AMBLYPOBIINM 181 



Female. Upperside, both wings of a lighter, more bluish shade than in the male, 

 the outer margins much broader, otherwise as in the male. Described from a single 

 male (the type) captured by Major C. T. Bingham on the Pegu Yoma, Burma, in 

 December, 1887, and two males and a female captured by Mr. W. Doherty at Mergui 

 and in the Tenasserim Valley in the cold season of 1888-89. One of these males 

 differs slightly from the type in having all the markings of the underside rather larger 

 and darker and consequently more prominent. 



Expanse of wings, $ l-j'^g, % 1*^ inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Mergui. (de Niceville.) 



We have not seen this species, the types are in the Indian Museum, Calcutta ; our 

 figures are copies of de Niceville's figure.
