246 RHOPALOCERA MALAYAN A. 



Female Win^s above pale violaceous ; anterior wings with the costal margin broadly and the outer 

 ai.ical third of wing^dark fuscous; posterior wings with the costal and posterior margins fuscous, the last 

 widest at apex and -raduallv narrowing and becoming somewhat obsolete towards anal angle, where there 

 is a blackish spot containing a few scattered bluish scales and inwardly and obscurely margmed with 

 ochraceous • a marginal greyish line from about second median nervule to anal angle, the extreme edge 

 blackish- tail-like Appendages fuscous, with their apices whitish. Wings beneath brownish-ochraceous ; 

 a narrow fuscous subraarginal fascia crossing both wings, commencing on anterior wings beneath the sub- 

 costal nervules and more or less fractured at the nervules, and on the posterior wings, strongly dislocated 

 from the upper median nervule to abdominal margin : beyond this fascia on both wings is another, obscure 

 and subobsolete : a pale ochraceous patch on posterior wings at anal angle, with two black marginal spots 

 containing a few scattered bluish scales, situate one between the second and third median nervules, the 

 second at anal angle : * between these spots are some scattered bluish scales, the margin as above. 



The male is unknown to the writer, but is thus described by Felder : — 



3 . " Aho posticii' regione anali sat producta." 



" .Wx supra dilute metallico-cyaneaj, anticre margine costali dimidioque lato apicali fuscis, postics 

 limbo costali et apicali fuscis, margine postico ante cilia nigro, limbo interno cano." 



" Alie subtus cano-fuscae, striga externa in posticis anum versus angulata fusca, multo dilutius cincta 

 alteraque submarginali obsoleta, postics macula subanali alteraque anali nigris, intus late aurantiaco-flavo 

 cireumdatis, extus metallico-virenti cinctis, atomis interjectis metallico-virescentibus, linea alba ante 

 marginem posticum."

8. Tajuria relata, u. sp. (Tab. XXI., fig. 12 2 .) 



Female. Allied to T. mantni, but differing in the following respects :— The wings beneath are dark 

 greyisli, and not Ijrownish-ochraceous as in Felder's species, and the narrow fuscous submarginal fascia is 

 rounded and outwardly convex on the anterior wings. 



Male. At present unknown to the writer. 



Exp. wings, 5 , 35 millim. 



IIab. — Malay Peninsula ; Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.). 



Although I only possess a single female specimen of this species, it is still, though 

 closely allied to T. mantra, so very distinct in many important characters, as to necessitate 

 its description as a new species.

i It is doubtful whether this form is not really a distinct species or local race.
