larger one filling the base of first median interspace, a lengthened streak in the interno-median 
area, and placed outwardly obliquely above it is a large somewhat quadrate patch in the sub- 
median interspace, all brilliant shining ultramarine-blue inclining to brilliant emerald-green in 
some lights. Ainxdwing with the posterior two-thirds of the surface also blue crossed by the 
black veins, the outer margin narrowly black, and with somewhat diffused black spots placed 
upon and near the termination of the median nervules, two conjoined spots in continuation of 
these latter in the submedian interspace ; costal and abdominal margins pale fuscous. UNDER- 
SIDE, doth wings deep glossy purplish-brown. Forewing with a discal macular irregular fascia, 
and with a double series of indistinct marginal lunules ; inner margin pale. Hindwing with a 
very irregular discal macular fascia, outwardly slightly defined with whitish ; marginal lunules 
much as in the forewing, some indistinct plumbeous irrorations towards the anal angle.” 
*“ Nearest to ‘ Poritia’ pharyge, Hewitson, from Perak and Borneo [described below*], 
from which it may at once be distinguished by the absence of the three subapical and six 
marginal blue spots, and by the presence of the broad streak in the interno-median area on 
the upperside of the forewing ; by the much greater extent of blue coloration on the upperside 
of the hindwing ; the markings of the underside also are very different.”

captured it in December, 1887.” (de Nicéville, 1. c.)

631. Zarona zanella, n. sp. (FRONTISPIECE, Fig. 125 2). 
HABITAT: Upper Tenasserim. 
EXPANSE: 2, 1°45 inches. 
DESCRIPTION: FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, o/h wings fuscous. Forewing with the costa, 
the upper half of the discoidal cell, giving off a wedge-shaped process covering the disco-cellular 
nervules, the apex widely, the outer margin widely but decreasingly, and all the veins alone fus- 
cous, the rest of the wing purple, the portion of that colour occupying the lower half of the cell 
with its anterior margin waved. Hindwing with a patch of purple in the middle divided by the 
fuscous veins. UNDERSIDE, 40th wings dull reddish-purplish. Forewing with a discal macular 
narrow line formed of linear spots rather darker than the ground from the upper discoidal nervule 
to the submedian nervure, two extremely indistinct marginal fasciex. AHindwing with a discal 
fascia as in the forewing, but highly irregular, the marginal fascie as in the forewing, 
a small round black spot a little removed from the margin in the submedian interspace. 
Cilia reddish-ochreous throughout. 
Ican compare this plainly-coloured simply-marked butterfly with no other; as far as 
I know it is quite unique, though it is possible that hereafter it may be proved to be the 
opposite sex of Z. jasoda, mihi, from which it differs in the much paler colour of the ground on 
the underside, in the discal band on the hindwing not being slightly outwardly marked with 
grey, and the grey irroration at the anal angle being absent. The type and only known specimen 
was taken in the Meplay Valley, Upper Tenasserim, Burma, on the 8th January, 1882, by 
Major C. T. Bingham. 
The figure shows both sides of the type specimen in my collection.

nervules to the forewing ; Mr, Distant placing it in the genus Povi¢ia and not in Deramas would appear to show 
that it has three only.
