Hew. from the Celebes, but seems to be darker below, with a broader 

 blacl} border above. Erom achelous, Hew. it also differs in the broader 

 black border, and the apex of the hindwing below is not lilac. The 

 blue above seems also darker and richer. From aida, de Niceville it 

 differs in the strong violet gloss and the large and crowded annulations, 

 occupying most of the cell of the forewing and extending thence nearly to 

 the costa, on the underside ; the uppersidc is very similar. The figure 

 of A. mirabella was omitted by accident. 



14. Aehopala belphcebe, n. sp., Plate XXIII, Fig. 18. 



Male, above light, rather dull purple-blue over about half of the 

 forewing, the dark border wide on the hindwing. Below much like 

 mirabella, but the costal markings of the forewing are absent, and the 

 transverse discal band is composed of spots nearly annular on the fore- 

 wing and entirely so on the hindwing. The three upper spots on the forc- 

 ing form a line outwardly oblique, the next two are united. Eindwing 

 with the three basal spots small and crowded together, the others large, 

 distinctly outlined with violet white, that at the end of the cell irregular^ 

 produced outwardly to a point in the lower median space as in A. duessa '■ 

 the transverse baud annular, nearly regular, composed of slightly united 

 pairs, the middle pair out of line; a double line of obscure pale submar- 

 ginal luuules on both wings. Expanse 1| inch. 



Myitta. This species is something like the female of the preceding 

 one, but the blue is paler and more lilacine. It has no tail and scarcely 

 any lobe. It has also some resemblance to A. agesias from Borneo. 



15. Arhopala albopdnctata, Hew. 



Myitta. This species, like A. theha and A. aron.ya from the Philip, 

 pines and a beautiful undescribed Celebesian species, mimics the genus 

 Lampides both on the upper and underside, resembling L. elpis and its 

 allies Another Arhopala (critala, Folder, from the Moluccas) mimics 

 the danis group of Cyaniris most faithfully. 



16. Arhopala ammon, Hew. 



Myitta. The Tonasserim form of this beautiful little species may be 

 distinct from the Malayan one, but in the absence of an authentic spe- 

 cimen of the latter I cannot at present decide. 



17. Arhopala farqtiharii, Distant. 



This species seems quite distinct from eumolpkus. not, as Mr. Di.stant 

 says, on account of the dislocated transverse band of the forewing, which 

 often occurs in eumolphus, but on account of the uniform dull brown 

 colour of the underside, the pale rings enclosing slightly darker brown 

 spots, while in eumolphus the wings are washed with bronzy grey, the 

 ground colour varying in different places, the spots small and distinct 

 while the anal green area is usually obsolescent. The female of farquharn
