PJIOPA LOCERA MALA VAN A . 



Male. Wings al)Ove fuli^'illous-l)l•o^v^. Anterior wings with the inner margin and a l)road central 

 transverse fascia, wliicli is outwardly dentate and anteriorly bifurcate from median nervure to near costa, 

 dark brown : before and a little after the upper portion of this fascia the colour is paler than the remaining 

 outer portion of wing, which contains a submarginal waved and broken black line not reaching posterior 

 angle, where there is a dark brown patch ; there are also two basal black lines. Posterior wings with the 

 cell crossed by four black linos and a submarginal series of narrow linear black spots placed between 

 the nervules. Wings beneath pale greenish, suffused with ochraceous ; anterior wings with the cell 

 crossed by some l)l;u'k linos and a similar waved and broken line near its apex; two spots beneath cell 

 divided by the tliird niodian norvnle ; a waved submarginal narrow black fascia starting from a subapical 

 fuscous patch, which contains two whitish spots, and is inwardly margined by the same colour ; posterior 

 wings paler ; cell crossed by a looped line near its centre and a curved line near its apes — above the last 

 is a short line l)cneath the l)ase of lower subcostal nervule, a bent line above that nervule, and a looped line 

 beneath tbc^ base of costal nervure : two discal narrow waved ochraceous fascite, the outer one most distinct, 

 from which to outer margin the colour is darker. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Wings above pale brownish. Anterior wings with the cell crossed by four blackish lines, 

 and with a curved line near apex ; beneath the cell are two spots divided by the third median nervule, 



the inner one largest ; a transverse series of contiguous, linear 

 gre_yish spots only divided by the nervules, their inner apices 

 conical and outwardly margined with a waved and sinuated 

 narrow dark brown fascia ; the two upper spots divided by the 

 upper discoidal nervule are longest, and are preceded by a small 

 whitish subcostal spot, the third s^jot is shorter than the fourth 

 and fifth, and the lower one beneath the third median nervule is 

 short and notched internally ; all these spots are more or less 

 suffused with pale brownish, and the first, fourth and fifth 

 possess an inner brown looped line. Posterior wings with two 

 pairs of looped lines crossing cell, the transverse series of large 

 greyish spots as on anterior wings, but not extending to 

 abdominal margin, and with their outer margins defined by a more angulated and inwardly dentate narrow- 

 fascia, which is again outwardly margined with greyish, thus dividing the outer dark margin into inwardly 

 angulated spots. Wings beneath with the basal halves pale ochraceous ; cell of anterior wings marked as 

 above ; cell of posterior wing with the looped lines and adjacent markings as in corresponding wing of male ; 

 the transverse series of spots more fused than above, the greyish colour extending to outer margin. 

 Exp. wings, <? 50 millim. ; 9 CO millim. 

 Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Penang ; Malacca (Brit. Mus.) 



This species I only know by the specimcus contained in the British Museum, the sexes 

 of whicli arc here figured and described. The female, as Mr. Butler has remarked, bears a 

 sti'ikiug reseml)lauce to a species of the next genus, — Taiiaccia pulasara (Tab. XIV., fig. 13), — 

 wliicli is also found in this fauna.
