continued to alKiominal imirgiii a little above anal angle, the last spot being longest, the waved fascia 

 above being replaced by a series of small dark spots as on anterior wings.

On examining the interesting collection of lUiopalocera made by Mr. Pryer in Borneo, 

 which possessed both sexes of this species, I first became cognisant that the Adolias aemespnlis of 

 Hewitson was the female of the Adolias hrllata, Druce, and that further I had redescribed the 

 female under the name of Eiithalia (joodrirlii. It, liowever, seems to be a somewhat rare species 

 in the Mahxy Peninsula, as I have seen very few male specimens, and only one female, for 

 which I am indebted to its capturer, Lieut. Goodrich. 



In this enumeration E. hellata may be placed after E. didiija. 



18. Euthalia parta. (Tab. XXXVII., fig. 7.) 



Aduiias Parta, Moore, Cat. Lep. Mus. E.I. C. vol. i. p. 185, n. 373 (1857); Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 2, vol. v.

The specimen figured has been identified by Mr. Moore as his A. parta, but as it somewhat 

 differs from liis figure I have thought it best to give a copy of the original description : — 



"Male. Upperside dark brown with a vinaceous tinge: fore-win;/ with a paler transverse band, 

 margined broadly on both sides with black, the anterior portion within, from costal margin on both sides, 

 with a series of small white patches ; marks within discoidal cell black, with dark brown centres ; liind-wiiui 

 with an inner blackish band and outer row of small black spots. Underside paler, marked as above." 



"Female. Upperside pale brown: fore-wing with broad whitish curved transverse band, with patch 

 on costa and dark margins; hind-wimi with rather broad inner band, and outer zigzag line, the point 

 between each vein with a minute darker dot ; space between inner band and base tinged with white ; 

 marks at base of wings blackish. Underside pale dull ochreous, with paler margins ; markings as above, 

 but very indistinct." 



Exp. wings, "^ '2|, $ 2| inches." 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Sungei Ujong (Durnford — coll. Dist.) ; Malacca (Biggs — coll. Dist.). — Borneo 

 (Moore). 



I have only received male specimens of tliis species from the Peninsula. Its proper 

 position in this enumeration appears to be between E. garnda and E. jama. 



19. Euthalia merta. (Tab. XLIIL, tig. iJ , 2 5 .) 



Aduiias Mnta, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 2, vol. v. p. 72, n. 19, t. 6, f. 4 (1859). 



Male. Wings above dark fuscous-brown ; anterior wings with the cell crossed by a bhick line near 

 base which extends beneath the median nervure, two black lines at about centre and two—joined beneath— 

 at end of cell, a broad and somewhat paler submarginal fascia the margins of which are dark fuscous, and a 

 curved series of five whitish spots a little beyond cell, the lower two spots separated by the second median 

 nervule, and two small subcostal and subapieal spots of the same colour ; posterior wings with the cell 

 crossed by two black-margined spots, — one at centre and one at end,— a fuscous irregular fascia crossing 

 wing beyond cell, and a submarginal series of small and very dark spots. Wings beneath browuish- 

 ochraceous, marked as above, with the fuscous fasciae more or less broken and obsolete ; anterior wings 

 with an obscure violaceous marginal fascia near apex ; posterior wings with two additional black-margined
