emitted at about the same distance from lirst as second is from third, tho last of which is emitted 

 a httle before the end of cell, third and fourth bifurcating at nearly two-thirds the length of third; 

 first median nervule emitted at end of cell, the bases of the second and third being twice as far apart 

 as those of first nnd second. Posterior wings irregularly and elongately subovate, the costal margin 

 obliquely convex, the posterior margin oblique, angled and produced at area of median nervules, and with 

 a long tail-like appendage at apex of lower median nervule and a shorter one at apex of submedian 

 nervure; abdominal margin somewhat oblique, deeply and acutely excavated near anal angle. Costal 

 nervure not quite reaching apex of wing, subcostal nervules bihircating at about one-third before end of 

 cell ; first and second median nervules with an apparently common origin near end of cell. Palpi very 

 similar to those of Piuiisa. 



Male with a tuft of fine hairs at base of inner margin of anterior wings, concealing a glandular patch 

 at base of costal area of posterior wings. 



lu the synopsis of genera (p. 234) I have unfortunately given the length of the costal 

 nervure to posterior wings as found in " Cheritm amrita," a species which I have since found 

 cannot be included in Chcritra, and for which I have proposed a new genus under the name of 



Kcochcritra .

Female. Wings above fuliginous-brown ; posterior wings with three large submarginal white spots, 

 separated by the second and third median nervules, beneath the two outermost are two marginal white 

 lines, and beneath the innermost a marginal white spot, fringe beneath these spots also white ; tail-like 

 appendages white, with a central fuscous line ; abdominal margin at anal angle more or less spotted with 

 white. Wings beneath greyish ; anterior wings with the costal, apical and outer marginal areas pale 

 ochraceous, with a disco-cellular and two discal submarginal darker ochraceous hues; posterior wings 

 with two waved, fuscous submarginal linear fasciag, darker and more broken towards anal area ; these are 

 followed by a brownish submarginal line from apex to discoidal nervule, two black linear spots divided by 

 the upper median nervule, and a large black spot inwardly margined with bluish between the second and 

 third median nervules, a bluish transverse spot between the lower median nervule and submedian nervure, 

 a small black spot at anal angle, from which a bluish streak, outwardly margined with black, extends 

 to lower portion of abdominal margin. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings.

I have not seen the male of this species, which is described by Horsfleld* as " covered 

 with a beautiful saturated cupreous gloss slightly varying to purple," and as having the 

 posterior wings "marked with two white spots, one large, lunulate and marginal, the other 

 oblong, narrow, and exactly opposed to the exterior one at the inner boundary of the anal 

 region." 



The species also varies in size, as the above dimensions of female specimens in my own 

 collection testify.
