AMBLYPODIINM. 1G5 



metallic blue scales, with a whitish smear above them ; marginal line of both wings 

 brown. Antennae black ; head and body above and below concolorous with the wings. 



Female. Upperside paler, being of a bright ultramarine-blue. Forewinfi with 

 broad black costal and outer marginal bands, broadest at the apex. Ilindwing with 

 the costal and marginal bands very broad, but paler black, leaving but a small portion 

 of the blue colour in the middle of the wing, varying somewhat in extent in different 

 examples. Underside as in the male. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ? 1 /q- to 2 inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



Distribution. — Hewitson described it as from India, which probably means 

 Maulmein ; many species so described by different authors came from Maulmein ; we 

 have it from Kangoon and Ataran, Elwes records it from the Karen Hills, Watson 

 from the Chin Hills, Doherty from Myitta, and de Niceville from Thoungyin.

Imago. — Male. Upperside lilac-blue. Forewing with costa and outer margin 

 very narrowly black. Hindwing with the costal space black, the outer margin 

 narrowly black ; anal lobe small, with a black spot edged above with some whitish 

 scales, abdominal fold blackish-grey, tail black, tipped with white. Cilia black, with white 

 tips. Underside rufous-brown, markings dark brown with pale edges. Forewing with 

 three somewhat large oval spots in the cell increasing in size outwards, a smaller spot on 

 the costa above the end spot, an outwardly oblique spot below it, with another slightly 

 outwardly oblique and detached in the next lower interspace, the wing space below these 

 spots very pale, marginal line brown, slightly sinuous. Hindwing with three rather 

 large sub-basal spots, the second slightly out of line, inwards, the fourth well inwards, 

 near the abdominal margin, followed by three larger spots, in a line, the third 

 sub- triangular, a slightly curved bar at the end of the cell, with a spot below it touching 

 or nearly touching both the bar and the triangular spot, a discal series of eight spots, 

 the first two from the costa, the second the largest, and set obliquely, its inner lower 

 end touching the upper outer end of the cell bar, the next four conjoined almost in a 

 line, well separated outwards from the upper two, the fifth spot a little inwards, the 

 seventh well curved and continuous with the eighth, which runs round on to the 

 abdominal margin, the outer end of the seventh curves round inside the sixth and just 

 touches it ; both wings with brown marginal line, sub-marginal macular band, and 

 between them a series of small lunular marks, a black spot on the anal lobe, and
