which some ray-like spots extend inwardly along the nervules, which give the appearance of two whitish 

 spots surrounded by black near apes.) black ; the upper median nervule is also completely shaded with black. 

 Posterior wings with the basal half from base, beneath cell to nearly the upper median nervule, deep orange- 

 yellow, the outer margin black, — narrowed towards anal angle, — the extreme base, the subcostal and median 

 nervures, and the subcostal nervules dark bluish-grey, the same colour preceding the black margin near 

 apex. Anterior wings beneath creamy-white, the costal area, margins of cell, apex and outer margin 

 fuscous, beyond cell are four whitish spots, and three subapieal sulphureous spots, the base of costal area 

 is also shaded with sulphureous. Posterior wings dark sulphureous, the anal area bright orange ; outer 

 margin fuscous, enclosing a large sulphureous spot between the subcostal nervules, and a smaller one 

 beneath it, the margin also inwardly becomes somewhat broken and macular from the upper median 

 nervule to anal angle ; costal, subcostal and median nervures, subcostal and upper median nervulea 

 infuscated. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. This sex has not been seen by the writer, but has been described and figured by 

 Yollenhoven as the male. The wings above are much infuscated, and the orange colour of the posterior 

 wings extends quite to the upper median nervule, the outer margin of these wings being broadly fuscous 

 to the orange anal area, and emits a short fuscous extension into that area.

A. amaUa is closely allied to A, lea, Donbleday (a species which will also probably be 

 discovered in this fauna), but the narrower dark margin on the under surface of the posterior 

 win^s will alone distinguish it.

This species belongs to the section of the genus which has been generically separated by 

 Mr. Moore, under the name of Huphina ; it is allied to the Javan A, nama, Moore, and is 

 represented by a single example in a line collection of Perak butterflies belonging to 

 Dr. Anderson, of the Calcutta Museum, which collection has been most considerately placed 

 in my hands for study and comparison.
