lillOPALOCEUA MA LAY AN A. 81 



About fourteen species are described, two alouo of which have at present been received 

 from this region; these, however, represent respectively the smallest and most beautiful species 

 of the genus. 



1. Clerome gracilis. (Tab. VIII., fig. 1 J .) 



Clerome iiriicUis, Butler, Auu. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 3, vol. xx. p. 401, t. 8, f. 7 (18C7). 



Male. Wiugs above brownish ochraceous; posterior wings with a somewhat faint discal ocellated 

 spot, situate between the second and third median nervulcs. Wings beneath somewhat paler, and crossed 

 by two waved narrow fuscous fascine ; the first passing through the centres of both cells, and the second 

 commencing about costal margin of anterior wings, passing beyond the cellular apices and terminating near 

 the middle of abdominal margin to posterior wings ; a submarginal and strongly sinuated narrow fuscous 

 fascia to both wings. Between the central and submarginal fasciae are placed the following spots :— on 

 anterior wings a series of four small whitish spots placed between the nervules, the first above upper 

 discoidal nervule, and the fourth beneath first median nervule, followed between the second and third 

 median uervules by an ocellated spot, black, with a pale centre and ochraceous and black margins. 

 Posterior wiugs with an ocellated spot between the subcostal nervules, followed by three whitish spots 

 between the nervules, and an ocellated spot between the second and thml median nervules. Body and legs 

 more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, S 53 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Malacca (Brit. Mus.) ; Singapore (coll. Hewits.)— Borneo.* 



I have not seen the female of this species. The typical male specimen was collected 

 in Malacca by Lieut. Eoberts, and a specimen in the British Museum is here figured. It is 

 one of the smallest species of the genus, and appears to be seldom found by collectors. 



2. Clerome faunula. (Tab. VIII., fig. 2.) 



Clerome Juunula, Westwood, Gen. Dim-u. Lep. p. 83-4, n. 3, note, t. 64, f. 1 (1851). 



Clerome (Mehmocijma] J'aunula, Wostw. Traus. Ent. Soc. ser. 2, vol. iv. p. 18G, t, 21, f. 2 (1858). 



Female. Wings above pale fuscous ; posterior wiugs with the abdominal half beneath cell and to about 

 second median uer\Tile bright shining yellow. Anterior wings with the upper disco-cellular nervule very 

 darkljT infuscated and with the following dark markings : — a transverse streak across cell near a^^ex, preceded 

 by a rounded spot, beneath which are two other spots situate between the base of the third median nervule 

 and the submedian nervure; two discal, transverse, strongly waved, and sinuated fascia3, the first crossing wing 

 a little beyond apex of cell, and the second being somewhat submarginal, and a very faint, waved, narrow, 

 marginal fascia, which is obsolete towards apex. Posterior wings with the following dark markings : — an 

 oblique fascia near base terminating about internal nervure ; two very strongly waved and sinuated discal 

 fasciae, which become united at lower subcostal nervule, the inner one then crossing w'ing at apex of cell 

 and terminating near centre of submedian nervure, the outer one somewhat submarginal and much less 

 strongly waved and sinuated after passing first median nervule, till it terminates at submedian nervure ; 

 and a waved marginal fascia becoming obsolete towards anal angle. Wings beneath pale greyish, marked 

 as above, but with the yellow coloration of the posterior wings richer and darker, and with all the fasciae 

 and spots very dark fuscous ; costal area of the anterior wings pale fuscous. Body and legs more or less 

 concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 98 millim. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula ; Malacca, Mount Ophir (D. Wallace) ; Singapore (Brit. Mus.)— Cambodia
