On the underside the prime-colour is more gray than in goberus. The 

 pattern exists of more whitish rows and lunules. Minor, however, is 

 more characterised by its pointed forewings and by its smallness (wing- 

 expansion — 25 m.m.).

 176. A. avatha de Mcév. (?) 



2 — Pantjuran Gading (Kurintji) — 9/1915. I hesitate to decide 

 whether this specimen belongs to avatha or to gunongensis Beth. Baker. 

 Bethune Baker has not described the female of avatha in his „Revision 

 of the Amblypodia-grou]) of the Lycaenidae" (Transact. Zool. Soc. London, 

 vol. XVII) and has figured only the male of gunongensis. Firstly after 

 comparison with some Sumatran specimens determinated by Snellen, I 

 reckoned the single female to metamuta Hew., but at last I have found 

 more agreement to avatha. 



The colour on the upperside is dark purplish blue; the borders are 

 rather broadly black-brown coloured. On the underside the transverse 

 band of the forewings is recurved and the submarginal row of the hind- 

 wings is not regular, but seems to be broken into three pieces. The 

 specimen is rather small, the wingexpansion being only ( — 30 m.m.), 

 like that of the female gunongensis, in which species the colour on the 

 upperside is not as dark and in which the rows and bands on the under- 

 side are narrower and more contrasted with the prime-colour. 



177. A. ag estas (Hew.). 



cf — Aur (Kumanis, Highl. of Pad.) — 3/1914. Rather remarkable 

 is the total absence of the transverse band on the underside of the fore- 

 wings. Hewitson and de Nicéville have already mentioned such aberrations.
