Space, a larger one at the base of the first median interspace, a pair of 

 Streaks in the submedian interspace, outwardly joined to two oval 

 whitish spots) a large streak on the inner margin— all greyish- 

 Ochreous ; the apical half of the wing including the outer third of 

 the cell dark brown strongly glossed with purple ; an oval spot at the 

 lower outer end of the cell, a discal series of seven spots, and a 

 submarginal series of nine — all white more or less edged with purple 

 of a lighter shade than tko pui'ple-glossed ground-colour. Hindicing 

 brown ; a streak in the cell, and eight streaks round it, one in each 

 intersjaace — greyish-ochreous ; a submarginal series of seven pale 

 ochreous-whitish spots, the upper one oval, the rest dentate ; seven 

 small white spots on the margin, one in each interspace. Underside, 

 both wings dull brown, the spots and streaks as above. Foreicing 

 entirely lacking the purple gloss, and the purple edging to the spots. 

 Antenna? black ; head, thorax and abdomen black, streaked and 

 spotted with white. 



The female of P. tckari-hus is now described for the first time* 

 It is the only specimen of that sex I have seen, though the males 

 are by no means very rare. It is probable that both sexes 

 mimic the corresponding sexes of Euplo&a (Trejjsichrois) midamus-, 

 Linnteus (= T. linncei, Moore), which is certainly the commonest 

 species of the genus in the regions where P. telearchus is found; 

 Mr. Moore suggests that it mimics Eupkea (Isamia) splendens^ 

 Butler (= E. rogcnhoferi, Felder). I much doubt this, as that species 

 is always a rare one wherever it occurs ; at any rate the female of 

 P. telearchus does not mimic it, the opposite sexes of E. rogcnhoferi 

 being superficially the same, while the female of P. telearchus differs 

 widely from the male in coloration and markings as do the opposite 

 sexes of E. midamus. 



I am indebted to the Rev. Walter A. Hamilton for the loan of 

 the specimen described above. It was obtained by his native 

 collectors in the Khasi Hills below Shillong;
