RHOPALOCEllA MALAYAN A. 99 



H.U3. — Tenassei-im ; Houndi-au (Bingham — Brit. Mus.) — Malay Peiiinsula; Province Wellesley (colls. 

 Dist. and Saiier) ; Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. Mus.) 



The female form here described was collected by Mr. Saiier, and is the only specimen of 

 that sex which I have j^et been able to examine. The species is very closely alhed to the 

 Javan E. pohjiiicc, Cram. 



Rhinopalpa? eudoxia. (Tab. XVII., f. 6.)

This insect is only known to me by Guerin's iigure, which has been copied in this 

 work, and I have been as yet unable to find a specimen in any collection. The original type 

 was acquired by M. Adolphe Delessert from Malacca during his eastern voyage from 1834 to 

 1839. Several other insects described by Guerin, which were collected at the same time and 

 locality, are not unfrequently received from the Malay Peninsula, and it is probable that the 

 present species is of a rarer character, being either restricted in locality or of obscure habits, 

 such as of an entirely jungle life. 



Its structural appearance (as figured) allies it to the genus Bhi)iui)aljia, in which I have 

 placed it ; but of course, without examination of its neuration, it can only be placed provisionally 

 in that genus. 



I have thought it best to add the very careful description of Guerin Meneville, as originally 

 published : — 



" Ses ailes superieures sont d'un jaune-fauve eoulenr d'ocre, fortement concaves et dentees au bord 

 externe, d'lm brun pale a la base, avec I'extremite noiratre. Les inferieures sont dentees, elles nut luie 

 petite queue au milieu du bord externe et un petit prolongement arroudi a Tangle anal. Leur couleur 

 est semblable a celle des superieures, avec la base egalement brune et Tangle superieur externe noiratre. 

 Elles ont, pres du bord, deux lignes siuueuses, precedees de gros points noirs a contour plus pale quo le 

 fond, dont les deux plus externes touchent la tacbe apicale noire. On voit sur le milieu du lobe de Tangle 

 anal une petite strie oblique bleue. Le dessous est d'un brun jaunatre; la base des ailes, d"un jaune plus 

 pale au milieu, augmente de ton vers les bords, avec des lignes en zigzag blanches a reflets violaces et 

 d'autres lignes brunes et transversales. Les lignes blanches du milieu et celles qui longent le bord externe 

 sont plus largos et mieux marquees. II y a, en outre, au cote interne des lignes blanches du bord des 

 quatre ailes une ligne d'yeux brun horde de noir et pupille de bleu. On compte six de ces yeux aux ailes 

 superieures et cinq aux inferieures. La frange est alternativement noire et blanche des deux cotes. Le 

 corps est d'un brun jaunatre, les antennes noires."
