108 RHOPALOCEllA MALAY AN A. 



discoidal nervule, where it contains a small greenish spot ; the pale fascia is outwardly narrowly margined 

 with castaneoiis, and followed ])y a series of castaneous lunulate spots (in pale specimens the margins of 

 the spots only are castaneous) placed hetween the nervules, with an additional blackish spot above the 

 submedian nervure. Posterior wings with the central pale fascia narrower, outwardly concave from costa 

 to first median nervule, and angularly terminating at third median nervule, outwardly and narrowly 

 margined as on anterior wings ; this margin is widened between the costal nervure and first subcostal 

 nervule, where it is more or less marked with fuscous, followed by a castaneous spot placed on each side 

 of the lower subcostal nervule, and becoming very broad at the area of the median nervules, where it 

 contains two whitish linear spots, and is outwardly margined with fuscous ; it is then again narrowed and 

 continued to abdominal margin near anal angle, where it is preceded by two transverse and contiguous 

 blacdvish lines ; a marginal series of small dark spots placed between the nervules, the caudate appendages 

 margined as above. Body above somewhat infuscated, beneath more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 70 to 72 millims. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (Biggs — coll. Gosse). — Sumatra 

 (Brit. Mus.)— Borneo (Druce). 



The specimen figured was collected by the Rev. L. Biggs in Malacca, and is contained in 

 the collection of Mr. P. H. Gosse. It is interesting as showing the varietal character of the 

 colour of the marginal spots to the posterior wings. In a Province Wellesley specimen in my 

 own collection these spots are as pale as in the Sumatran type figured by Mr. Butler.* 



6. Charaxes moori,t n. sp. (Tab. XIII. , fig. Z $ .) 



Male. Wings above as in C. licbc, but anterior wings with the apex narrower and less produced, the 

 outer black marking narrower, not extending so far inwardly on disk and at area of median nervules, and 

 not prominently narrowing at posterior angle ; its inner margin much waved. Posterior wings with the 

 dark submarginal spots with white centres as in the var. of C. hehe here figured (Tab. XV., f. 2), but 

 prominently widened into a large blackish patch near apex. Wings beneath as in C. liehe, but with 

 the central pale fascia to both wings much broader, thus approaching the outer margins much more 

 closely than in Butler's species ; the ground colour is also considerably tinged with steely blue. 



Exp. wings, S 68 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (colls. Dist. and Saiier). 



I have seen none but male specimens of this species. I first captured a specimen myself 

 thirteen years since, and have lately received another from the same locality. It is also 

 contained in Mr. Sailer's collection. Its natural position is intermediate between the previously 

 described species, C. hehe, Butl., and the following species, G.jahjsus, Feld.

Male. Wings above as in C. moori, but paler ; the anterior wings with the black apical area 

 considerably smaller, its inner margin nearly straight. Posterior wings with the submarginal border
