than the others ; tail fine, brown tipped with white. Underside 

 precisely as the male, but a little duller in colour. 



I have two males and two females before me, all from Kiua Balu ; 

 they are nearest to A. aida, de Nicev., but can at once be recogni/.ed 

 b}' their much larger size and very different upperside — the black 

 margins being linear and blue, quite different in colour. I have two 

 specimens of ^. aida before me from ]jabuan, which are about half 

 as small again as my species.

6 . Upperside : both wings brilliant lustrous green, not so brassy 

 as A.aurea, Hew., having in a sidelight a bluish tinge, with linear 

 brown costa and outer margin to the primaries : secondaries with 

 the green only occupying the central part of the wing, the rest of 

 the wing being brown, this colour invading the outer margin of the 

 green area, so as to make it irregularly hollowed ; the tail at the end 

 of the lower median nervule is short. Underside : both wings dirty 

 dull brown, all the markings being most indistinct, the pattern 

 being slightly darker, with very faint pale edgings. Primaries -with 

 a trace of three increasing cell-spots, followed by an equally indis- 

 tinct transverse band composed of five spots, the upper three being 

 outwardly strongly oblique, the lower two inwardly oblique ; there 

 is a trace of a spot below that closing the cell ; subdieoal area dark ; 

 Bubmedian area pale. Secondaries with spots rather more distinct, 

 four basal below each other, followed by three larger ones below 

 each other ; cell closed by a largish spot, below whicii is a small one 

 in the lower median angle, and above it, almost confluent but shifted 

 very slightly outwards, are two spots above each other, the upper 

 smaller one reaching to the costa : transverse band less distinct, 

 composed of six spots from the upper discoidal nervure ; the third
