purplish ; a discal curved series of ferruginous-brown lunules, 

 followed by a postdiscal, curved, whitish sinuate line edged out- 

 wardly by a more slender dark line ; this latter is most clearly 

 defined posteriorly ; finally, a very slender subterminal silvery 

 white line that becomes obsolescent anteriorly. Antennae, head, 

 thorax and abdomen much as in the tf, but paler on both upper 

 and undersides. 



Exp. 6 2 34-36 mm. (1-45-1-48"). 



Hab. Tenasserim : Mergui ; the Malay Peninsula. 



The $ of this form and that of P. phalia have the termen of 

 the hind wing indented above vein 4, with the apex of that vein 

 produced and broadly dentate. In fact very like in outline to the 

 hind wing of Abisara angulata. 



Genus ZARONA. 

 Zarona, de Nictville, Butt, Ind. iii, 1890, p. 34. 



Type, Z. jasoda, de Niceville, from Burma. 



Range. Burma; Siara. 



cf 5 . Fore wing : costa very slightly arched ; apex subacute ; 

 termen slightly convex ; dorsura nearly straight, slightly convex 

 in d 1 , quite straight in $ , about four-fifths the length of the 

 costa ; cell about half length of wing ; veins 3 and 4 from its 

 lower apex, veins 5, 6 and 7 from its upper apex, so closely 

 approximate at base that practically there is no upper or middle 

 discocellular, the lower discocellular long, erect ; vein 8 from 

 apical third of 7, vein 9 from basal half of 7 ; vein 10 from apical 

 fourth of subcostal; vein 11 very short, anastomosed with vein 12 

 soon after origin ; vein 12 terminates on costal margin not 

 opposite to but well beyond upper apex of cell. Hind wing: 

 subtriangular ; costa strongly arched at base then nearly straight 

 to apex ; apex rounded ; termen very slightly arched, nearly 

 straight, slightly and bluntly dentate at the apices of the veins 

 posteriorly; tornus bluntly angulate; dorsum long, slightly 

 convex ; cell about half length of wing ; veins 3 and 4 from lower 

 apex of cell or from a point a little beyond ; vein 5 closer to 6 at 

 base than to 4 ; vein 7 nearer to vein 6 than to base of wing ; 

 vein 8 strongly arched at base, terminates at apex of wing ; pre- 

 costal area wide at the humeral angle. Antennae about half 

 length of wing, gradually incrassate, club flattened beneath ; palpi 

 stout, porrect, thickly scaled anteriorly, not fringed with hairs, 

 third joint short ; eyes naked ; legs short and stout ; body robust. 

 c? without any secondary sex-mark. 



Only two forms have been described or recorded from within 

 our limits, and as one is in all probability the $ of the other, a 

 key to the forms is not necessary.
