468 L. de Niceville & Di\ L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. [No. 3, 



412. Arrhopala anniella, Hewitson. 



Originally described from Singapore from a male. From super- 

 ficial appearances only one would say that the A. artegal of Doherty 

 from Mergui in Lower Burma is a synonym of this species. Against 

 this is the fact that Doherty described his species from two male speci- 

 mens, while the description and figure agrees with the female of 

 A. anniella. In Sumatra A. anniella occurs in the Battak mountains. 



413. Arrhopala singhapura, Distant. 



Originally described from Singapore. Dr. Martin writes to me 

 that he possesses this species from Sumatra, that it is a good species, 

 and is very different from A. anniella, Hewitson, as it has a blunt and 

 broad tail tipped with white, and is a smaller insect. On the underside 

 A. anniella has white scales which are entirely wanting in A. singhapnrn, 

 of which also the metallic green markings near the anal angle of the 

 hindwing are largely different and more prominent, also shaped differ- 

 ently to those in A. anniella. The markings on the underside of 

 A. singhapura are also much nearer to those of A. diardi, Hewitson, 

 than to those of A. anniella. Till I received this note from Dr. Martin 

 I thought that A. singhapura might be a synonym of A. anniella, Distant 

 having figured the female of the former and the male of the latter. 



414. *Arriiopala rxoitNATA, Felder. 



Grose Smith. I have failed to recognise this species from any 

 locality. 



415. *Arrhopala perimuta, Moore. 



Grose Smith. This is a very distinct and easily recognised little 

 species, and Mr. Grose Smith is not likely to have wrongly identified 

 it. I have no record except the above of its occurrence south of 

 Mergui in Lower Burma. 



416. Arrhopala morphina, Distant. 



Very rare, found in the Battak mountains only. It is one of the 

 most beautiful and distinct species in the genus, and was originally 

 described from Perak in the Malay Peninsula. 



417. Arrhopala ovomaculata, Hewitson. 



Originally described from Sumatra. It occurs in the Battak 

 mountains rarely in August.
