RHOPALOCERA MALAYANA. 151 



not mottled, and thonsb the pattern of the anterior wings is similar, the marlcings of the posterior wings are 

 distinct, which consist of a basal fascia with dark margins ; a regular and similarly coloured and margined 

 fascia near centre, and a somewhat similar marginal fascia. 



Exp. wangs, c? and ? , 40 to 40 millim. 



Hab. — j\Ialay Peninsula ; Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (Brit. ;\Ius. and coll. Moore). — 

 Borneo ; Sandakan (Pryer — coll. Dist.). 



The few North Bornean examples I possess only differ from Malaccan specimens by the 

 smaller subapical yellow fascia to the anterior wings, and could a long series from both 

 localities be examined that variation would doubtless be found to pervade the species in 

 both areas.

Female. This species is allied to the preceding (N. prraka), from which it differs by the different 

 shape of the cellular streak and the absence of the yellow submarginal lines to the anterior wings ; the 

 yellow fascia3 to posterior wings are much broader (but this we have already seen is a variable character) ; 

 the markings on the under surface of the wings are darker, larger, and more regular, especially on the 

 anterior wings. 



Exp. wings, 48 to 50 millim. 



Hab. — Burma; Moulmein (Brit. Mus.) — Tenasserim (Brit. Mus.) — Malay Peninsula; Malacca 

 (Pinwill— Brit. Mus.). 



I only know this species from the specimens contained in the British Museum, one of 

 which from Malacca is here figured.

 n. 8 (1877). 



Male and Female. Wings above rich dark brown, with the following orange-coloured markings : — 

 Anterior wings with a large cellular streak much resembling that of N. dindinga, but sometimes more or 

 less truncate at its apex, as in the specimen figured ; this is followed by a subapical transverse streak and 

 two irregularly shaped spots, situate one on the area of the median nervules and one on the inner margin ; 

 a broad submarginal fascia, strongly siuuated and toothed interiorly, followed by a submarginal line of the 

 same colour. Posterior wings crossed by two broad fasciie, one near base and the other near outer margin, 

 and a submarginal line of the same colour. Wings beneath ochraceous, the anterior wings with a broad 

 subcostal pale fuscous fascia, which is obliquely deflexed beyond cell, and forms a large looped spot 

 extending from costa to first median nervule ; a pale fuscous fascia beneath cell, which forms an irregularly 

 looped spot beneath and attached to the other looped spot, and which outwardly extends to inner margin ; 

 a pale fuscous submarginal line and the outer margin l)roadly of the same colour ; posterior wings marked 

 as above, but the colour much paler and the dark portions much narrower. Body above rich dark brown,
