Show 1896.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENID^E. 665 somewhat different, and A. acestes is much more spotted in appearance beneath than A. bella. I have a fine pair of this species before me, both taken on Kina Balu, from Dr. Staudinger's collection. ARHOPALA HAVILANDI, sp. n., Bethune-Baker. (Plate XXX. figs. 8 tf.9 $.) Kina Balu. Expanse, o* 2 > 47-48 millim. o*. Upperside: both wings brilliant deep purplish blue, in some lights looking dull purplish, whilst with a side light there is quite a brownish lustre over the one side ; costa and outer margiu of primaries very finely black; secondaries with costa broadly and narrowly black ; tail fine, black tipped with white ; abdominal fold greyish. Underside : both wings cinnamon-brown, with a pinkish-violet tinge, with darker brown spots very palely margined. Primaries with three good-sized increasing cell-spots-a very small spot being over the second and third close to the costa, and another between and almost touching them (i. e. the cell-spots), this spot varies much in size; below the third is a good-sized spot occupying tbe lower median angle; subdiscoidal cell dark, submedian area paler: the transverse band is composed of seven spots, the upper four being outwardly oblique, the second beingf shifted well beyond the small first one, the third very slightly inwards, the fourth right outwards, the fifth and sixth almost confluent, shifted well inwards but outwardly inclined, and below this is a smaller eighth spot, which is sometimes indistinct; submarginal row indistinct, sublunular. Secondaries with a small spot at the extreme basal angle of the costa, four basal spots below each other, the second and fourth shifted inwards, followed by three larger ones below each other ; cell closed by a large spot laterally edged ; transverse band beginning below the upper discoidal nervule and composed of six spots- the second shifted outwards, third inwards, fourth outwards, fifth angular spot quite detached and shifted far inwards and confluent with the long bottle-necked sixth spot; touching the outer margin of the spot closing the cell and the inner margin of the first spot of the transverse band are two spots confluent over each other, the upper one reaching the costa and the lower one as described but with its inner margin shifted right inwards, and being therefore the larger of the two; the submarginal row is sublunular and indistinct; anal area black, with bright bluish superimposed metallic scales; lobe-spot small, black : lobe scarcely developed at all. $. Upperside: both wings brilliant, lustrous azure-blue, dull violet in some lights and with the peculiar brown lustre in others. Primaries with somewhat narrow costa, broad outer margin, and very broad dark brown apical area ; at the margin of tbe blue patch beyond the upper apex of the cell are three or four deep black spots iu the interspaces of the nervules. Secondaries with all the margins broadly dark brown; the outer margin being less broad PROC. Z O O L . Soc-1896, N o . X L I I L 43 |
