A. singla Nic. is very closely allied to bazalus, beneath almost the same, but the forewing of the £ 
exhibits a black cell-end spot and behind it another dentiform spot projecting into the blue disc. The $ has 
in the forewing a large violettish-blue basal spot, but in the hindwing only traces of blue in the basal portion. 
Otherwise the $ is the same as that of bazalus, but the singla are apparently much rarer. Sikkim. 
A. corinda (= acestes Nic.) (150 e). The is above very similar to a large <$ of bazalus or turbata, 
but it has not the stunted apex of the forewing and also a somewhat different violet reflection which, however, 
is only distinct in a certain light. Beneath the spots and bands are filled with a slightly darker colour than 
the ground-colour, the metallic place at the anal angle of the hindwing is distinct. $ above on both wings with 
a bright blue proximal area into which a black spot projects at the cell-end. Malacca, Philippines. 
A. bella B.-Bak. (150 B b). In the $ the upper surface is brown, but the marginal areas in both wings 
show 7 a violettish-blue reflection ; in the $ the whole upper surface is lilac-blue, with a black distal margin of 
3 to 4 mm width. Under surface with very dull markings which are feebly defined. Borneo. 
A. azinis Nic. (= kounga B.-Bak. p. p.) (149 f as dzius ) has the shape, size, and the approximate 
upper surface of one of the (tailed) forms of a ^ of the European Zephyrus quercus. The under surface exhibits 
the transverse bands and spots almost only by their light borders; the anal blue of the hindwing is distinct. 
Sumatra, Borneo. — buruensis Roll, is unknown to me, but it seems to be allied to azinis, and it presumably 
represents the latter or the following ace in the Isle of Burn. 
A. ace Nic. is an apparently very rare species from Malacca and Sumatra. Hitherto only the $ 
seems to be known which is above distinguished by a narrower black margin of the forewing w hich also shows 
a different blue. Beneath similar to agrata (150 B g), but the postmedian band of the forewing is much broader 
and beneath the 4th spot distinctly broken, whereas in agrata it is uniformly continued. Expanse of wings; 
46 to 55 mm. 
A. agrata Nic. (150 Bg) is somewhat similar to azinis, but larger, darker blue above and without 
the black margin. Beneath extremely similar to azinis, but in the proximal portions of the wings the spots 
are somewdiat more distinctly separated. Burma; Malacca. — Bethune-Baker also mentions Java as habitat. 
A. detrita Stgr. Only the <$ is known. Smaller than agrata (expanse of wings 30 mm); the blue colour 
above is brighter, the distal margin broad black, and beneath the postmedian band is particularly distinct, 
almost cpiite straight and on the fore wing neither interrupted nor broken. From Palawan. 
A. oenotria Hew. (147 g as oenotrea). The J is above dull lilac without a black marginal band; the $ 
dark brown wdth a violet spot across the greatest part of the forewdng, but in the hindwing the violettish-blue 
colour only extends across the cellular area. The under surface is very irregularly marked, the postmedian 
band is irregular, on the fore wing interrupted on the median and after this somewhat bent. The species recalls 
agnis, but it is smaller. According to Semper, specimens from Davao are above of a more glaring blue than 
specimens from Cebu (Philippines); Borneo, Nias. 
A. aedias Hew. (147 e). This species is in the male above magnificently lustrous light blue with a 
slight violet reflection; easily recognizable also by the under surface where the postmedian band of the forewdng 
is divided into 2 oblique, almost parallel demi-bands. In the hindwing the same band is not interrupted, but 
very irregularly edged. The species has long tails. From Java, where the insect is apparently very rare. 
A. yendava Sm. (150 B c). This beautiful species is above in both sexes dark lilac, the $ with a black 
distal margin of an average width of 4 mm. The postmedian band of the forewdng is here also in the centre 
very much interrupted, but the two ends of the interruption are nevertheless contiguous, which is not the case 
in aedias. The species is otherwise the most closely allied to agnis Fldr. From Burma. 
A. tameanga B.-Bak. (150 e, f) is still darker; upper surface almost black with a deep blue reflection 
with a lilac gloss in the disc of the wing; the $ with a very broad blackish-brown marginal band. Otherwise 
very similar to yendava ; but the postmedian transverse band on the forewing beneath is only flaw r ed in the 
centre, not broken through. Borneo. 
A. semperi B.-Bak. (150 f) differs from tameanga in the black margin of the wings being broader in 
the d 1 , but narrower in the $, particularly on the hindwing. Beneath the postmedian marginal band of the 
forewdng is somewhat irregular, particularly in the <$ in some places expanded into clouds. It is uncertain 
whether the $$ with regular though darkened bands are correctly ranged here. Borneo.

A. barami B.-Bak. (150 f). Here the $ is more dark blue than lilac and has a black distal margin barami. 
being in some places rather broad (as much as 4 mm). On the under surface the bands and spots are very 
regular, the postmedian band of the forewing is only slightly strangulated in the centre, in contrast with the
