 specimen figured was collected by Capt. Pin will in Malacca, and I append the description as 

 given l>y Mr. He wit son ; — 



u Lppersitle. Mule. — Violet-blue : the margins i ery narrow t black." 



" Underside rufous- brown. Anterior wing with the band of nearly equal breadth, slightly curved.*' 

 Exp. ] ft inch. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Malacca (Pinwill — Lrit. Mus.J, — Sumatra (coll. Wallace — Hewits.). 



Mr. Hewitson also remarks, ** A. Aroa is very nearly allied to A. Jhjpomuta ;* the blue of its 

 upperside is less brilliant, and the spots and bands of the underside appear to be niuek wider 

 apart. .!. Htjpomuta seems, on the posterior wing, as if covered throughout with spots, the 

 spaces between the bands and spots having nearly the same appearance as the usual spots and 

 bands themselves have."
