same sex of A. adulans, so that in the fore wing the black area broadly covers the disco- 

 cellular nervules, and in the hindwing occupies about half the surface, in A. adulans 

 the black colour occupies the outer third of the wing only. 



"Described from three males and one female in my collection." 

 Bethune-Baker says that after examining de Niceville's specimens, he could not but 

 consider them as one and the same species. Our figures are copies of de Niceville's 

 figures of adala J and adulans $.

Imago. — Male. Upperside purple-blue. Forewing with the black costal band 

 broad, the outer margin with its black band not quite so broad. Hindwing with the 

 costal space broadly black, the black outer marginal baud somewhat narrower than it 

 is in the forewing ; in shape and outline it is similar to A. perissa. Underside 

 ochreous-brown, markings much as in A. perissa, but the bands are somewhat 

 broader. Forewing with the discal bands decidedly broader. Hindwing with the 

 discal band much broader, the upper inner end of the third spot touches the lower outer 

 end of the second, whereas in perissa it is well separated from it, but otherwise all the 

 markings are similarly disposed. 



Female. Upperside paler blue, all the marginal black bands broader. Underside 

 as in the male. 



Expanse of wings, $ l-j^, $ ly% inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Andamans. 



Distribution. — The type came from Toungu ; we have it from Ataran Valley : 

 de Niceville records it from Rangoon and the Andamans, and Watson from Chin 

 Lushai. .
