. (Plate XXIX. 

 figs. 7 cJ,8S.) 



Tameang-Lajang (S.E. Borneo). 



Expanse, J 57, ? 54 millim. 



(J . Upperside : both wings dark bluish purple, in some lights 

 almost indigo colour, and having a brovi'nish patch in a certain 

 light, with an almost linear black costa and outer margin to the 

 primaries, and on the secondaries a broad brown costa and very 

 fine black outer margin ; abdominal fold grey ; submedian area very 

 densely clothed with brown hairs ; tail black, tipped with white, 

 lobe scarcely developed at all. Underside : both wings very warm 

 ochreous brown, with darker spots n)argined with creamy. Pri- 

 maries with three very dark, large, slightly increasing cell-spots, 

 below the third being another equally dark rather large spot, over 

 the third a small spot near the costa ; subdiscal area dark brown, 

 with a slightly purplish tinge ; submedian area pale ; transverse 

 branch composed of six oval spots, the first four outwardly oblique, 

 each spot projecting beyond its predecessor, especially the fourth ; 

 fifth and sixth spots shifted well inwards and below each other ; 

 submarginal band indefinite, but fairly distinct. Secondaries 

 rather darker than primaries, with a dark spot at the basal costal 

 extremity, three dark basal spots below each other, and a fourth 

 shifted right beyond the internal nervure ; these are followed by 

 three more spots below each other, the third being very large and 

 irregular ; cell closed by a largish spot, below it being another con- 

 necting it with the lower of the three spots; transverse band 

 consisting of eight spots, the second being large and shifted out- 

 wards on to its outer margin, the third shifted right out, detached, 

 fourth further out, fifth inwards, sixth outwards ; seventh angular 

 spot well inwards (not detached), almost broken into two at the 

 angle, and confluent with the long eighth spot ; submarginal row 

 very indistinct ; anal spot black, with a very plentiful scaling of 

 bright pale greenish metallic scales, with one edged above by a 

 dark line to the internal nervure ; this line has some metallic 

 scales therein. 



5 . Upperside : both wings pale bluish violet ; primaries with 

 broad brown costa, broader outer margin, and very broad apical 

 area, cell closed by a darkish spot ; secondaries with very broad 

 margins all round, especially the costa. Underside precisely as in 

 the male, but rather paler, and with the submarginal bands rather
