278 RHOPALOCERA MALAYAN A. 



with their bases about half the distance apart as that separating second and third. Posterior wings some- 

 what elongatcly subovate ; the costal margin convexly obliiiue to apex ; the outer margin oblique, slightly 

 waved ; the anal angle lobately produced, and with a slender tail-like appendage at apex of lower median 

 nervule ; abdominal margin nearly straight and obtusely cleft near aual angle. Costal nervure strongly 

 arched at base and extending to near apex; subcostal nervules bifurcating about one-fourth before end 

 of cell ; first and second median nervules emitted close together near end of cell ; third at a little beyond 

 middle of cell. Body robust ; palpi porrect, second joint projecting a little in front of the head, third 

 joint slender, nearly one-half the length of second in male, a little shorter than second in female. 

 Autennffl long, with a distinct and well-formed apical club. 



This genus is recorded from Coutiueutal ludia, Ceylou, the Andaman and Nicobar Ishxnds, 

 Burma, and the Malay Peuinsuha, and is found throughout the Indo-Malayan Eegion.

Male. Wings above bright sanguineous-red; anterior wings with the costal and outer margins 

 (broadest at apex) dark fuscous, the basal half of cell and the nervures and nervules also dark fuscous ; 

 posterior wings with the outer margin very narrowly dark fuscous, the abdominal margin pale fuscous, 

 the nervures and nervules very pale fuscous, the lobular anal angle ochraceous (sometimes containing 

 a black spot), the margin greyish at the anal-angular area. Wings beneath greyish-brown, both wings 

 with an obscure disco-cellular fascia at end of cells ; a narrow and distinct fascia outwardly margined 

 with greyish between end of cells and outer margins, which is dislocated, waved and sinuated near 

 termination on posterior wings, and duplex above aual angle, and a fainter submarginal fascia, which 

 is most distinct on posterior wings, where it is interrupted by a black marginal spot inwardly bordered 

 with ochraceous between the second and third median nervules, followed by some scattered bluish 

 scales, and a large black spot on the lobe at aual angle. Tail-like appendages fuscous, with their 

 apices greyish. Body above fuscous ; head greyish-white between the eyes ; body beneath and legs 

 more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Wings above reddish-brown, the margins more obscurely fuscous than in male. Wings 

 beneath as in male.
