shorter and broader discocellular spot, and on the hindwing by the broader basal 

 white band, and also in the absence of a subbasal violescent-white fascia, which 

 latter is always present on both sexes of Duryodana. We have compared the type 

 specimen of Felder's Magadha with that of cineracea, both of which are males, the 

 type of Charon being a female. 



DiSTRiBiriioN. — The type specimen o^ cineracea, a male, in Mr. H. Grose-Smith's 

 collection, is recorded from Burma. A male, also from Burma, is in the Hewitson 

 collection, British Museum. A female, taken in Burma, is in Col. C. H. E. 

 Adamson's collection. Specimens are also in the British Museum, from Tilin Yaw, 

 taken in December, February, March, and April, by Captain E. Y. Watson during 

 the Chin-Lushai Expedition of 1889-90, and from Thoungyeen Valley, Upper 

 Tenasserim, taken by Capt. C. T. Bingham. We possess a male from the Upper 

 Mekong, Shan States, Burma, taken by Mr. E. Roberts, O.E. The type specimen 

 of Charon is recorded from Singapoi'e. A specimen from Singapore, and one from 

 Sumatra are in Mr. P. Crowley's collection. Mr. AY. Rothschild possesses Felder's 

 type specimen of Magadha, which we have verified, and also one from Perak, Malay 

 Peninsula. A female from Ardjiano is in Colonel Swiuhoe's collection.
