TrepskJirois van-deventeri, mihi, sp. nov, — Intermediate Letw^een T. 

 midciber of Borneo and T. Unnei ; differs from the former in the slightly 

 larger spots on fore-wings of male, and in the -well-defined whiter mark- 

 ings in the female — in T, midcihcr they arc brc^-nish; from T, linnet it 

 differs in its smaller size, less angnlated fore-wings, smaller spots on 

 these ^ings in both sexes and much narrower streaks on hind-wings of 

 female; it occurs in Sumatra, Malacca, and Cachar (A.^sam). Lampongs^

 dark brown, almost black, crossed from the centre of the costa to the 

 inner angle by a broad band of pale blue, in which between the first and 

 second median nervures is a small vitreous spot ; a small wliite spot near 

 the apex, which is not falcate, as in paraleda and other species of this 

 genus. Posterior wings with an irregular, almost obsolete, sub-marginal

 markings and spots resembling paralecfa, but the colouring is subject to 

 variation, as of the two examples I have, one is riclx brown, and the 

 other olive-green. Expansion, 3 J inches. 'Ihis species is about the same 

 size as A", aJhofasdafa , but is distinct from it as well as from paraJeda.

 the sub-apical white spots are also smaller, and the orange patch at anal 

 angle of hind-wings is considerably larg^w. Sumatra. Iloodjoong,
