somewhat different, and A. acestes is much more spotted in appear- 

 ance beneath than A. bella. I have a fine pair of this species before 

 me, both taken on Kina Balu, from Dr. Staudinger's collection. 



Abhopala havilandi, sp. n., Bethune-Baker. (Plate XXX. 

 figs. 8 c? , 9 S .) 



Klina Balu. 



Expanse, d" ? , 47-48 millim. 



6 . Upperside : both wings brilliant deep purplish blue, in some 

 lights looking dull purplish, whilst with a side light there is quite 

 a brownish lustre over the one side ; costa and outer margin of 

 primaries very finely black; secondaries with costa broadly and 

 narrowly black ; tail fine, black tipped with white ; abdominal fold 

 greyish. Underside : both wings cinnamon-brown, with a pinkish- 

 violet tinge, with darker brown spots very palely margined. Pri- 

 maries with three good-sized increasing cell-spots — a very small spot 

 being over the second and third close to the costa, and another be- 

 tween and almost touching them (i. e. the cell-spots), this spot varies 

 much in size ; below (ho tliird is a good-sized spot occupying the lower 

 median angle ; suhdiscoidal cell dark, submedian area paler : the 

 transverse band is composed of seven spots, the upper four being 

 outwardly oblique, the second being shifted well be3'ond the small 

 first one, the third very slightly inwards, the fourth right outwards, 

 the fifth and sixth almost confluent, shifted well inwards but out- 

 wardly inclined, and below this is a smaller eiE;hth spot, which is 

 sometimes indistinct; submarginal row indistinct, sublunular. 

 Secondaries with a small spot at the extreme basal angle of the 

 costa, four basal spots below each other, the second and fourth 

 shifted inwards, followed by three larger ones below each other ; 

 cell closed by a large spot laterally edged ; transverse band begin- 

 ning below the upper discoidal nervuleand composed of six spots — 

 the second shifted outwards, third inwards, fourth outwards, fifth 

 angular spot quite detached and shifted far inwards and confluent 

 with the long bottle-necked sixth spot ; touching the outer margin of 

 the spot closing the cell and the inner margin of the first spot of 

 the transverse band are two spots confluent over each other, the 

 upper one reaching the costa and the lower one as described but 

 with its inner margin shifted right inwards, and being therefore 

 the larger of the two ; the submarginal row is sublunular and 

 indistinct ; anal area black, with bright bluish superimposed metallic 

 scales ; lobe-spot small, black : lobe scarcely developed at all. 



5 . Upperside : both wings brilliant, lustrous azure-blue, dull 

 violet in some lights and with the peculiar brown lustre in others. 

 Primaries with somewhat narrow costa, broad outer margin, and 

 very broad dark brown apical area ; at the margin of the blue patch 

 beyond the upper apex of the cell are three or four deep black spots 

 in the interspaces of the nervules. Secondaries with all the 

 margins broadly dark brown ; the outer margin being less broad
