 well defined, the former with wliite sealing at distal side; between R' and SM' the 

 postdiscal bars are Inniform, 3 to 5 mm. distant from discal ones, the interspaces 

 filled by maroon-red patches; snbmarginal white spots linear, thin, spots R' — iSM'- 

 curved, spot C — SC^ vestigial or absent; black snbmarginal bars more or less lead- 

 colour, fused with the marginal line ; three admarginal yellow spots from R^ to 

 SM^, the anal one large: pale bine spots at tips of veins, that beliind R'' and the 

 one before M^ extending to near tip of tails; fringe of abdominal margin black; 

 area enclosed by SIP, (SM'), and median bar (SM') — SM' black, densely sjjrinkled 

 over with white scales; interspace between snbmedian and median bars white, like 

 basal, discal, and rest of abdominal area.

The Java form with the less extended white scaling of the ujjpersidc and tlie 

 more clearly marked posterior discal and postdiscal spots of the nndersidc of the 

 forewing represents the less specialized of the two known geogra]ihieal races ot'l-ar/i'ni. 



Dr. Butler (Jourr. Linn. Soc. Loiid. XXV. p. 38()) considers Itaili-iii to be inter- 

 mediate between the " athamas and schrejberi groups " : it is, however, more closely 

 allied to cognatus and pyrrhiii^ in the development of the markings than to either 

 othamas or sclirciber. 



In Doubleday's Qenem of Diurn. Lep. II. p. 30S, we read under .\</m/i//,i//s 

 (=z C/iara.res auct.): "A very remarkable and beautiful new species in the ransenm 

 of the Jardin des Plantes has the tails well developed, but instead of being straight 

 and parallel they are curved, so that the tips nf each pair converge, nearly meeting 

 together. It is a native of the Eastern Archipelago, and has been named in MN. 

 N. De Haanii." 



This (leh(Kud is most probably our insect, bnt the above description of the shape 

 of the tails is not sufficient to remove all doubts : for if in long-tailed Eidepis and 

 Chamxes, when set out, the tails become slightly twisted, they appear to be curved, 

 pointing towards each other ; it is possible (though not probable) that the insect 

 referred to as dehuani had the tails converging towards each othfer for the same 

 reason, and was not kadeni.
