j\lale. Anterior wing olivaeeous-brown, darkest towards base, and witb tbe apex broadly lilaceous. 

 Posterior wings olivaceous-brown, witb a marginal and subiuarginal row of pale spots. Wings beneath 

 olivaceous-brown ; anterior wings witb four pale wbitisb discal spots, tbe first situated between first and 

 second subcostal nervules, tbe second in cell a little before lower disco-cellular nervule, tbird between first 

 and second median nervules, and fourth and largest between tbird median nervule and submedian nervure ; 

 a few mar"iual white spots near anal angle (in a second unlocalised male specimen in my collection there 

 are traces of a submarginal row of spots, distinct near apex and anal angle). Posterior wings witb tbe 

 marginal and submarginal spots as above, but much paler ; a small bluish white spot in and near end of 

 cell, and a series of four spots of the same colour beyond cell and placed between the nervules (in some 

 specimens there are six of these spots). Head blackish ; thorax above and abdomen fuscous. Head and 

 anterior portion of thorax spotted with white ; underside of abdomen spotted with bluish white. Head 

 beneath, sternum, and legs blackish ; palpi, sternum, and extreme base of wings spotted with white. 



Anterior wings provided with an elongate pseudo scent-gland or brand, situate between tbird median 

 nervule and submedian nervure. 



Female. I have as yet been unable to examine a female specimen from the Peninsula, and as 

 the male here described is of a somewhat varietal character I hesitate to give the diagnosis of tbe other sex 

 from a different habitat.

 Godm. & Salv.)— Siam (Brit. Mus.) ; Cbentaboon (coll. Godm. ct Halv.)— Cochin (coll. Feld.)— Philippines 

 (Brit. Mus.) 



The specimen here hgured and described is contained in the Godman and Salvin collection, 

 is labelled " Singapore," and was received from Mr. Druce. It is the only example of the 

 species I have yet seen from the Malay Peninsula. As will he seen from the description, 

 it is a somewhat varietal form, but until we have seen more specimens from the locality, 

 it would be extremely hazardous to consider it constant in that respect, especially as we have 

 already seen that these macular characters are generally of an inconstant and variable nature 

 in other species.
