NIPHANDA.— AMBLOPALA. 341 
subtus fusco-griseis, maculis fasoiisque fuscis, albido-marginatis, lunulis marginalibus fusris, 
albido-annulatis. 
" Expans. alar, antic, unc. If."' {Bremer 6f Orey, Schmett. N. Chinas.) 
Pryer states that this species frequents highlands and mountain slopes 
fi'om June to September, and gives Nikko and Fujisan as localities. I found 
it common throughout Japan and Corea during July and August. Pratt and 
Kricheldorff obtained the species at Kiukiang and Ichang in Central China, 
and at many of the places where they collected in Western China. Mr. W. 
B. Pryer records specimens from Ningpo. 
The form ^. fiisca, female, to which Graeser [1. c.) has given the name 
lasurea, has the disc of the wings tinged with pale blue. It occurs, with all 
the intergrades connecting it with the type, in Central China, and a specimen 
from Chang-yang is figured on Plate XXXI. fig. 17. 
Distribution. Amurland, Corea, Japan, Central, North, and Western China. 
Genus AMBLOPALA, gen. nov. 
Primaries : inner margin quite straight ; outer margin very slightly convex below the pointed 
apex and straight from the middle to inner margin. Secondaries have the costa convex at 
the base, then slightly concave to the obtuse apex; the outer margin is rounded, but slightly 
concave below apex and towards the greatly produced anal lobe. Neuration very similar to 
that of Amhhjpodia. 
The legs and underside of the entire body are thickly pubescent. 
Auteunee quite half the length of fore wing, with a well-formed club, and altogether more robust 
than in either Amhhjpodia or Arliopala. 
Amblopala avidiena.

" Upperside : anterior wing with the basal half (except the costal margin, which is rufous brown) 
lilac-blue, the outer half dark brown, marked by a bifid spot of orange, the fringe rufous. 
Posterior wing rufous brown, with a trifid subbasal blue spot ; the anal lobe large and 
prominent. Underside : anterior wing pale ochreous brown, the outer margin broadly 
rufous, bordered inwardly by a line of white. Posterior wing rufous, crossed from the costal 
margin (where it is broad, and marked by a triangular rufous spot) to the anal angle (where 
it is narrow) by a band of grey bordered on both sides with white. 
"Expanse 1| inch. 
"A remarkable species, belonging to the Xarada group." {Hewitson, E. M. M.) 
Except that the female is rather larger and has a little more blue on all 
the wings, the sexes do not differ. Hewitson's figure seems to represent a 
female specimen.
