8 ME. G. T. EETHUXE-BAKER : A REVISION OF THE 



fore wing; on the hind wing it extends from just below the lower subcostal to 

 the subraedian vein, leaving the upper part of the cell dark ; a narrow black marginal 

 line. Below the ground is light fuscous brown, as in amisena, but with the cell and 

 disc of the fore wing much darker and the basal and apical half of the hind wing 

 deep violet-brown. Fore wing with a short oblicpae dark streak in the middle of the 

 cell, a larger one across its end, and one or two costal streaks ; a transverse discal line 

 of joined lunules (separated in amisena) from the second subcostal to below the lower 

 median, projecting outwardly below the lower radial vein ; apex widely, and outer 

 margin narrowly, pale fuscous. Hind wing with the transverse discal fascia consisting 

 of a broken dull silvery line on a deep brown ground, an obscure, outer, discal, 

 transverse band, pale on the dark apical, and dark on the pale abdominal ground ; an 

 obscure metallic patch in the lower median space. 



? . Above dull brown, a slightly paler area in the middle of the disc. Below the 

 dark area of the fore wing is confined to the neighbourhood of the median spaces on 

 the disc, that of the hind wing to a band across the wing from the apex to the hind 

 margin, crossing the end of the cell ; a distinct whitish spot basally between the 

 costal and the subcostal veins ; the inner transverse line united, crossing the dark 

 area subapically ; the outer one consisting of pale lunules, bordered, especially 

 outwardly, by a dark band in which there are two dark subapical spots, the second 

 larger. 



This species has the hind wing strongly angled at the end of the middle median 

 vein, and quite straight thence to the anal angle ; there is no trace of tails or lobes. 

 The fore wing is not falcate in either sex. The egg and venation are as in amisena 

 and quercetorum. It is a very distinct species, and the male is very richly coloured. 



One male and several females taken on the pass near AVagung, Tavoy District, at 

 1500 feet altitude. 



S. stimvla de Niceville, the type of which is before me, is, without doubt, only a 

 large example of this species.

 Wings less ample, but strong. Primaries with the costa curved at the base, 

 excavated slightly in the middle, then straight; apex rounded; outer margin convex 

 at apex, then concave ; inner margin straight. Costal nervure of medium length, 

 ending about the apex of the discoidal cell : first subcostal nervule curved upwards 

 near the base ; second subcostal rising midway between the first and the upper discoidal 

 nervule ; third subcostal long, from the subcostal nervure nearer to the apex of the 

 wing than to the origin of the upper discoidal ; fourth subcostal (not present in 

 the female) very short, rising close to the apex of the wing; the end of the
