280 L. de Niceville — New B utter jiies from the Indian Begion. [N"o. 4, 



narrow black streaks on either side of the tail divided from the cilia by 

 a white thread ; tail black tipped with white. Underside, both wings 

 coloured and marked almost exactly like A. paraganesa, milii. Forewing 

 with the discal macular band mnch broken in the middle, the lower por- 

 tion below the third median nervule being shifted backwards consider- 

 ably, so that the outer anterior angle of the uppermost spot of the loweif 

 portion touches the inner posterior angle of the spot above it ; in A, 

 paraganesa this band is straight and unbroken. Hindwing with a few 

 metallic green scales towards the anal angle which are not present in 

 A. paraganesa. Female. Upperside, foreiving with the costa, apex, and 

 outer margin all broadly black, the base and disc of the wing to the 

 inner margin pale blue ; a whitish spot at the end of the discoidal cell, 

 one beyond in the lower discoidal interspace, and two smaller ones 

 below divided by the second median nervule. Hindwing with the costa 

 broadly, the outer margin less broadly and decreasingly black, the veins 

 black, widening out towards the margin, the rest of the wing pale 

 blue ; a fine anteciliary white line on either side of the tail. Underside, 

 both wings marked as in the male, but the metallic green scales on the 

 hindwing wanting. 



A larger species than A. paraganesa^ the male conspicuously different, 

 as the blue coloration extends over the entire surface except the ex- 

 treme margin, while in A. paraganesa it is confined to a patch on the 

 disc and base ; the opposite sexes in A. paraganesa are also nearly alike, 

 while in A. aherrans they are widely different. This is only the second 

 species of the genus. The male was taken by Captain C. T. Bingham in 

 the Meplay Valley on the 6th January, 1882, the female was also obtained 

 by him at Donat in January.

Habitat : Pegu Hills, Burma. 



Expanse : <? , 1"4 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, hotli wings black. Foreiving with 

 a streak on either side of the median nervure, a small patch filling the 

 base of the second median and a larger one filling the base of first 

 median interspace, a lengthened streak in the intern o-median area and 

 placed obliquely above it, a large somewhat quadrate patch in the 

 submedian interspace, all brilliant shining nltramarine-blue inclining to 

 brilliant emerald-green in some lights. Hindwing with the posterior two- 

 thirds of the surface also blue crossed by the black veins, the outer margin 

 narrowly black, and with somewhat diffused black spots placed upon and 

 near the termination of the median nervules, two conjoined spots in conti- 

 nuation of these latter in the submedian interspace ; costal and abdominal
