its inferior cxtrercity ^s'ith bright orange; the inner edge of this area 

 straight, not angulated as in I), vishmt ;tho snbmarginal red luuulcs 

 narrower, of a more carmine tint, the terminal one not expanded, further 

 from the outer margin, yet not touching the yellow area : there arc in 

 fact, as BoisdnA^al says, " sept lunules," and not six lanules and two

9. Teui\s mauoexsiSj Butler; \o2. sup. cit. PI. XXXVIII. Fig. 2, 



? , Nearly allied to T, excavata of Moore, from India, but of a decidedly 

 deeper yellow (bright sulj^hur) than the female of that specios : the inner 

 edge of the external border decidedly arched, convex, not concave, towards 

 the costa, the sinuation upon the median interspaces not so deep and 

 more oblique (as in T". sari) ; the discal markings on the under surface of 

 secondaries less defined and arranged in a much less irregular series. 

 Expanse of wings 42 mm.

10. Teuias laratensis, Butler ; loc. sup. cit. PL XXXYIII. Fig. 3. 



^.Nearly allied to T, lifaana; above most like my *^ Japanese 

 l^rias/' fig. 10 (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1880, pi. yi.), but with less-pointed 

 primaries and narrower apical border ; it, however, belongs to the T.- 

 oesiope group, the primaries below being marked with a curved series of 

 three subapical red-brown spots ; other markings much as usual, all well 

 defined ; the discal series of secondaries forming a nearly straight lino 

 between the first subcostal and second median branches. Expanse of 

 wings 39 mm.

13. Belexois coNSANGtJis, Butler, loc. sup. cit. 



Nearly allied io B.piiys from Timor, but a little smaller; the external 

 border of primaries with more oblique inner edge, much broader towards 

 the costa and without any trace of a subapical white spot : primaries 

 below white, sufi'usei with sulphur-yellow at the base only; external 

 area black internally, but of a reddish clay-colour towards apex; its 

 inner edge much less irregular than in B,pitysy being sinuated only pn 

 the lower radial and lower (or first) median interspaces : secondaries 

 saffron-yellow, the external border with purplish-black internal, and 

 reddish clay-coloured external half. Expanse of wings 48 mm.
