A. elopura Drc. (150 B g). Under surface light earth-brown, the transverse markings only traceable elopura. 
as faint light comma-shaped streaks; in each of the 4 discal cells a small dark spot. Upper surface dark blue, 
distally more glaring, towards the base darker and of a more violet tint. This species is said to be common 
in Borneo. 
A. pseudomuta Stgr. (148 e) is much larger than elopura, the $ violettish-blue, almost-lilac, the under pseudomu- 
surface regularly marked, as is to be seen from the figure; Malacca, Borneo. -—- rafflesii Nic. (= amphimuta ^ .. 1,1 ' 
Dist. nec Fldr., pseudomuta Nic. nec Stgr.), from Southern Indo-China and Sumatra, may be a distinct species, 
above dark blue instead of violet, with a slight difference of the postmedian band on the hinclwing beneath, 
where the 4th spot is slightly removed towards the margin. 
A. atosia Hew. (= aricia Stgr.) (148 e). Above the $ is not lilac, but mostly dark blue with a very atosia. 
feeble violet tint, although also more intensely lilac-tinged specimens have been ascertained. Beneath very 
similar to pseudomuta, but in the $ the postdiscal band of the hindwing is more irregular, and the 4th spot of the 
postmedian band of the forewing still more distally removed. In the figure the $ is without the small tail 
which is said to be present in both the sexes of the species figured by Hewitson and Niceville ; in the latter 
figures, moreover, the marking of the under surface differs so much that it appears doubtful whether they 
belong together. The $ has a black distal margin of about 3 mm width. Southern Indo-China, Sumatra, Borneo, 
and Palawan. 
A. epimuta Mr. nec Hew. (== antimuta Nic.) (148 e) is very similar to atosia above and beneath, but epimuta. 
it is said to differ in the absence of the small tail of the hinclwing. Malacca; Borneo. 
A. moolaiana Mr. (= epimuta Heiv. nec Mr., pastorella Doh., agelastus Nic.) (148 e as 7nooleyana) moolaiana. 
neither has any tail; $ sometimes more bluish-violet, sometimes more of a lilac tint; beneath in the cell of 
the forewing only 2, not 3 margined spots, the 4th spot of the postmedian band not distinctly, distally 
removed. Larger than the preceding species. Indo-China. 
A. amphimuta Fldr. (148 e). As the figure shows, the species is beneath very similar to rafflesii, so amphimuta. 
that it was also taken to be it (by Distant). But it differs from it in the entire absence of the small tail 
on the hindwing. The is above also darker, of a dark violettish-brown. Malacca. 
A. inomata Fldr. (148 f). The markings of the monotonously earth-brown under surface are quite inornata . 
dull, in some places almost entirely extinct, as particularly in the marginal area of the forewing. Above 
the is of a bright violettish blue colour. In the scheme of markings it is most similar to moolaiana (148 e). 
Hinclwing tailless. Malacca, but it is said to have been found also in the Philippines. 
A. asia Nic. (148 e as avia) is said to differ distinctly from the preceding species in the much broader asia. 
wings; the forewing is distally so much widened that the apex forms an almost obtuse angle. Beneath the 
marking is clearer than in inornata (148 f), the spots being there several times confluent are here sharply separated. 
Malacca, Sumatra, Borneo, where it seems not to be rare. 
A. kurzi Dist. above entirely resembles a small inornata (148 f) and likewise exhibits the marking kurzi. 
in the marginal area of the forewing beneath almost entirely extinct, but the colouring of the under surface 
is much darker, of a deep bark-coloured brown. Penang. 
A. agesilaus Stgr. (148 f). Beneath similar to kurzi, but of a somewhat lighter ground-colour, with agesilaus. 
a more coherent postmedian band of the hindwing. Above distinguished by the much broader black margin 
also in the <$, where it is about 3 mm broad. Malacca, Sumatra, Borneo, Palawan, and Philippines. 
A. catori Hmps. (148 f) is extremely similar to agesilaus, above almost entirely the same, but beneath catori. 
the postmedian band of the hindwing is almost entirely broken up into single small spots. Above the cell only 
1 ring-spot is distinct. Borneo, Palawan. 
A. similis Drc. (= anila Nic.) (150 c). In this species, contrary to catori, all the 4 spots in the costal similis. 
area of the hindwing beneath are distinctly developed and in distinct light rings. In the forewing the 
postmedian transverse band is entirely absent, whilst in the hindwing it is broken up into hardly contiguous 
rings. Above the <$ is still more broadly margined with black than the preceding species, particularly in the 
apex; the $ is very similar to it, lighter blue. Sumatra, Borneo. 
A. agesias Hew. (150 B e) is likewise above quite similar to the preceding species, of a violettish blue, agesias. 
the black margin being particularly broad in the apex of the forewing. Beneath the postmedian band is on 
both wings formed by a chain of distinct ring-spots which, however, are distinctly separated from each other. 
The metallic blue scaling in the anal portion of the hindwing is very intense and is continued to the centre of 
the margin; it may also be of a gold-bronze or greenish gloss. — In ovomaculata Hew. (148 f as agesias) which ovomacula- 
Bethune-Baker considers to be only individually different, the antemarginal blue on the hindwing beneath ta - 
is almost continued to the apex, and the discal ring-spots are so much enlarged that they are often contiguous. 
Malacca, Sumatra, Borneo.
