EHOPALOCERA MALA VAN A. 199 



2, Poritia phraatica. (Tab. XXI., tig. 21 J ; Tab. XXIV., tig. 8 2 .) 



Poritui I'liracitica, Hewitson, Ills. Diurn. Lcpid., Lye. p. *214, ii. 2, t. 88, f. 2 2 (1878). 

 Poritia ricurata $ , Hewits. Trans. Eut. Soc. 1874, p. 8-1(3. 



Male. Allied to the corresponding sex of the preceding species, but larger and with the lihuk area 

 of the anterior wings smaller, its inner margin somewhat coucavely occupying the end of the cell, after 

 which it is more or less convexly continued to the lower median nervule, and is then marginally continued 

 to angle, where there is a short black streak along the submedian nervure. Wings beneath with the 

 markings closely resembling those of P. sumatm, ])ut much pak-r in hue. 



Female. Wings above bright ochraeeous. Anterior wings with the costal, outer and inner margins 

 broadly dark brown. Posterior wings with the basal half (notched posteriorly), a broad fascia occupying 

 the margin from apex to upper median nervule, and then deflected transversely across the wing to a little 

 above anal angle, and three large conical marginal spots separated by the median nervules dark brown. 

 Wings beneath as in male, but much paler. 



Exp. wings, 3" and 2 , 35 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.) ; Singapore (coll. Hewits.). 



The female specimen here figured is paler ou the posterior wings than depicted by 

 Hewitson's figure, and is evidently a slight variety of the species. The male was unknown to 

 Mr. Hewitson, and is here described for the first time. 



The folloivimj species are alone known to nte hij Heicitson's fujurcs and descrijdions, wltich are 

 here reproduced. 



3. Poritia pleurata. (Tab. XXII., fig. ii 3 ; 5 ? .) 



Poritia Pleurata, Hewitson, Trans. Eut. Soc. 1874, p. 34C ; Ills. Diuru. Lep., Lye. p. 215, t. Ixxxviii. f. 3, 4 J , 

 5 ? (1878). 



" Upper side. Male. — Brilliant blue. Anterior wing with the costal margin and apical half, which 

 is marked by two blue spots, dark brown. Posterior wing with the costal margin broadly brown ; the 

 outer margin black, spotted with white." 



" Under side white, crossed everywhere by rufous bauds and spots, and marked near the outer 

 margin by a series of singularly-formed spots. Anterior wing with a black spot at the anal angle. 

 Posterior wing with three black spots, the spot nearest the anal angle crowned with orange." 



"Female. — Cerulean-blue, clouded at the base. Anterior wing with the apical half dark brown, 

 crossed by five pale blue spots. Posterior wing with the costal and outer margins dark brown, the outer 

 margin marked by two black spots crowned with blue." 



Exp. wings, " <? 11, 2 h% inch." 



H.iB. — Malay Peninsula; Singapore (Wallace & Buxton, coll. Hewits.). 



Mr. Hewitson's description of the posterior wing of the female is, to say the least, but 

 sketchy. In the absence of a specimen it is, however, safer to simply reproduce both the original 

 figure and description.
