Java. 



I cannot but believe that these are sexes of the same 

 species ; the fore wings of the male have the basal streak of 

 the female, the subcostal discal spot, and a costal s[)ot, indi- 

 cating the commencement of the medial transverse band, and 

 on the underside of the hind wings the same peculiar macular 

 submarginal band ; the other differences are no more than is 

 nsual between the sexes in this extraordinary family : the 

 types of both came from Java, and I have three males and a 

 female from the same locality.

? . Shafts of antennse, frons, head, thorax, and first two 

 segments of the abdomen bright metallic blue-green; re- 

 mainder of abdomen dull ochreous ; wings white ; plumes of 

 the antennae and basal portions of both wings black, the 

 latter being Avell covered with bright metallic blue-green 

 scales, and on the fore wings is extended along the costa and 

 joins the large outer black band, which occupies quite a third 

 of the wing and contains a wdiite subcostal spot near the 

 apex and two white spots close together near the outer margin 

 a little above the middle : hind wings with a black outer 

 marginal band about half the width of the band of the fore 

 wings, the band narrowing hindwards and terminating in a

 legs with metallic blue-green scales : wings as above ; both 

 wings with metallic blue-green scales covering the basal

China. 



Drury's type came from China ; Walker's type of ferrea 

 in the B. M. is from Hong Kong, I have it from Tonkin ; 

 Drury's figure is a very good representatiou of the Chinese 

 insect, which is very different to the various Indian forms in
