Arhopala japonica

horishana Mats, occurs which is described (from a single female) to be above more broadly margined, beneath distinctly darker, with very narrow transverse bands, and much larger basal spots on the hindwing than in japonica.

which de Niceville takes to be a dimorphous form of rama with which it flies in some valleys of Kashmir, also an aberration is described: — ab.

[ now species Arhopala comica] - from Bhamo in Upper Burma, above like dodonea, beneath with a denser, more intense colouring and somewhat removed macular markings.

— The imagines of this group of forms are in some parts common; they are the only Amblypodia I noticed flying among cornfields.

I captured dozens in Nagasaki on fresh autumn mornings; they proceed the farthest to the north as well as in a vertical direction up to hibernal altitudes, and Doherty observed rama flying yet in great numbers in winter near Ramgarh, when snow covered the ground.
