RHOPALOCERA MALAY AN A. 109 



of spots move continuous and amalgamated, but not dilated into n, distinct patcli at apex. Wings beneath 

 paler and with the pale central fascia very broad and occupying the whole disk of both wings ; on posterior 

 win<^s this fascia is almost straight outwardly, and not concave from costa to first median nervule as in 

 ('. hdic and C. moori. 



Exp. wings, 68 milHm. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (Dist.— coll. Butl.) : l\ralacca (Phnvill— Brit. Mus.— coll. 

 Dist.)— Borneo (Druce). 



This species appears to be moderately rare in Province Wellesley ; one specimen which 

 I captured myself, and which is now in the possession of Mr. Butler, ])eing the only example 

 I have seen from that locality. It is, however, not uncommon in i\Ialacca.

Male. Wings above reddish ochraceous. Anterior wings with two small contiguous black spots at 

 u[.per end of cell ; apex and outer margin broadly black ; this black area has its inner margin sinuous 

 and emargiuate, it is broadest inwardly and most angulated beyond cell, and commences to diminish 

 in width beneath the lower discoidal nervule, till it narrowly terminates at posterior angle. Posterior 

 wings with a submarginal row of black spots placed between the nervules (two at anal angle more or less 

 suffused with grey) and with a black apical patch. Wings beneath pale castaneous Avith steely reflections. 

 Anterior wings with the basal half crossed by four waved black lines commencing near the subcostal 

 nervure, the two inner ones crossing cell about centre, and continued on posterior wings, terminating near 

 base of internal nervure; the third commencing a little before, and the fourth some distance beyond 

 end of cell (where there is a terminal black line and a linear ovate black marginal spot), between which the 

 colour is distinctly darker, and continued and terminating on posterior wings at internal nervure (between 

 these on posterior wings is a curved terminal line to cell) ; these are followed Ijy a discal and much-waved line 

 of the same colour, followed on posterior wings by an oblique bluish black fascia, which becomes almost 

 fused with the termination of the discal line near anal angle, where there is a large blackish spot; 

 anterior wings with an apical greyish spot and an indistinctly dentate submarginal greyish fascia inwardly 

 preceded by a few more or less distinct dark spots ; posterior wings with a submarginal row of bluish spots 

 placed between the nervules and preceded by transverse greyish streaks (two of these spots at anal angle). 

 Body more or less concolorous with wings ; posterior and intermediate femora thickly spotted with black. 

 Exp. wings, <? 90 millim.* 



Hab.— Tenasserim ; near Meetan, Moolai (Moore).— Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (coll. 

 Sauer). — Borneo (colls. Dist., Godm. & Salv., and Brit. Mus.). 



A single male specimen captured by Mr. Saiier in Province Wellesley, and which is here 

 figured, is the only example I have seen from that locality. It is, however, recorded by 

 Mr. Moore from Tenasserim, a locality from which that entomologist has described a closely 

 allied form under the name of C. a<jna,\ between which and typical Boruean examples 

 of ('. harpax the form here figured is intermediate. Consequently we must allow for variation 

 in these tawny Charaxes, where no distinct local race has become differentiated. 



* This is tlie expansion of the sjiecimen fi-urcd from Province Wellesley and of Boruean males in my own collection, 

 though I possess others (unfortunately with no locality) which are much smaller.
