6. Plate X, fig. 1. 
Upperside. Fore-wing: deep scarlet, apical half, costal 
and inner margins narrowly, hind margin broadly, dark 
fuscous. Median nervure joining apical region fuscous, 
Ist median nervule also marked with fuscous. Hind-wing : 
dark fuscous, except for scarlet patch below outer portion 
of costa, extending down across outer part of cell and nearly 
to apex, and bluish-white area extending from end of 3rd 
median nervule across anal region to inner margin. Dark 
fuscous anteciliary line, spot at base of tails and on anal 
lobe. 
Underside. Fulvous ochreous. Sub-hind-marginal line 
in fore-wing barely noticeable. Hind-wing: broad white 
presumably Butler’s statement as to sex must be regarded as 
a misprint, though it should be noted that the specimen in the 
British Museum bears a manuscript label ““ Myrina marciana, 
Hewitson, 3.” 
Distant (1883) refers to the Malaccan specimen mentioned by 
Butler and figures it as a female, without, however, commenting 
on Butler’s mistake. 
DE NICEVILLE (1895) suggests marciana and miniata will prove the 
same species. He figures a pair as miniata, the female of which 
is probably the marciana var. figured by Moore and now in the 
Indian Museum; the male is typical miniata. 
DoueErty (1895), quoted by de Nicéville, regards the two species as 
one, “ knowing them both in life.” 
SwINHOE (1911) figures a pair of true miniata from Tenasserim.
