632 MR. H. J. ELWES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [DeC. 6, 



males from Tenasserim, which are what Doherty calls A.far- 

 qiihari, Dist., but which I camiot see my way to distinguish from 

 eumolphus which I have from Java, Sikkim, and the Khasia Hills, 

 though the underside is certainly darker. 



Arhopala hellenore. 



A. Jiellenore, Doh. J. A. S. B. Iviii. pt. ii. p, 422, t. xxiii. fig. 7 

 c?(1889). 



A. viridissima, Swinh. Ann. N. H. (6) vol. v. p. 449 (1889). 



The type from Mergui agrees precisely with one given me by 

 Col. Swinhoe as A. viridissima from Mandalay, except that there is 

 rather more gold in the green of the centre of the fore wing. 



They differ from A. eumolphus in having the black border of the 

 costa very narrow, of the outer margin very narrow at the apex, so 

 that the green almost reaches the apex in a point, and the border of 

 the hind wings also narrower. Below it is paler than most speci- 

 mens of A. eumolphus. I do not know whether the female of this 

 species can be distinguished from A. eumolphus. 



Arhopala molleri. 



Nilasera t moelleri, de Nicev. J. A. S. B. lii. pt. ii. p. 80, t. ix. 

 figs. 4 c?,4« $ (1883).

One male from the Karen Hills, another from Margharita. 



Arhopala perimuta. 



Amblypodia perimuta, Moore, Horsf. & Moore, Cat, Lep. Mus. 

 E. I. C. i. p. 42 (1857). 



Arhopala perimuta. Butt. Ind. iii. p. 270. 

 Sent from the Naga Hills and from Margharita. 



Arhopala belphcebe. 



A. belphcebe, Doh. J. A. S. B. Iviii. pt. ii. p. 421, t. xxiii. fig. 18 S 

 (1889) ; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 272. 



A single male from Margharita agrees with the type from Tavoy, 

 also sent me by Doherty. 



Arhopala agrata. 



Arhopala agrata, de Nicev. Butt. Ind. iii. p. 251 note, front, 

 fig. 137 6 (1890). 



Seems to be one of the commonest species in East Pegu and 

 agrees perfectly with a pair from Singapore sent me by de Niceville ; 

 other specimens from Perak are of a duller colour above.
