The insect is rare in ((illcctioiis. 



Whether tlie speiimens recorded from I'lirma bclonn; to this or the following 

 form we do not know ; the}- are very likely intermediate between as.iamt'tixi.i and 

 malayicus, just as the former leads over to icartli.

J . ]ViH(js, ahocc. Forewing : last patch of white band mnch narrower than 



the snbmedian one, obliqne, 2^ mm. broad ; submedian patch narrower than in the 



Javan form. Hindwing : white band posteriorly overshaded with bine, the white 



colour stopping at W : bntfish snbanal abdominal patch very faint, well marked only 

 at edge of wing. 



Underside. Silvery scaling of both wings more extended distally than in the 



Javan subspecies. Forewing : tawny discal patches larger than the white ones 



at their proximal side ; olivaceous marginal area narrower than in schreiber 

 si'hreiber. 



? . Wings, upperside. Forewing : last patch of white band mnch smaller 



than in the Javan race, measuring in front 5, behind 3i mm., obliqne, with a 

 purplish blue patch at its outside ; submedian patch concave outwardly ; spot 



R- — R^ small or absent ; discal spot ^V'' — R' absent or faint. Hindwing : white 



band oversliaded with violet from R^ ; violet discal scaling rather heavier than in 

 Javan examples of schreiber ; no reddish tawny spot at distal side of blue anal 

 lunule ; huffish snbanal abdominal patch as in S . 



Underside as silvery as in i: distal tawny spots of forewing larger than in

In the single Snmatran specimen that is known to science the silvery scaling 

 on the underside of the forewing, in the outer region, is not more extended than in 

 the Javan race, the tawny discal spots are also not larger than in that form. The 

 triangular huffish patch at the abdominal edge of the hindwing above is in the 

 specimens from Banka well indicated, though it is also here smaller than in 

 the individuals from Java. Whether the Burmese specimens of K. schreiber 

 belong to this or the preceding subspecies we cannot say, as we have not had an 

 opj)ortuiiity of examining examples from that country, where it is evidently very 

 rare. " Doherty picked up a tattered male of this insect in the streets of Toungoo," 

 says Elwes, I.e. Mr. Curtis obtained a number of specimens of both sexes on 

 Penang, in traps baited yn.i\i bananas, in January 1809.
