 oblique orange-yellow fascia crossing wings at about end of cell. Wings beneath as above, the fascia to 

 anterior wings slightly paler. Body and legs coneolorous with wings.

A\'ings above chocolate-brown ; anterior wings with an obliquely transverse yellow fascia crossing 

 wing at about end of cell, and three small fused pale subapical spots. Wings beneath as above, the colour 

 somewhat duller, and the posterior wings having an obscure yellowish spot at end of cell. Body and legs

Exp. wings, 38 millim. 



Hab.— Tenasserim ; " above Ahsowa " (Moore). ^Malay Peninsula; Penang (coll. Dist.) ; Province 

 Wellesley (coll. Saiier) ; Perak (Kunst. — Calc. Mus.). 



This variety differs from typical K. aiii-irillahi in the shai)e of the fascia of the anterior 

 wings, which, as depicted by Mr. Moore, is widened beneath the cell. Although I previously 

 described the form here figured as specitically distinct, I think its natural position is better 

 represented l)y tlie formula " variety."
