178 RHOPALOCERA MALAYANA. 



Cirrochroa is somewhat widely distributed, for, beyond the range of the preceding genus, 

 from India to the Papuan Islands, it is also represented in Australia.

Male. Anterior wiugs above brownish-ochraceous witb a broad transverse yellow fascia crossing 

 wing at end of cell and the whole apical area black. Posterior wings brownish-ochraceous, with the 

 following black markings : — a narrow, linear waved fascia crossing wing near end of cell and strongly 

 angulated at third median nervnle, followed by a row of spots placed between the nervules (absent between 

 the discoidal and first median nervules) and a marginal and two suhmarginal much-waved fascise. Wings 

 beneath paler; anterior wings with the central fascia whitish, containing a triangular brownish spot 

 at inner margin ; apical area brownish, with two long, ovate, contiguous greyish spots at apex, and an 

 indistinct waved darker submarginal lineate fascia ; posterior wings with the central black fascia above 

 replaced by a broader pale violaceous fascia beneath, beyond which the colour is more or less shaded with 

 violaceous, the black spots margined with reddish and two submarginal pale violaceous fasciae. Body 

 and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Resembling the male, but with the anterior wings above witb a small subapical greyish 

 streak, and beneath witb the pale central fascia crossed by a narrow pale sinuated brownish fascia 

 attached to the triangular spot at inner margin ; the apical brown area also possesses an indistinct 

 violaceous much-waved fascia. 



Esp. wings, <? and 5 , 65 to G8 millim.

2. Cirrochroa satellita. (Tab. XIX., fig. 9c?.) 



Cirrochroa satellita, Butler, Cist. Ent. i. p. 9 (1869); Lep. Exot. p. 103, t. 38, f. 7 (1872); Druce, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. 1873, p. 342, n. 4. 



Male. Wings above brownish-ochraceous, both wings crossed a little beyond cells by a broad bright 

 ochraceous fascia, after which the wings are blackish ; the pale fascia of posterior wings contains an 

 incomplete series of black spots placed between the nervules — that at anal angle largest — and two narrow, 

 waved, black submarginal fasciae, the outer of which, above the median nervules, is blended with the 

 posterior black area. Wings beneath paler, the black areas brownish, the central pale fasciae containing 

 at their inner margins a narrower greyish fascia, widest on anterior wings, where it is also more 

 ochraceous ; anterior wings with a suljmarginal. Innately macular, violaceous fascia, beyond which is a 

 straighter and more distinct pale fascia ; posterior wings with a macular violaceous fascia as on anterior 

 wings, followed by two dark, narrow waved fascire, the series of black spots larger and more continuous. 

 Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, c? , 55 to 58 millim. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula; Perak (Dr. Townsend— coll. Godm. & Salv.)— Borneo (Druce); Sandakan 

 Pryer— coll. Dist.)— China ; Hong Kong (coll. Godm. & Salv.). 



This does not appear to be an abundant species, at least so judging from present 

 collections, and is slightly variable in the number of black spots visible on the upper surface 

 of the posterior wings. 



The specimen figured was collected in Perak by Dr. Townsend.
