RHOPALOCERA MALAYANA. 279 



greyish between end of cell and outer margin, and a fuscous marginal and submargiual fascia ; posterior 

 wings with a transverse dark fascia bordered with greyish at end of cell ; a narrow and strongly dislocated 

 fascia outwardly bordered with greyish (dislocated at the uervules from costa to second median nervule 

 and then continuous and broader to abdominal margin) crossing wing between end of cell and posterior 

 margin ; a marginal and submarginal fascia as on anterior wings, a black marginal spot surrounded with 

 greenish scales between the second and third median nervules, a patch of greenish scales between the third 

 median nervule and submedian nervure, a black spot at lobular anal angle, and two small fuscous spots 

 beneath costal nervure. 



Exp. wings, ? , 38 millim. 



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



The female specimen captured iu Malacca by Capt. rinwill, uud presented to the British 

 Museum, was identified iu error by Mr. Butler as 1). petosiris, Hew., a species, however, from 

 which I), sefpieira differs by the distinct markings on the under surface of the wings, such as 

 the absence of the transverse spot in the cell of the anterior wings, and by the strongly 

 dislocated transverse fascia to the posterior wings, &c. The male has still to be discovered, 

 and will doubtless prove to have the wings above of some shade of rufous-brown. My 

 collection contains a Burmese example of the true D. jjetosiris, which perfectly agrees with 

 Hewitson's figure.

Demloi-ir jihcretiina, Butl. (uec Hewits.), Traus. Linu. Soc. ser. 2, Zool. vol. i. p. 540, n. 2 (1877). 



Male. Wings above dark rufous ; a black spot at the lobular anal angle of the posterior wings. 

 Wings beneath pale brownish, with a transverse dark brown spot margined with greyish, in and at end 

 of cells of both wings, followed between ends of cells and outer margins by a narrow transverse dark 

 brown fascia outwardly margined with greyish, which on posterior wings is strongly dislocated and 

 sinuated from upper median nervule to abdominal margin, where it is considerably widened ; an obscure 

 submarginal fascia to both wings, and three marginal spots to posterior wings near anal angle, the lirst 

 and third black, and the central one composed of greenish scales ; extreme outer margin narrowly paler, 

 the fringe dark. 



Female. Wings above pale bluish, the margins irregularly pale fuscous. Wings beneath as in male. 



Exp. wings, <? and ? , 40 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Peuang (coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (Pinwill — Prit. Mus.). 



A male specimen in the British Museum captured by Capt. Pinwill in Malacca, and 

 a female Penang specimen in my own collection, are the materials which have induced 

 the description of this species. Though Mr. Butler included it in his list of the Malaccan 

 butterflies as D. pheretiina, he now quite agrees with the writer as to its perfect distinctness 

 from that species, as a reference to Hewitson's figure will testify. D. pheretiina, Hew. (a Bornean 

 species), not only has the spots and fasciae on the under surface of the wings of a larger 

 character than iu D. utimutis, but also possesses a large spot above the cell of the posterior 



wmgs.

 Portuguese settlers.
