RHOPALOCERA MALAYAN A. 221 



" Upperside pale brownish blue, with two black spots at the anal angle, and a narrow black line 

 round the outer margin of posterior wing." 



" Underside very pale brown, streaked and mottled with white. Black spots as above." 



Exp. wings, " 1t3 inch." 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. Mus.). — Borneo (Druce). 



6. Nacaduba sp. ? (Tab. XXI., fig. 7 ? .) 



I have received three female specimens of this species, all more or less varying in the 

 markings beneath, and as I am still without the other sex I refrain from precise identification 

 for the present. It is clearly somewhat closely allied to the N. kanhena, Feld.* 



Genus E VERES. 



Everes, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 69 (181G) ; Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 85 (1881). 



Ereres is closely allied to the two preceding genera. From Castalius, although so different in 

 colour and markings, it is really only structurally differentiated by the length of the costal nervure ; whilst 

 from Nacnduha, to which it is more superficially allied, the position of the first subcostal uervule is alone 

 suflBcient to distinguish it. 



The extent of this genus is at present undetermined, and therefore we can only say that 

 its area embraces (but is probably not confined to) Southern and Central Europe, and eastward 

 throughout the Oriental region.
