b)' ill-defined hrown patches with a more distinct dot upon internervnlar fold, these 

 dots somewhat closer to discal lunitbrm bars than to outer margin of wing ; discal 



interspaces often rather whitish at median bars. Hindwing : bar D heavy and 



prominent ; cell-bar 4 reaching M beyond origin of M'- ; siibbasal and submedian 

 series of bars continned to S&P ; median bar R' — M' more distal than the two bars 

 near it, 3 to 4 mm. from base of M' ; jjostdiscal bars thin, more or less regularly 

 arched ; white submarginal dots vestigial or absent, black dots not very prominent, 

 npper two mostly absent, admarginal brown line faint ; ujiper tail short, triangular, 

 2 to 4 mm. long, second a very short tooth. 



? . Similar to S, but larger, paler, the white markings of the forewing mostly 

 more extended ; tail 6 to 8 mm. long, less pointed than in S, very faintly spatulate. 



Length of forewing : S, 44—52 mm. 

 „ „ ), S , 50 — 57 mm. 



Tenth tergite of abdomen deeply sinuate, the two processes long and slender ; 

 penis-funnel long ; penis denticulate along the upper edge, the teeth prominent, 

 standing in an irregular row which is sometimes double before end ; extreme tip of 

 penis without teeth, slightly curved towards the left. 



Ilab. From Burma to Java and Borneo ; rare, a forest species. The geographical 

 races of this species from Java, Borneo, Malacca, Sumatra, and from Tenasserim- 

 Burma are so conspicuously different that in 1893 I thought myself justified in 

 treating them as distinct species. But we find now, on examination of a larger 

 material, that the distinguishing characters of these geographical representatives 

 are not so constant as I at first considered them to be.

S. Wings above. Forewing : chestnut-colour, reaching jnst to base of M' ; 



no white dots near npper angle of cell ; discal markings M- — SM- fused together 

 forming a sharply pointed M, spots SC^ — M^ angle-shaped, rather thin, spot W — R^ 

 sometimes absent ; postdiscal markings R' — SM^ very much heavier ; discal and 

 postdiscal patches at internal margin fused; admarginal spots between veins obvious, 



last two separate. Hindwing : interspaces between median and discal huiiform 



bars creamy white, the discal series of luniform bars marked, especially between 

 C and R', or scarcely vestigial ; area in front of cell from near base of R' to median 

 bars blackish brown ; median bars C — R' deeply arched ; postdisco-submarginal 

 black patches small, the second the largest, diameter of patches R- — M' only 3 mm., 

 patches R' — R' and M' — SM^ somewhat smaller ; white marginal lunules well 

 marked. 



Underside with a purplish brown tint all over in side light. Forewing: median 



and discal bars very much closer together than median and submedian ones, xicholi 

 agreeing in this resjiect best with the Java form; postdiscal interspaces R' — SM, 

 very much wider than discal ones, much shaded with drab. Hindwing : post- 

 discal interspace SC— R' wider than the others, the discal bar SC— R' much closer 

 to median bar than this is to submedian one ; bars on abdominal fold much more 

 broken in our speciinen tjjan iu the figure in Rhop. Exot., tail also a little longer.
