3S. Differs from S. dirtea, Fabr., on the upper side in its 
darker coloration, being almost black, and in the fore wings being 
unmarked, except for a pure white subapical point; occasionally 
an indication of one or two subcostal ochreous spots, and in the 
greenish outer marginal fascia being reduced to a few spots or 
streaks. On the under side the coloration is also very dark, in 
some specimens nearly black, smeared here and there with reddish 
ochreous. 
@. Differs very materially from all the specimens of dirtea 
from the different localities I have examined. On the upper side the 
spots, instead of ochreous, are as white as they are in S. cyanipar- 
dus, and the hind wing has the same clear blue submarginal band 
enclosing large black spots, with pure white patches on each side ; 
on the under side the coloration of the hind wings, instead of being 
bluish grey, is pale brownish ochreous, with pale ochreous spots. 
Expanse of wings, f 33, 2 4 to 4}, in. 
Shillong and Cherra Punji. 
I have in my own collection examples of S. dirtea 
from Thoungyan, Meplay, Donat Range, several parts 
of Burma, besides from Nias, Perak, Sumatra, and 
Borneo; and though they vary somewhat inter se, they 
maintain the well-known characteristics of typical 
S. dirtea ; whereas the Khasia Hill form is characteristic 
in itself in both sexes, and very constant in all the speci- 
mens of the long series I have received. 
162. C. cyanipardus, Butler, P. Z. §., 1868, p. 618.
