clouds, the bars — R' completely fused with the postdisco-submarginal patches ; 

 discal interspaces white or yellowish white in front, this colour shading off behind 

 into tawny, forming an irregular band which extends to near abdominal fold, bat is 

 very indistinct behind ; postdiscal-submarginal patches R' — SM" larger than in S, 

 often touching each other, sometimes their postdiscal portions well developed, in 

 which case the linear, white, submarginal spots stand in the centres of the patches, 

 outer edges of the patches (submarginal bars), however, always deeper black than 

 rest of the patches ; admarginal line more distinct than in S. 



Underside similar to that of S, but proximal portions of discal interspaces 

 cream colour, outer marginal region of both wings also much paler than in S, 

 the discal lunules bordered with cream colour distally ; submedian interspaces 



more or less creamy, at least at bars. Forewiug : median bar R' — M' much 



more distal than the bars R- — R' and M' — M', interspace between median bars 



SC^ — R° and cell coloured like rest of median interspaces. Hindwing : line of 



median bars much broken ; postdiscal bars broad, deeply triangularly concave, 

 proximally shading into the raw umber colour of the postdiscal interspaces, bar 

 SC*— R' sometimes absent ; upper tail 7 mm. long, not spatulate, second tail just 

 indicated. 



Length of forewing : c?, 41 — 45 mm.

Ilab. Borneo ; Sumatra ; Malay Peninsula ; much rarer than Ch. polyxena 

 repetitus of the same countries. 



In the Tring Museum : 5 t?(^, 2 ? ? from Borneo ; 8 c? <? from the Gayoe and 

 Battak countries of N.E. Sumatra ; 1 <S from the Palembang district, S.E. Sumatra ; 

 1 ? from the Malay Peninsula. The last-mentioned ? has the postdisco-sub- 

 marginal patches of the hindwing larger than the Borneau examples. Dr. Hagen 

 says that he received this insect only from the Gayoe countries in Sumatra, but 

 rather commonly, and that he caught one example at Singapore ; and notes the 

 variability of the specimens as regards the white band of the forewing. Dr. Martin 

 also notices that it was caught only in the forests west and north of Selesseh by the 

 Gayoes, except a few specimens from the Battak Mountains.

(S. Similar to Ch. bornee/ms, but the band of the forewiug above is pure white, 

 more regular, sharply limited by the median bars R- — SM'- which stand in a regular 

 oblique, row, bar R^ — M' being less distal than in borneensis ; there are no post- 

 discal spots marked. Hindwing : median bars C — R- marked, the following one 



vestigial, there is a little white scaling at bar C— SC" ; postdisco-submarginal 

 patches R' — M' larger than in boi-neemis. 



Underside tawny russet, postdiscal interspaces more tawny, the snbbasal and 

 submedian bar much less edged with white than in borneensis, lines of bars much 



more regular. Forewiug : median bars R- — SM- continuous, with or without 



yellowish white patches at their outer side. Hindwing : median bars 8C- — W 



nearly continuous, very much closer to discal lunules than to submedian bars ; 

 white submarginal spots linear, heavy, except the third ; admarginal interspaces 

 pale tawny ; admarginal line tawny ; upper tail 4i mm. long, second a short tooth.
