lines in onter bait', indistinct ; short line npon cross-veins distinct, the two spots 

 at and before hinder angle minute, distal marginal area not darker than disc above 1 

 and below. Hind wing : anal spots small, separate, no gre}- anal area. 



rndi'Diide : median line of hind wing (the most proximal one) outside cell, just J 

 touching the lower angle of the same. 



Tenth tergite (PI. XXVI. f. 13) with the lobes narrowing towards end, obtusely j 

 triangular. Uorso-apical lobe of elasjier (PI. XXXIV. f. Kl) oblinnely truncate,! 

 as in amboimcus ; hook of harpe strongly curved, tlie tip ]ioiniing l>asad.

((. M. tiiiioni timora. 



(?. Wings, abore. Forewing : basal area shaded with grey ; antemediar 



lines approaching each other behind ; inner discal line as a broadisii brown shad 

 followed by traces of the other lines ; the interspace between this discal line anf 

 the antenicdian ones paler than the area between it ami tiie distal margin. - 

 Jlindwing witli a trace of a brown postdiscal band. 



Underside. Forewing : basal t^wo-thirds pale, distal area from inner 



iliscal line to margin \)rownish tawny, the area sharply defined. Hindwing : a 



double discal line with the interspace shaded with brown, followed by a rather 

 strongly curved third discal line which crosses R^ midway between cell and onter 

 margin ; parallel with this line, but less distinct, is a postdiscal one. 



Lobe of tenth abdominal sternite rounded at the sides, in one of the specimens 

 almost constricted at tlic base (PI. XXVI. f. 13).

b. M. timora luotcn&ia subsp. nov. 



$. More uniform in colour than the preceding, deeper in tint. Upperside,

more rounded than in the Timor form, deeper brown, a slight grey shade in 

 anal area. 



Undi'i-.'iide : lines extremely faint. Forewing uniform in colour except tliat 



the internal margin is jialer, lines only here and there traceable. Hindwing : 



geminate discal lines curved, faint, third discal line obtusely angled at W, iiere 



nearer the margin than the cell. T;obe of tenth sternite triangular, proximally
