one across its end, and one or two costal streaks; a transverse discal line of joined lunules 
(separated in S. amisena) from the second subcostal nervule to below the first median 
nervule, projecting outwardly below the lower discoidal nervule; apex widely, and outer 
margin narrowly pale fuscous. Héxdwing with the transverse discal fascia consisting of a 
broken dull silvery line on a deep brown ground, an obscure outer-discal transverse band pale 
on the dark apical and dark on the pale abdominal ground ; an obscure metallic patch in the first 
median interspace. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings dull brown. Forewing with a slightly 
paler area in the middle of the disc. UNDERSIDE, forewing with the dark area of the male 
confined to the neighbourhood of the median interspaces on the disc. Hindwing with the dark 
area of the male reduced to a band across the wing from the apex to the abdominal margin, 
crossing the end of the cell; a distinct whitish spot basally between the costal and subcostal 
nervures, the inner transverse line united, crossing the dark area subapically ; the outer one 
consisting of pale lunules bordered, especially outwardly, by a dark band, in which there are 
two dark subapical spots, the second larger.” 
“ This species has the hindwing strongly angled at the end of the second median nervule, 
and quite straight thence to the anal angle ; there is no trace of tails or lobes. The forewing is 
not distinctly falcate ineither sex. The egg and venation are asin S. amisena, Hewitson, and 
S. guercetorum, Moore. It is a very distinct species, and the male is very richly coloured.” 
“ One male and several females taken on the pass near Wagung, Tavoy district, at 1,500 
feet altitude.” (Doherty, 1. c.) 
This also is a most distinct species, the absence of tails and of an anal lobe to the 
hindwing, and the rich blue coloration of the male on the upperside being characters which 
are not found in any other species in the genus. 
Genus 128.—APPORASA, Moore. 
Afpporasa, Moore, Journ. A. S. B., vol. liii, pt. 2, p. 38 (1884). 
“* FOREWING, differs from Zhaduka, Moore, in having the exterior margin biangulated 
and produced outwards below the apex. HINDWING, has the costa longer, arched at the base, 
and produced to an upward angle at the apex ; the exterior margin is deeply scalloped ; 
it has also three shorter Zai/s. Palpi long, porrect, second joint extending two-thirds be- 
yond the eyes, third joint also long and slender being half the length of the second ; anéenne 
stouter and blunt at tip.” (AZoore, 1. c.) 
Superficially this genus appears to bea close ally of the next genus 7zaduka, Moore. 
The type and only known species, A. atkinsont, Hewitson, is of about the size of 7. mudticaudata, 
Moore. The forewing has two blunt rounded dentations below the apex, immediately below 
which again it is almost entire ; the hindwing is very dentate, but judging from the figure alone, 
cannot properly be said to be tailed, nor has it the large anal lobe present in Zhaduka. The 
outline of the costaof the hindwing of Afpforasa is quite different from that of Zhaduka. 
The general style of markings of 7zaduka and Afporasa on both surfaces is the same. 
Since the above was written, I have been enabled, through the kindness of Mr. W. Doherty, 
to examine a pairof this species. The hindwing has a distinct spatulate tail fromthe end 
of the first median nervule, which is not shown in Hewitson’s figure ; the anal lobe is small.
