Show 1892.] THE NAGA AND KAREN HILLS AND PERAK. 633 ARHOPALA BUXTONI. Amblypodia buxtoni, Hew. 111. Di. Lep. Suppl. p. 22, t. viii. figs. 68, 69 2 (1878). Arhopala buxtoni, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 262. Specimens from Perak agree with the type from Sumatra in Hewitson's collection. ARHOPALA PASTORELLA. A. pastorella, Doh. J. A. S. B. lviii. pt. ii. p. 418, t. xxiii. fig. 12 3 (1889); Butt. Ind. iii. p. 274. ? A. moolaiana, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 835 ; Butt. Ind. iii. p. 274. Also abundant in East Pegu, but rather smaller than the type from Tavoy and Tenasserim sent me by Doherty. I have a pair from Beeling, Tenasserim, taken by Lieut. Watson, which he calls A. moolaiana, Moore, and which are identical; if these are correctly named, the name of moolaiana has priority. ARHOPALA AMPHTMUTA. ? A. amphimuta, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. iv. p. 396 (1860); id. Reise Nov. p. 232, t. xxix. fig. 8 (1865); Butt. Ind. iii. p. 277, note. ? A. hypomuta, Hew. Cat. Lye. B. M . p. 11, t. vi. 64 o* (1862); Butt. Ind. iii. p. 276. A n abundant species at Perak. I believe the above-given names both represent this species; but now that the Felderian types have been acquired by Mr. Rothschild, it may be possible to make sure of identifications which have hitherto been in such genera as this very doubtful. ARHOPALA PERISSA. A. perissa, Doh. 1. c. p. 419, t. xxiii. fig. 11 o* (1889); Butt. Ind. iii. p. 278. This pretty species seems very common in East Pegu, and agrees with the type sent by Mr. Doherty from Tavoy. ARHOPALA DAVISONI. Narathura metamuta (part.), Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 267, t. xxiii. fig. 18 3 (1885), nee Hewitson. Arhopala davisoni, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 280, front, fig. 135, 3. Common at Perak, and agrees with specimens sent m e by de Niceville from Singapore. I have others from Borneo which agree on the underside, but there seems to be considerable variation in the breadth of the border, and I expect to find that this species has an older name. In the Hewitson collection it stands as A. inornata, Feld., but the figure of that species is not good enough to make out what it is. |
