RHOPALOCEIiA MALAYANA. 385 



1. Satarupa affinis car. cognata. (Tiili. XXXV., llj^-. 17.) 



Sdtanipd iiiliiiis, Druce, Proe. ZodI. Soc. 187S, p. 8G0, n. 1, t. xxxiii. f. !). 



Wings above dark fuscous; anterior ^Yin,l;s with seven or cislit small pale and semiliyaline spots, 

 situate two beneath cell divided by the lower median nervnle (the lowermost sometimes duplex), two 

 beyond cell divided by the upper median nervule, two sei)arated by the upper discoidal nervule, and 

 cue on each side of the fourth subcostal nervule ; posterior wings with a broad white central diseal 

 fascia, commencing near costa and terminating at abdominal margin, its outer margin fringed with a 

 series of blackish spots just contained in the outer fuscous area ; fringe alternately greyish-white. 

 Anterior wings beneath as above, but paler ; posterior wings as above, but the white area larger, the 

 basal fuscous coloration above replaced by greenish -grey beneath, the black spots beneath more or less 

 detached from the outer fuscous coloration. Body above dark fuscous, beneath with legs greyish ; palpi 

 greyish, with their apices fuscous. 



Exp. wings, 40 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinst. — Calc. Mus.) ; Malacca (('oH. Stand. \ 



This may probably prove to be a distinct species, but I have bceu unable to iiud any very 

 strong character to separate it from the type of Mr. Druce's Bornean species, which I have 

 carefully examined, and which is now in the collection of Messrs. Godman and Salvin. Its chief 

 difference is in the position of the black spots in the outer fuscous area of the posterior wings, 

 and these in typical -S. affinis are more immersed in that fuscous area than in var. connato. On 

 the under surface of the wings this area is also much more broken and obsolete than in the 

 variety ? here described and figured. 



Genus CASYAPA.

hi this genus the anterior wings are relatively somewhat shorter and broader than in the preceding 

 genera, the costal margin is slightly falcate at apex, the outer margin nearly straight ; the upper disco- 

 cellular nervule is shorter than the lower, which is obliquely directed inwardly, and the base of the 

 second median nervule is a little more than twice as far apart from that of the lower as from that of the 

 upper median nervule. The posterior wings are subovate, the first and second median nervules having an 

 apparently common origin at about end of cell. The body is robust and hairy, the palpi I)road, thickly 

 clothed with somewhat short hairs and directed upwards and forwards; the antenna are of moderate 

 length, with a well-thickened curved club, which is not so strongly hooked as in Sat<ini]>a ; the posterior 

 tibiffi are very prominently spined and clothed with very long hairs. 



This genus has sometimes had an indiscriminate application, and without a thorough 

 examination of many species— some not attainable to the writer— it is impossible to speak of 

 its geographical distribution. The typical species on which the genus was founded is from 

 Amboina, and Casjiapa is probably widely distri])uted throughout the Malayan Archipelago. 



One species only is known to the writer as found in the Malay Peninsula. 



=■■ This name was preoccupied by Chcetocnona in Coleoptera, ami therefore the genus was rightly renamed by 

 Mr. Kirby.
