interspaces of the forewing somewhat clouded with the same colonr ; admargiiial 

 interspaces of the hindwing yellowish wood brown to yellowish buff ; subbasal and 



median interspaces more or less pale olive brown ; bars rather weak. Forewing : 



interspaces between snbmedian and median bars M' — (SM') of about equal width. 



Hindwing : admarginal line tawny cinnamon, clearly defined ; upper tail 



4| to 5i mm. long, second If mm. 



?. WiiH/s above olive tawny. Forewing: upper angle of cell somewhat 



blackish, coil-bar 3 vestigial at SC ; bar D heavy; median bars SC'' — SO" heavy, 

 upper 2 only 3^ mm. from upper angle of cell, no white scaling at basal side of 

 bars ; discal band white, broadest (11 mm.) between R' and R^, narrowest behind 

 R-, extended to (not to edge of wing), shaded with olive tawny at internal 

 margin of wing, its outer edge sinuate between veins R* — SM" ; an elongate post- 



discal, huffish, spot between M" and SMI Hindwing ; median bars C — B^ 



forming a black continuous line, curving basad, sharply limiting the olive tawny 

 colour of the basal region, crossing R- 3 mm. from D ; a broad white, faintly 

 yellowish, band from costal margin to M' posteriorly shading into olive tawny, 

 9 mm. wide at SC", little narrower behind ; discal bars R' — (SM') clearly defined, 

 continuous, luniform, separated from the black postdisco-submarginal patches by 

 olive tawny interspaces, these interspaces becoming wider behind, interspace 

 SC^ — R' vestigial, discal bar C — SC^ completely fused with postdisco-submarginal 

 patches ; the latter heavy, patches R' — M' of the same size (T mm. in diameter), 

 the following one somewhat smaller, all these not separated ; white submargiual 

 spots rather heavy ; admarginal olive tawny interspaces all developed except the 

 first, anal one filled up with olive buff scaling. 



Underside as in c? ; upper tail spatulate, 8 mm. long, second 4 mm. 



Length of forewing : cj, 40 — 42 mm.

Hab. Palawan, 8 SS. One female in Dr. Staudinger's collection. The white 

 underside distinguishes this species from all allies. The most interesting feature of 

 the ? is the development of the discal, luniform, bars of the npperside of the 

 hindwing, which do not appear with the same distinctness in any other tawny 

 Chamxes.

(J ? . Body above raw umber colour, head and thorax with an olive-green gloss. 

 Underside brownish sepia colour; palpi cream colonr, middle of prosternum and 

 the tibiae and tarsi somewhat darker ; femora black with a dense sprinkling of 

 white scales. 



(?. WinffS above glossy tawny olive. Forewing : black outer area extending 



to upper angle of cell, strongly narrowing behind, about 9 to 10 mm. wide at SM-, its 



edge not sharply defined, bar D faint, no other bars present, no postdiscal spots. 



Hindwing : discal bars vestigial as dark luniform clouds, often extremely faint, 

 njiper two fused with the postdisco-submarginal patches ; of the latter series the 

 upper four are fused together, and generally also with the admarginal line, patches 

 R' — SM^ isolated, their proximal portions obsolete.
