1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin —Butterflies of Sumatra. 
381. *Lyc2enopsis cylinde, Boisduval. 
Grose Smith. Originally described from Dorei, New Guinea. 
Unless the type of this species still exists in M. Charles Oberthiir’s 
collection, it will be impossible to identify it from Boisduval’s short 
description. 
382. Amblypodia narada, Horsfield. 
Hagen. Grose Smith as anita. The A: anita of Hewitson was 
originally described from Siam, and is the common Indian and 
Ceylonese species. The coloration of the male on the upperside of both 
wings is more purple than blue, and it is not found south of Burma. 
A. narada is rich deep blue, and occurs in the Malay Peninsula. In 
Sumatra it is by no means common in the forests of the plains, and 
Dr. Martin possesses other specimens from Asahan and Indragiri. Dr. 
Martin notes that he has some very small examples of both sexes with 
a broader brown margin to the upperside of the forewing, and the 
markings of both wings on the underside more prominent, than in 
typical specimens. 
383. Iraota rochana, Horsfield. 
Originally described from Java. The I. boswelliana of Distant, 
described from Penang and Singapore, is a synonym of this species. 
Dr. Martin remarks that the male has three tails. As figured by 
Horsfield and Moore in Cat. Lep. Mus. E. I. C., vol. i, p. 44, n. 68, 
pi. ia, fig. 10, male (1857), there are only two. 
384. Iraota nila, Distant. 
Habitat: Malacca ( Distant) ; N.-E. Sumatra. 
Expanse : cT, 1'4 to 1*6 inches. 
Description: Male. Upperside, both wings black, with rich pur¬ 
ple markings. Forewing with a streak occupying the middle of the 
discoidal cell for its whole length ; two short streaks in the median inter¬ 
spaces, a very large one in the submedian interspace bisected by the sub¬ 
median fold, not reaching the outer margin; a short streak at the base 
of the sutural area. Hindwing with the disc purple divided by the black 
veins; the costa and abdominal margin rather broadly pale fuscous j 
tails two, of equal length, short, narrow, black tipped with white. 
Underside, both icings coloured and marked as in the female. Antennse 
black, the tip of the club above gamboge-yellow, beneath also of the 
same colour, but gradually merging into the ferruginous colour of the 
middle and base of the club. Head with two white lines across the 
face, the orbits white. Palpi with the apex black, the base white. 
Abdomen above black, beneath whitish.
