some lights, with a very narrow black costa and broader outer 

 tnnrgia to the primaries ; secondaries with a very broad costa 

 aad much narrower outer margins; tail black with white tips; 

 anal angle vi'ith a small whitish spot. Underside : both wings 

 ochreous, with darker spots margined with cream-colour. Primaries 

 with the usual three increasing ceU-spots ; above and below the 

 third is another spot, that on the costa being quite small ; sub- 

 discal area dark : transverse band coui posed of six or seven spots, 

 the second one larger than that on the costa and shifted outwards, 

 third very slightly outwards but inclined decidedly inwards, fourth 

 both shifted and inclined outwards, fifth perpendicularly inclined 

 with inner margin shifted inwards, sixth shifted well outwards ; a 

 trace of a small spot below this ; submarginal row fairly distinct ; 

 submedian area pale. Secondaries with a small spot at the costal 

 basal extremity ; four basal spots, second and fourth shifted 

 inwards, followed by three larger spots below each other, the second 

 of which is shifted inwards ; cell closed by a subquadrate spot, below 

 which is another connecting it with the lowest of the three spots : 

 transverse band composed of seven spots, the upper two being 

 detached from the others and just touching the cell-spot, the 

 third spot is shifted right outwards, fourth outwards again, fifth 

 with its inner margin only shifted inwards, sixth well outwards, 

 seventh angular, and eighth spot confluent, being joined by a nar- 

 row neck and extending to nearly halfway up the internal nervure ; 

 submarginal row distinct, subannular ; a black spot on the very 

 ill-developed lobe and just beyond the tail, the intervening area 

 tilled with metallic green scales, which also edge the spots above. 



$ . Upperside : both wings purplish blue, with a black spot at 

 the end of the cell in the primaries, the costa being broadly blackish, 

 the outer margin broader, and the apical area still broader. 

 Secondaries with very broad margins all round, the costa being 

 the broadest, and the outer margin slightly decreasing in width 

 near the tail. Underside as in the male. 



This species will come near to A. vihmi, Feld. I have before 

 me three males — one from Java, in which the spots are very dark 

 indeed ; but in none of these, though evidently the same species, 

 is the transverse band of the primaries precisely similar : in that 

 from Java the upper four spots are strongly but evenly outwardly 

 oblique ; whilst in a very small specimen from Sandakaa the first 

 five make an almost even curve, and in one wing of the male type 

 there is a minute spot almost touching the inner upper corner of 

 that closing the cell.
