proximal; subterminal indicated by vague grey shades, the 

 proximal one interrupted, especially about cellule 3 ; teruieii 

 with sharp black interneiiral dots. Hind wing with termen 

 feebly subcrenulate ; a bright orange discal ocellus of about 

 1 mm. diameter, with a small pale yellow pupil ; lines and 

 terminal dots of fore wing continued, the median and post- 

 median lines rather more proximal. 



Fore wing beneath almost entirely covered with rosy 

 suffusion, leaving a narrow mottled terminal area and a clear 

 hind area (behind submedian fold) ; cell-dot and terminal dots 

 present. Hind wing beneath almost all pale ; some rosy 

 suffusion at costa (especially apically) ; postmedian dots and 

 some ill-defined subterminal spots rosy.

Lord Rothschild has pointed out (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 

 1922, pp. cxxxii— cxxxiii), that the supposed races of this species 

 have become so differentiated in the cf genitalia "that inter- 

 breeding would be difficult," i.e., that they would have virtually 

 attained the rank of species. True tiirbata is thus confined 

 to the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo.
