464 RHOPALOCERA MALAYAN A. 



20. Narathura buxtoni. (Tab. XLIV., fig. 18 5.) 



Aiiihliipfidid Bu.i-toni, Hewitson, 111. Diurn. Lepid. Lye. Supjil. p. 21, t. 7, f. 68, 69 (1878). 



Male. Wings above bright violacoous-bliie, the margin somewhat narrowly dark fuscous, containing 

 a greyish line near anal angle of posterior wings, the abdominal area of the same wings greyish-brown. 

 Wings beneath pale brownish, with the following greyish lines or fascias : — anterior wings with three pairs 

 of subcostal lines, the last pair somewhat irregularly continued across wing towards lower median nervule, 

 where there is also a small brown spot surrounded with greyish, two broken submarginal lines, three pairs 

 of lines crossing cell, two (small) lines above cell, and three lines beneath cell ; posterior wings with some 

 basal spots and crossed by a number of irregular greyish lines, some small submarginal greyish spots, and 

 three black spots shaded with metallic-green at anal angle ; tail-like appendage with its apex greyish. 

 Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Resembling the male, but with the wings above having a wider dark margin, especially at 

 the apices. 



Exp. wings, <? & 2 , 38 to 40 millim. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula; Malacca (coll. Staudinger). — Sumatra (coll. Hewitson). — Borneo; Sandakan 

 (Pryer— coll. Dist.). 



The female specimen figured belongs to the collection of Dr. Staudinger, and is the only 

 example I have seen from the Malay Peninsula. 



I have here arranged this species after N. lycenaria. 



Genus PANCHALA {antea, p. 272). 



5. Panchala trogon (autca, p. 275). 



When this species was described the male alone was known, but I have since examined a female 

 specimen from Perak, belonging to Herr Eibbe. Unlike the male, it is violaceous-blue above ; the anterior 

 wings with the whole costal area above cell, the apex very broadly and irregularly — almost approaching 

 apex of cell, which has a discocellular spot — and the outer margin also broadly blackish. Posterior wings 

 blackish, with the disk violaceous-blue. Underside as in male. 



Exp. wings, 5 , 3G millim. 



Genus DEUDORIX (antea, p. 277). 



6. Deudorix epijarbas. (Tab. XLI., fig. 5c?.)

" This is larger than D.jarhds, the male having on the upper-side of the fore-wings the dark brown 

 border occupying the whole space between the anterior margin and the median vein (in the latter of which 

 it is nearly black), and then branching off to exterior margin, and ending in a point at the middle of the 

 hind margin. The under-side is of a duller tint, and has two whitish undulating lines crossing the fore- 

 and hind-wings, as also two short lines from the median to subcostal veinlet. The outer black spot 

 is a well-defined lunar-shaped streak of metallic-green. The female is somewhat larger, with rounded 

 wings, and is of a fulvous-brown, but may be distinguished by the similarity of the markings of the 

 under-side." 



Exp. wings, " male 1/5 in., in the female 1^ in."
