 Wings beneath olivaceous -brown ; pale markings as above, but with the narrow subtnarginal fuscous fascia 

 above, violaceous beneath, and with the dark fuscous macular markings as in A. pravam. Abdominal 

 margin pale greenish. Body above dark fuscous, with an anterior transverse bluish fascia to thorax, and 

 a basal bluish-white fascia to the abdomen. Body beneath greyish ; legs pale brownish, 

 Exp. wings, 50 to 54 millim.; 9 62 tnillim.

The female of this species is apparently a difficult insect to find, m all the specimens 

 which I collected in Province Wellesley, or those which I have since received from the 

 Peninsula, have been of the male sex. Both sexes, collected by Mr* Pryer in North Borneo, 

 arc now in my collection, ami the female differs in no essential respect from the male.

Male. Wings above dark fuscous. Anterior wings with some very obscure and slightly paler 

 markings in cell ; an oblique discal bluish-white macular fascia, with the margins pale bluish, commencing 

 immediately beneath apex of cell and between the second and third median nervules, and terminating 

 about centre of inner margin ; two subapieal whitish spots separated by the upper discoidal nervule, 

 followed beneath the second diBcoidal nervule by a third and very small spot, and two submarginal series 

 of linear spots placed between the nervules, the inner one more or less whitish, the outer entirely pale 

 fusuous. Posterior wings with a transverse bluish-white fascia, margined with pale bluish near base; 

 an outer discal series of small linear whitish spots placed between the nervules, and a submarginal, narrow, 

 pale fuscous, and somewhat macular fascia, "Wings beneath pale olivaceous-brown ; anterior wings with the 

 pale whitish spots as above, but larger, the two submarginal series of linear spots almost totally pale 

 violaceous, and with an irregular cellular streak, a spot at end of cell and one beneath cell between the 

 third median nervule and submedian nervure pale violaceous; three slightly oblique dark castaneoua 

 linear spots partly crossing cell, and two rounded contiguous spots of the same colour beneath cell near 

 bane ; a fuscous spot near cell Ulwrrii -neond and third median nervules; three longitudinal fuscous 

 streaks divided by the discoidal nervules, followed beneath by a series of linear spots of the same colour 

 p hiced between the nervules. Posterior wings with tin- whitish markings as above, but broader; the 

 submarginal fascia pale violaceous ; a basal curved whitish fascia, between which and the central fascia 

 are some linear dark castaneous markings, and a series of dark castaneous spots placed before the outer 

 discal pale fascia; abdominal margin pale greenish. Body both above and beneath more or less 

 concolorous with wings ; femora greyish white ; tibbe and tarsi pale fuscous. 



Female.* Similar to the male above ; the anterior wings have the subapieal spots larger; the cell 

 with the base castaneous, aud the discal fascia- to both wings rather broader and almost quite without 

 the bluish margins. Beneath the colour is reddish-ochraceous instead of olivaceous -brown, the darker 

 markings castaneous, excepting the fuscous spots near the posterior angle of anterior wings ; pale markings 

 as oji underside of male, but the ilisual fascia 1 broad as above. 

 Exp. wings, <? 45 to 55 millim, 



* Thia description Ls takeu from a foruale specimen collected iii the Thoutigyocu Valley, Teuasseriiu, and is the only 

 ccitiiple of that sex which I hav* as yet hiul im opportunity to examine.
