 al)breviatefl fascia and a small yellow dot beyond it, and on the hindwing.s a large

Euscliema nudayanus Wlk., ii., p. 407 (nee Gueri. 



Hazis malayaria Guen., PhuL, ii., p. 189 (nee Guerin). 



Gu^rin's inalayanus is, as Snellen says, quite different : in it, the abdominal 

 margin, as well as a patch at the anal angle, is yellow. Guenee's reference is plainly 

 to this sjjecies, as he speaks of the yellow iiinule. It would appear to be a ratlier 

 common island form.

 and the dark purple markings coarser and thicker. The markings of the hindwings
