 outwardly to the extremity of the discoidal cell.

Of this noble species T have only seen a single pair, — the male 

 in the collection of Mr. Wallace, collected by himself in Malacca; 

 ind the female now in the Hopeian Collection of the University 

 )f Oxford, which I lately obtained at a sale by auction at Mr. 

 •Stevens's Rooms. It is the female which is represented in plate 

 1 7. The male is considerably smaller, with the oblique fascia 

 <f the upper side of the fore wings about half the width of that 

 )f the female, and with two white spots near the tip of the fore 

 nings, which are considerably suffused with ferruginous at the 

 base ; such is also the colour of the base of the hind wings, 

 which is gradually shaded off* to a rich fulvous colour ; there is, 

 however, a broad dark longitudinal patch extending to the outer 

 margin of the wing, occupying the space between the second and 

 third branches of the post-costal vein. On the under side the 

 markings agree in the two sexes, except that the oblique bar of 

 the fore wings is even rather narrower than on the upper side, 

 and the great ocelli are also much less conspicuous than in the 

 female. The middle of both fore and hind wings is occupied with 

 a broad irregular chocolate-ferruginous bar. The post-costal 

 vein of the fore wings emits four branches. The first branch 

 arises at some distance before the extremity of the discoidal cell, 

 and joins the costal vein before the juncture of the latter with the 

 costa, being again emitted from below the extremity of the costal
