by the nervules, the first and innermost of wliich is placed above tlic upper discoidal nerviile, and the sixth 

 between the third median mrvule and submedian nervure. Posterior wings with a suljmarginal series of 

 obscure gre3-ish spots, preceded by a few diseal spots of the same colour. Wings beneath pale ferruginous, 

 mottled with numerous and irregularly-sized chocolate striga\ Anterior wings with a costal series of pale 

 grej'ish spots ; four larger pale diseal spots situate one beyond cud df cell, two divided by the second median 

 nervule, and the fourth placed between the discoidal iicivulcs; there are also faint indications of a 

 siibmarginal scries of spots placed between the nervules, of which the two most prominent are placed above 

 and beneath the third median nervule. Posterior wings with some dark and confluent strigic principally 

 distributed on basal half, and with a i)rominent dark submarginal fascia, which is preceded by pale 

 greyish, and followed by several narrower, waved, and somewhat fused dark marginal fascia. Body and 

 legs moreair less concolorous with wings.

Female. I have not been able to examine this sex, but 'Mv. liutler * has described a female specimen 

 as of this species, which was collected in Singaiiore by Lieut. Roberts, as follows : — " 2 . Above, same 

 pattern as K. timaiidni, ? , Wallace,! but the whole apical area pale violet, and the rest of the ground- 

 colour of a browner tint than in that species. Below, markings the same as in the male, but ill-defined, 

 the hind wings whitish." 



Exp. wings, " 3^ inches." 



Hab. — !Ma,lay Peninsula. — Singapore (Butler). — Java (Wallace, and coll. Godm. & Halv.). 



I have euumerated this species entirely on the authority of Mr. Butler's determination of 

 the specimen collected at Singapore by Lieut. Roberts, in whose collection it remains, and 

 which I have not seen.

Male. Anterior wings dark violaceous, with paler suffusions on apical area, and with the following 

 very pale violaceous spots : — three diseal ; one large, placed between first and second median nervules, the 

 others exceedingl}' small and indistinct, and situate between the discoidal nervules and between the second 

 and third median nervules ; five large submarginal spots, divided by the nervules, of which the two upper, 

 inner, and largest are contiguous and separated by the lower discoidal nervule, the fifth being situate 

 between the third median nervule and the submedian nervure ; there is also a very faint indication of 

 a spot at end of cell. Costal area with basal third minutely spotted with greyish, remaining portion with 

 three or four pale bluish spots. Posterior wings castaneous, with the basal area fuscous. The extreme 

 margins of both wings are alternately fuscous and white. Wings beneath pale ferruginous, thickly mottled

 greyish spots on costal area ; the upper portion of cell and apical area somewhat paler in hue, and with 

 indications of a dark waved fascia near end of cell. Posterior wings somewhat darker, the strigae being 

 more numerous and contiguous, with indications of a much-waved and irregular dark fascia crossing wings 

 about end of cell, and a more or less distinct, broad, submarginal fascia, followed by several waved, broken, 

 and indistinct lines. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings.
