 AJis supra rufo-fuscis,fasciis duabusfuscis (posticis tribus) . Anticis 

 macula discali nigra punct is hinis notata punctisque tribus sub-apical ibus

Upper-side : dark brown. Both wings crossed beyond the middle by two dark 

 brown bands, the second, which is sub-marginal, divided into spots. Anterior wing 

 with a round black spot at the end of the cell, marked by two minute white spots, 

 and bordered with paler colour : three minute white spots near the apex upon the 

 first transverse band, and below them upon the same band, one very minute spot. 

 Posterior wing crossed before the middle by a brown baud. 



Under-side : anterior wing as above, except that there is an ochreous spot near 

 the anal angle. Posterior wing yellow, with some spots near the costal margin, an 

 indistinct transverse band below the middle, and the outer margin brown. A sub-

Allied to Paulinus, Cram. The five species wliich I have de- 

 cribed above are very much alike, and all have the discal black spot of 

 the anterior wing dotted with white, as in the genus Mesosemia. 



[There are three other specimens in the collection, without locality, 

 which only differ from the type in having the hind- wings clay-colour 

 beneath, instead of yellow.— "W. P. K.]

DESCEIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OP SELIOCOPRIS. 

 BT D. SHARP, M.B. 



I have for some years been acquainted with a male of a species of 

 Seliocopris of great size, being myself in possession of portions of 

 an individual found by Mouhot in Laos, and having received from C. 

 M. Wakefield, Esq., an individual obtained from the collection of the 

 late Achille Deyrolle. As I have recently obtained a series of specimens 

 from the collection of the late Andrew Murray, I am now enabled to 

 make known the sexes and extreme developments of the species. Mr. 

 Murray's specimens bore no label of any kind, but were placed in 

 one of his boxes of Indo-Malayan Copridce. The specimen in Dey- 

 rolle's collection was labelled "■ 3IaclelJandi,'WG&i^., Cochin China,"
