Hab. Andamans. 



Expanse 40 mm. 



<S . Upperside : both wings bluer than in A. fulla Hew., and with less violet in it ; 

 the costa and posterior margin more broadly and the apex much more broadly black in 

 the primaries; the costa is also shorter, the apex sharper, and the posterior margin 

 rounder than in fulla Hew. Underside as in A. fulla, but ochreous instead of slightly 

 rufous. 



2 . Upperside : both wings paler and bluer than in the male ; primaries with a broad 

 black costa, very broad outer margin, and very much broader apical area ; secondaries 

 with a very broad dark costa and rather narrow outer margin. 



This species is quite distinct from fulla Hew., and is a much smaller insect. The 

 genitalia have the tegumen-hooks stoutish and the clasps are heavy and broad, 

 terminating in short upturned points.

Hab. Queensland. 



Expanse 44.-45 mm. 



6 • Upperside : both wings sublustrous azure-blue of a roughish texture, with 

 narrow black costa to the primaries and wide outer margins increasing towards the anal 

 angle ; secondaries with broad dark greyish costa, white above the costal nervine, and 

 wide black outer margins increasing at the anal angle ; tail black, tipped with white ; 

 abdominal fold pale greyish. Underside : both wings white with brown spots and 

 fascia. Primaries with costa broadly brown, extending between the discal spots, 

 which thus show a white margin ; two spots in the cell and one closing it, beyond 

 which are three very oblique (outwardly) spots, forming a short very oblique row 

 from the third subcostal nervule; submarginal row very distinct at the anal angle, 

 tapering finely into obscurity at the apex ; submarginal band continuous. Secondaries 

 with three basal spots followed by three rather larger ones below each other ; 

 submarginal row distinct and lunulated ; margin pale brown, moderately broad, 

 lunulated as to its inner edge ; extreme margin finely white ; at the anal angle 

 is a black spot, a very slightly metallic marginal dusting is between the lower and 

 submedian nervures. 



$ . Upperside : both wings dark brown, with a large snow-white patch in the
