Labuan and Tameang-Lajang. T w o typical specimens, e mus. Dr. Staudinger and Herr Semper. ARHOPALA PSEUDOMUTA, Stgr. Iris, ii. p. 125. Hab. Malacca ; Borneo. Expanse, <3 46, 2 47 millim. cS. Upperside : both wings rather dull violet; primaries with narrow brown costa, and less narrow, but still narrow, black outer margin; secondaries with broad brown costa and narrow outer margin ; abdominal fold greyish ; tail brown, longish, tipped with white. Underside: both wings warm ochreous brown, with darker spots palely encircled. Primaries with three increasing cell-spots, below the third another in the lower median angle ; transverse catenulated band composed of six spots-the first three very oblique outwardly, the fourth inclined (not shifted) inwards so as to form a sharp curve with the lowest of the three, fifth shifted well inwards, sixth inclined outwards ; submarginal row rather indefinite ; submedian area paler, subdiscal area darker. Secondaries with a small spot at the basal costal extremity ; four basal spots, the third shifted slightly outwards, the fourth well inwards, followed by three larger spots below each other; cell closed by a subquadrate spot, below which is a small one touching the lowest of the three; catenulated band composed of eight spots-the second shifted outwards and detatched from the first and the third, third and fourth shifted right outwards, fifth well inwards, sixth outwards, seventh right inwards and detached, confluent with the long eighth spot; submarginal row sublunular and well defined; anal spot velvety black, preceded by two black spots, which are almost covered over with pale blue metalhc scales; the anal spot is also edged above by the same coloured scales. 2 • Upperside: both wings pale violet; primaries with rather broad costa, very broad apical area, and broad outer margins, all brown ; secondaries with broad brown costa, narrow brown outer margin, increasing slightly towards the anal angle. Underside similar to the male, but much paler, and in the secondaries the fourth spot of the catenulated band is projected more outwards. A male from North Borneo is decidedly bluer than those from Malacca, and the outer margin of the secondaries is rather wider. I have thought it well to fully describe this species, as Staudinger's description (Iris, ii. pp. 125 & 126) is almost purely comparative. -G. T. B.-B. ARHOPALA KOUNGA, sp. n., Bethune-Baker.
