RHOPALOCKHA MALAYA NA. 125 



E. macnairi above, it partakes of the character' of 11. stolir:hiita beneath, but is 3^et quite 

 distinctly differentiated from that species by the pattern of those markings. Though I have 

 followed this course I consider the conclusion Init tentative. Some decision must bo taken 

 in a work like this, and the proof will ultimately rest with the local breeder of these insects. 

 In the absence of this information analytic and synthetic empiricism are both to be deplored.

Male. Wings above i'eReml>ling the last species, bi;t tlie blviisli marginal bands wide, as in 

 E. stoliczkana. Wings beneath pale but warm ocliraceous, the markings generally as in E. iiKioiairi, 

 but paler and ocliraceous ; the black cellular markings of anterior wings as in preceding sjiecies. 



Female. Wings above pale fuliginous-brown, cellular and infra-cellular markings as in E. iiuiclinii ,■ 

 an oblique discal series of six elongate greyish spots, outwardly and obscurely margined with small dark 

 spots placed between tbe nervules ; of the former the two uppermost, divided by the first discoidal nervule, 

 are largest, and tbe first is broken at its centre ; the third is smallest, and the sixth, situate beneath tbe 

 third median nervule, is rather faint and outwardly notched ; a broad pale marginal border, becoming 

 obsolete at apex and shaded with bluish at posterior angle. Posterior wings with the apical half broadly 

 bluish: this area is marked with two series of whitish spots, the first and most distinct at its inner 

 margin, which is preceded by a series of obscure dark spots, the second, which is almost obsolete near 

 its centre ; outer margin brownish ; the fringe of both wings greyish white. Wings beneath pale obscure 

 ochraceous ; anterior wings marked as above, the discal series of pale spots large, more continuous, 

 and more obscure and outwardly margined by a narrow waved fuscous fascia ; posterior wings with the 

 apical half (which has a narrow transverse dark ochraceous fascia near its anterior margin) somewhat 

 paler. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 3 60 millim. ; $ 70 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Singapore (coll. Moore) — Sumatra (Brit. Mus. and coll. Dist.) 



I am indebted to Mr. Moore for the loan of the female Singapore specimen here 

 figured, and which constitutes my sole authority for the inclusion of the species in this 

 fauna. Mr. Butler, who first described the female,* subsequently! added, as a synonym, the 

 A. mitra, Feld. I This is probably a correct course, and the reason why I have not followed it 

 here is that the Felderian descri])tion better agrees with another Sumatrau specimen in my 

 collection, which, however, may be but a varietal form.
