BUTTERFLIES, FfiOM THE INDO-MALAYAN REGION. 377 



above it is a short line of orange defined on both sides by turquoise- 

 coloured scales ; a large round subanal jet black spot in the first 

 median interspace, broadly surrounded with orange ; the space be- 

 tween it and the anal lobe sprinkled with turquoise-coloured and 

 white scales ; a fine white marginal line, outwardly defined by an 

 antccilary black thread. 



I do not know any species to which R. refulgens is closely allied, 

 or with which it can be compared. The purple gloss of the upper- 

 side is visible in all lights, which is quite an unusual feature in the 

 males of species of this genus. I am still unable to identify 

 " Deudorix" rectivitta, Moore, from North Cachar, but my species 

 obviously differs from it by the character of the anal and subanal 

 spots of the hindwing on the underside. 



Described from a single example kindly given to me by the Rev. 

 Walter A. Hamilton, by whose native collectors it was obtained in the 

 Khasi Uills.

Description : Female. Upperside, both icings and cilia dull 

 hair-brown. Forewing with a very large oval spot occupying the 

 outer end of the discoidal cell, but not quite reaching the disco-cellular 

 nervules ; a circular spot towards the base of the second median 

 interspace, an oval spot rather larger than the spot above it in the 

 middle of the first median interspace — these spots lustrous semi-trans- 

 parent white ; the spot in the cell is anteriorly continued broadly to 

 the costa in an opaque snow-white patch. Hindmng with the black 

 spots of the underside shewing through obscurely. Underside, both 

 wings with the ground-colour a little paler than above, slightly wash 

 ed with vinous. Forewing with the spots as above, but with an 

 additional small rounded opaque white spot in the middle of the sub- 

 median interspace placed somewhat near the outer margin. Hind- 

 wing with a large rounded black spot close to the outer end of the
