ARHOPALA.— ZINASPA. 345 
brown. Underside greyish brown, slightly rufescent on foro wing; an undulating broad 
band of rufescent brown crosses the fore and hind wings, another inwardly on the latter half 
across the wing, then two or three spots ; near exterior margin of both wings is an indistinct 
angulated line ; fore wing angulated exteriorly ; hind wing rounded ; tail, one. 
" Expanse of wings 1| inch." {Moore, Cat. Lep. E. I. C.) 
Appears to be common at Kiukiang in Central China. 
According to Mr. de Niceville, A. rama is one of the most widely distributed 
and abundant species of the genus. It occurs in oak-woods in the outer 
ranges of the Western Himalayas up to an elevation of about 9000 feet. 
In Sikkim it is much rarer, and has been taken in June and July.

" Male. Form and size of A. diardi ; but the secondaries comparatively rather larger, the wings 
above dull blue instead of violet, and with a rather broad black external border : under 
surface more like A. apidamis in pattern and coloration, but the costal thirds of all the 
wings washed with lilac, across which the olive-brown bands run ; the abdominal half of 
secondaric^s crossed by three irregularly arched nebulous blackish bands, increasing in 
intensity and in extent as they approach the outer margin ; the basal area also ashy instead 
of dark brown, and the markings on the basal half of the primaries small and more feebly 
indicated than those of the external half. Expanse of wings 1 inch 11 lines. 
" Female. Primaries above bright ultramarine, with a very broad black apical area and external 
border ; secondaries and body blackish brown ; wings below more like A. centaurits than the 
male, the arched abdominal bands obsolete, replaced by a continuation of the ordinary pale- 
edged macular bands. Expanse of wings 1 inch 11 lines." {Butler, I. c.) 
In Japan this species has been recorded from Nagasaki and Nikko. I 
took specimens in the Province of Satsuma in May, flying in company with 
A. japonica, and I have received examples taken at Gensan, Corea, by native 
collectors. It appears to be always rare. 
There is a fine series of A. teesta, which is certainly synonymous with 
A. turbata, in MoUer's collection, from Darjiling. 
Distribution. Japan, Corea, Sikkim, Sylhet, and Tenasscrim.

" Allied to Rapala, iloore, from which it differs in both sexes in the antennae being shorter, the
