BUTTERFLIES FROM THE INDO-MALAYAN REGION. 357 



second median nervule to the inner margin. Hindwing with a 

 narrow pale yellow costal streak ; a discal band in continuation of 

 that on the forewing, but narrower, extending broadly and diffusedly 

 on to the abdominal margin ; a broader submarginal band anteriorly 

 very attenuated; a narrow marginal line, disconnected in the second 

 median interspace at the base of the tail. Underside, both wings, 

 ground-colour pearly-white, blotched with burnt-sienna brown or 

 ferruginous ; heavily tesselated with black. Forewing with a narrow 

 black submarginal line, within which is another black line, discon- 

 nected, reaching from the costa to the second median nervule. Hind- 

 wing with a submarginal series of five more or less cordiform black 

 spots profusely powdered with metallic green and bounded by an 

 outer fine black line ; two fine marginal black lines, the inner one from 

 the third median nervule to the abdominal margin broadened out 

 and powdered with metallic green ; a metallic green streak anterior 

 to the anal indentation, bounded on both sides by a fine black line. 



Described from four male specimens collected by Mr. "W. Doherty 

 in Java. I have not seen a female, which sex was unknown to Godart 

 when he described the species. Boisduval's figure clearly represents 

 this species, and not the Indian form which I have described 

 below as S. sin is.
