Hab, Sarawak. 1 ¢ in Brit. Mus., 2 ¢ ¢ from Kuching, 
Sarawak (2. Shelford), in the Hope Museum, Oxford. 
In the two ¢ specimens in the Hope Museum there is a small 
spot of reddish pubescence just under the anterior part of the 
lower lobe of each eye, in addition to the somewhat larger rounded 
spot of the same kind behind the lobe. In these specimens also 
the third reddish spot of each elytron—that placed a short distance 
behind the base of the large tufted tubercle, but a little more 
externally—is present and distinct, and there is a cinereous patch 
crossing the elytra a little in front of the apex.

3. Body olive-black, with a rather feeble greenish-blue gloss ; 
under side white-spotted as in J/. rhadamantha. Wings mummy- 
brown above and below, not distinctly metallic, except costal 
margin of fore wing below and a small dot at base of tore wing 
above. Fore wing, upper side: a series of broad creamy-white 
streaks from costal margin to SM°*, separated by the brown veins, 
the upper ones reaching from margin halfway to cell, the posterior 
ones shorter and not quite touching margin. A series of streaks 
also on hind wing, but here thin, submarginal. The streaks 
present on under side of both wings, broader than above, all 
reaching margin, 
2. Similar to ¢ ; streaks of fore wing vestigial and narrow 
above, the five posterior ones ending proximally in a small white 
spot, streak M’-M* much longer than the two above and the one 
below it; streaks of under side of fore wing broader than above, 
but thinner than in male and much more clayish. No streaks on 
hind wing above, but vestiges of them present on underside, 
(Neuration of this specimen abnormal on right fore wing.) 
Length of fore wing: ¢ 32, 2 36 mm.
