dentate ; liarpe produced into a curved, almost finger-like, pointed, ventral process 

 (PI. XXXV. f. 15), the oblique upper margin dilated into a triangular lobe, which 

 is armed with teetli. Penis-sheath with one curved process, which is less than 

 twice as long as the sheatli is wide (PI. XXVIII. f. 34) ; the process recurved 

 towards the sheath. 



?. Vaginal i)Iate (PI. XXI. f. 14) rather strongly chitinised, glalirous, 

 convex mesially, vaginal cavity before middle, covered liy a long sinuate-truncate 

 lobe which narrows distad.

c? ? . A smaller form than the following ; sides of mesothoracic tegulae of the 

 same clayish brown colour as the forewing ; margin of hindwing almost even ; 

 fringe of both wings less extended white ; underside of both wings darker. Harjie 

 of S •■ the dorsal lobe with several prominent teeth. 



There is perhaps a darker continental and a paler brown insular form. 



Ifdb. North India: Sikkim, Silhet; Andamans; Borneo; Mindanao; Sula Islands. 



In the Tring Museum : Sikkim, 3 c? c? ; Sula Mangioli (W. Doherty, Nov. 1897),

Our Sula specimen has much paler forewings than the Sikkim JcJ,and the 

 transverse dentate lines are more or less obliterated.

(J?. Sides of mesothoracic tegulae huffish white, strongly contrasting with 

 the forewing. Forewing above shaded with olive-grey scales, especially in post- 

 discal and liasal regions, the oblique streak in apex of cell centred with brown, 

 a sejiarate black sjiot at n])per angle of cell. Hindwing, above, ])aler at costal and 

 abdominal margins than in the preceding form, the pale discal band more distinctly 

 indicated, e8i)ecially at anal angle, outer margin distinctly scalloped. On the 

 underside, the internal margin of the forewing very pale. Harpe (PI. XXXV.
