" Upperside : fore wing with discoidal cell and posterior base sky-blue ; the end of discoidal cell 
and between discoidal veinlets white ; rest of wing dark brown : hind wing sky-blue to near 
exterior margin, rest brown ; abdominal margin and cilia paler. Underside cream-white ; 
fore wings nearly covered with broad undulating brown bands ; hind wings with ill-defined 
undulating bands ; near outer margin of both wings appears a very faint undulated line and 
a series of dots. Wings shaped as in A. querceti and A. dodoncm. Without tails.

which is within the costal border, is more intensely black. Secondaries black, suffused with

brownish grey, with four whitish wavj'-edged darker bands — the first two are basal, the third 
is abbreviated, the fourth broad and the only one which is clearly defined ; submarginal line 
slender and interrupted : secondaries greyish brown, with four interrupted bands, these are of 
the ground-colour, but darker at the edges and bordered with whitish ; brownish submarginal 
line wavy, bordered with whitish and followed by a few brownish linear dots on the margin ; 
fringes pale grey, preceded by a darker line. 
Expanse 32 millim. 
At the time I described the above form of A. ganesa I was not acquainted 
with Fryer's loomisi ; but I now find that the latter and my var. seminigra 
are identical ; as, however, Fryer's name is the earlier one, it must stand for 
the Japanese and Chinese form of the Indian A. ganesa. 
The type of loomisi was taken at Kanozan in Kadzusa, Japan, and I 
received one example from Chang-yang, Central China, and another from 
Chow-pin-sa, Western China.
