407. *Ai?riiopala. auxrsia, Hewitson. 



Hewitson. Kirby. Originally described from Sumatra, but we 

 have not met with this fine species. A. auzea, de Niceville, from Java, 

 is a local race of A. auxesia. 



408. Aruhopala buxtoni, Hewitson. 



Hewitson. Grose Smith. Staudinger. Distant. Originally des- 

 cribed from Sumatra, where it is found at Selesseh. 



409. Arrhopala farquhart, Distant. 



Snellen as eumolphus. Hagen as eumolphus. Grose Smith as 

 eumolphus. The A. eumolphus of Cramer was described from the Bengal 

 Coast, so it appears best to retain that name for the Eastern Himalayan, 

 Assamese, and Chittagong Hill Tracts form. Its female is the 

 A. bupola of Hewitson. Tbe female of A. farquhari is probably the 

 A . maxwelli of Distant. Snellen suggests that A. atosia, Hewitson, is the 

 female of the Sumatran form ; in this I cannot agree with him, vide 

 Butt. India, vol. iii, p. 242. I possess a long series of A. adonias, 

 Hewitson, from Java from whence it was originally described. All 

 my specimens appear to be females, and as the markings of the 

 underside agree closely with those of A. eumolphus, A. farquhari, 

 A . heUenore, Boherfcy, and A. horsfieldi, Pagenstecher, I am inclined to 

 believe that its male is a gi-een species which does not appear to differ 

 at all from the same sex of A. farquhari, though the Javan female 

 (true A adonias) is of quite a different shade of colour on the upper- 

 side of both wings, being a pale silvery blue, to the deep purple colora- 

 tion of the female of the true A. farquhari from Burma, the Malay 

 Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. In Sumatra A. farquhari is found 

 at Bekantschan aud in the Battak mountains. 



410. Arrhopala trogon, Distant. 



Originally described from Perak in the Malay Peninsula. Very 

 rare in both sexes, but the female seems to be more often met with than 

 the male. 



411. Arrhopala horsfieldi, Pagenstecher. 



Amblypodia horsfieldi, Pagenstecher, Jahr. des Nass. Yer. fiir Naturk., vol. xliii, 

 pp.99, 106 (1890K 



Arhopala basiviridis, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. vi. p. 373, 

 n. 21, pi. G, fig 22, male (1891). 



Originally described from East Java by Pagenstecher, and from the 

 Malay Peninsula and Borneo by myself. In Sumatra it is found in the 

 Battak mountains.
