underside both sexes vary very much in the size and clearness of 

 definition of the markings, and the variety just mentioned has 

 these (especially the terminal markings) partially obsolescent. 



Race marcia, Fawcett. A very slightly differentiated form. 

 Differs from typical cymbia as follows : j . Upperside : similar, 

 the purple ground-colour in the only two specimens that I have 

 had an opportunity of examining slightly brighter. Underside, 

 fore wing : ground-colour slightly greyish or bluish-white ; the 

 basal dark brown streak shorter, the lunular dark brown mark 

 beyond it replaced by an irregular upper and lower spot distinctly 

 divided by the median vein ; the discal and postdiscal markings 

 similar but narrow, edged with white and distinctly paler. Hind 

 wing : the anterior half of the cell and up to the costa above it, 

 the base of the wing and the disc shaded with greyish brown ; the 

 brown spots and maculated bands paler, except the large spot 

 nearest the costa of the transverse subbasal row of spots, and 

 the two spots (which are of equal size) above the discocellular 

 spot ; terminal markings all paler and fainter than in the typical 

 form. 5 . Yerv similar to the variety of cymbia described briefly 

 above, but on the upperside the blue suffusion at the base of the 

 wings is replaced by pale brown and on the hind wing the area of 

 white on the disc is less extensive. Underside : very similar to the 

 underside of the typical form, the markings all slightly smaller, 

 paler and less prominent. 



Exp. S 2 28-35 mm. (MO-1-37"). 



Hab. Recorded so far only from Burma : Taungoo, Mergui, the 

 Shan States.

d $ . Fore wing : costa very slightly arched ; apex subacute ; 

 termen convex ; torrms almost a right angle ; dorsum straight ; 

 cell long, more than half the length of the wing ; vein 7 from 

 before upper apex of cell, upper discocellular therefore in line with 

 subcostal vein, middle and lower discocellulars vertical, subequal ; 

 veins 1 and 2 very wide apart at base ; veins 2 and 3 given off 

 from apical fourth of median vein, vein 4 from lower apex of 

 cell, 6 from upper apex of cell, 8 absent, 9 from apical half of 7, 

 10 and 11 free, 12 terminates on costa before apex of cell ; veins 

 1 and 12 and median and subcostal veins thickened towards base. 

 Hind wing : broad ; costa widely arched ; apex and tornus well 

 marked ; termen convex ; short projections (scarcely tails) at 

 apices of veins 1 to 3 ; dorsum only slightly convex ; cell about 

 half length of wing ; middle and lower discocellulars concave and 

 sloping obliquely outwards ; veins 1 o, 1, median and subcostal
