Length of forewing : S, 41 — ^o mm. 

 „ „ „ 5 , 47—56 mm. 



The penis is very strongly denticulate (PI. VIII. f. 4), the number of teeth is 

 large ; they stand in an irregular donble or treble series which widens out proximally 

 into a sinistro-lateral patch ; penis-funnel long and slender.

 Sikkim, the Khasia, Naga, and Garo Hills. 



The species is rarer than < 'h. marmax. It was generally considered to be 

 lunawara, until Moore pointed out tliat lunawara was nothing else but marmax. 

 In Sikkim it is met with at lower elevations. Doherty found it to be rare in the 

 Lower Kali valley, Knmaon.

S. Willys above. — Forewing : median bars .SC— R' midway between apex of 

 cell and the respective discal bars, in the specimens which have the latter much 

 enlarged a little nearer these black discal patches ; discal Inniform bars R' — SM' 

 tawny ochraceous, seldom blackish ; postdiscal tawny orange interspaces SC^ — S(f 

 sometimes very small, but apjiarently never quite replaced by black; admarginal tawny 

 line generally developed behind and near apex, much less in middle of margin, where 



the tawny colour appears often only at the tij) of the veins, or is quite absent. 



Hindwing : postdisco-submarginal patches very variable in size, the middle ones 

 pointed externally, postdiscal portions of these smaller than submarginal ones, white 

 submarginal dots sometimes absent, the second the last to disappear : marginal 

 line indistinct ; tails short, upper one 1 J to 4 mm., dentition of edge of wing some- 

 times feebly developed.
