of the third continued in an obhque line across both wings, terminating near anal angle of posterior wnigs, 

 this line being inwardly and broadly margined with white ; a slender, fuscous, irregularly rounded hne at 

 base of posterior wings, crossing cell ; ocellated spots as above, but paler, the large discal spot on posterior 

 wings being compressed, irregularly subovate and bipupilate,* the lower spot usually larger than above ; 

 marginal and submarginal lines as above, the inner terminating in a small black spot at anal angle. 

 Body and legs more or less coucolorous with wings.

Although the female forms of this species are usually the largest, the rule does uot 

 universally apply, as the female specimeu figured (Tab. XL, i. 1) bears witness. 



The larva and pupa of this insect, as observed in Java, are described and figured by 

 Horstield;' the larva is stated to feed "on a species of Jaslirlu bearing the native name of

In Ceylon this butterfly is stated to be " found all the year round," and to be " very 

 abundant about September to November" (Mackwood). §

Male. Anterior wings with the basal portion shining fuscous : costal area— excluding base and apex — 

 very pale ochraceous ; cell crossed by two reddish fasciae, one near centre, the other near termniation ; 

 a little beyond cell, commencing near subcostal nervure, is an oblique and inwardly much excavated pale 

 ochraceous fascia which reaches outer margin near apices of the median nervules ; beyond this is a smaller 

 and shorter fascia terminating at upper discoidal nervule, and a fainter and less continuous submargnial 

 fascia of the same colour ; two ocellated spots, the first broadly surrounded with reddish between the 

 discoidal nervules, the second and larger situate between the second and third median nervules ; beneath 

 this spot and near outer angle is a small pale bluish patch. Posterior wings pale bluish, abdominal margm 

 pale fuscous, base and an irregular patch occupying lower half of cell, very dark fuscous or black ; two 

 ocellated spots, one black, with an obscure paler centre between the lower subcostal and discoidal 

 nervules, the second and largest red, with a large pale bluish centre and black margins situate between 

 the second and third median nervules; a marginal and two submarginal waved black lines, between 

 which the colour is more or less distinctly pale ochraceous. Wings beneath pale but warm ochraceous ; 

 anterior wings with the base of cell, and two In'oad irregular fasciie crossing cell, reddish ochraceous, 

 the one at end of cell continued and terminating a little beneath third median nervule— this is 

 followed by a narrow waved Ijlack fascia; remaining markings as above, but the ocellated spots much

il The name of A. K. Wallace is here once more atfixed to an insect of that Malayan region with which he will always 

 be remembered, and for a knowledge of which we are so much indebted to him. The range of J. ivallacei is probably 

 cu-cumscribed by " Wallace's line," and does not extend farther eastward.
