forming together with the black snbmargiiial spots snbrotuiidate or bell-shaped 

 patclies in which the white siibiuargiual spots are situated, or staudinjr separate 

 from the bhick snbmargiual spots ; these bhick postdiscal spots are often altogether 

 absent, or are, at least, so much overshaded with white scaling that mere 

 vestiges of the black colonr remain visible ; sometimes, in the whitest individuals, 

 the wliite snbmarginal spots are fused with the white discal scaling ; there are very 

 seldom two black s])ots in cellule S< '- — R' jiroximally of the white snbmarginal 

 spot ; admarginal spots always marked, more or less wliito, those between tails 

 often less shaded white ; pale blue streaks in tails fused with admarginal sjwts, or 

 sejiarated from them (often only partly) by a ilark transverse line ; black marginal 

 border not thicker tlian black snbmarginal linear spots. 



Uiulcrsidr ^Forcwing : discal band at M- almost exactly as wide (1(1 mm.) 



as outer region of the wing. Hindwing : discal band 8i to 9i mm. broad at 



costal margin, its outer edge crossing M' 1^ to 3 mm. from point of origin of this 

 vein ; the band seldom extends a little beyond M-. 



?. L'pperside as white as in the whitest <S ; discal spot R' — R- larger than in 

 S ; the hindwing has only a feeble trace of the postdiscal black spots. On the 

 underside the discal band of both wings is much wider than in c?, that of forewing 

 measuring 134 mm. at M", that of hindwing 12 mm. broad at costal margin, its 

 outer edge crossing JI- 31 mm. from origin of this vein. 



Two ? ? from S.E. and S.W. Sumatra we have examined have the postdiscal 

 black spots of the hindwing longer than the darkest S from N.E. Sumatra, the 

 admarginal spots are also less white, and the discal band of the hindwing below is 

 also a trifle narrower ; S S from the eastern end of Sumatra we have not seen.

<J. Uppcrsidc. Forewing : bluish white scaling between M' and internal 



margin of wing as much extended as in liebe liehe, mostly not bisinuate between 



M^ and SM-. Hindwing : bluish white postdiscal scaling more or less extended 



along the veins (except C and SC-), separating the black onter area of the wing 

 into spots which, together with the black submargiual bars, form ronnded patches, 

 npper patches C — R' the largest, the black area measuring from tip of S('- to white 

 discal scaling in front of SC^ 6 to 7J mm. ; admarginal bars bluish white, inclusive 

 of the anal one, the yellowish colour seldom coming through ; bars SC- — R- 

 obsenre, ill-defined ; white snbmarginal spots heavier than in the Java form ( E. Iiebe 

 f(dl(i.r). 



Underside. Forewing : discal band at M- half as wide again (11 to 12 mm.) 



as the dark outer area of the wing ; discal bars SC— SM= heavy, bar SC*— SC'^ not 

 marked, or very faint ; median bar R' — R- (at proximal side of white discal spot) 

 heavy, in two examples a black dot before R' indicating median bar SO — R'. 

 Hindwing : discal band nearly half as wide again at costal margin (10 mm.)
