one-third of the length of the costa from the apex of the wing ; a faint disco-cellular litura ; a 
very irregular discal catenulated band, its upper spot just below and within the subcostal spot, 
the two spots which follow the largest and oval, divided by the discoidal nervule and placed 
nearest the outer margin, below these a very small spot placed in a line with the first spot, 
and then a series of fine lines recurved upwards to the abdominal margin ; a fine submarginal 
lunular line ; the anal lobe with an oval intensely black spot crowned with a narrow orange 
line, a similar spot on the margin in the first median interspace, the space between them 
irrorated with black ; a fine anteciliary black line. Cz/a sordid white. The two ‘ais edged 
on one side and tipped with white. Aody above and below concolorous with the wings, the 
thorax above richly glossed with purple in some lights. Aztenn@ black, annulated with white, 
the apex of the club ochreous. No secondary sexual characters. FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, 
both wings dull smoky black. AHindwing with four black spots on the margin towards the 
anal angle, the two nearest the angle large, the first or anal one of these crowned with white, 
the next also crowned with white, but the white colour sullied with ochreous, the other two 
spots small and crowned with white; a fine black and then an intensely white anteciliary 
line. Czlia white. UNDERSIDE, doth wings marked exactly as in the male, 
Near to 4. thecloides, Felder, from Burma, the Malay Peninsula, and Nicobar Isles, the 
males differing from those of that species on the upperside by their richer coloration and 
less orange marking on the hindwing ; on the underside the markings in 4. ¢hecloddes are bright 
ochreous, while in 4. wi/girica they are pale fuscous, giving a very different appearance. 
On the underside 4. mi/girica appears to be very near to H, sipylus, Felder, from Amboyna, 
as figured in the ‘ Reise Novara,’ but is quite different on the upperside. 
The above description is taken from specimens captured in Ceylon by Mr. Francis A. 
Fairlie in July. It appears to be a rare species Ihave seen it from no other locality, 
but Mr. Hampson records that asingle specimen, from which Mr. Moore first described the 
species, was taken by Mr. Alfred Lindsay in the Nilgiris at 1,000 feet elevation. I append Mr. 
Moore’s description of it.* He records it from Dolosbagee, Ceylon, taken in March by Mr. 
F. M. Mackwood. 
The figures shew both sides of both sexes of specimens in the collection of Mr, Fairlie 
taken at Jaffna in Ceylon.

“MALE. Forewing, small, triangular; costa gently arched ; exterior margin oblique, 
posterior marg7n straight, with four szdbcostal nervules, the first emitted at one-third before 
the end of the cell, and slightly touching the costal nervure near its end, the second and 
third at equal distances apart ; déscoida/ cell extending to nearly half length of the wing ; @isco- 
cellular nervule extremely slender ; one discotdal nervule from near its middle ; second median 
nervule from near the end of the cell, #7s¢ median at one-third before the end ; sebmedian ner vure 
nearly straight. HINDWING, small, short ; afex convex, exterior margin oblique and waved ;

anal marginal lunules anda white anal lobe-spot. UNbErsIDs, oth wings greyish-white. Horewing with a 
very indistinct blackish disco-cellular lunuie, a submarginal lunular line with the upper end composed of double 
lunules, and a marginal lunular line. Azudwing with a more distinct black disco-cellular lunular mark, sub- 
marginal and marginal lunular line, the upper end of the submarginal line composed of double lunules ; a black 
spot on the costa near the base, and a lobe and subanal black spot, the two latter slightly yellow, surmounted 
with dark yellow.” (Moore, |. c. in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond.) “ FEMALE. UpPERSIDE, doth _ wings olivaceous-

line white. UNDERSIDE, doth wings with markings as in male. Cz/éa white.” (JZcore, |. c., in Lep. Cey.) i 
Mr. Moore originally described this species from a male, though he stated in error that the type specimen 
was a female.
