 the one placed below the cell. 



5 . Eesembling vereis from Engano. Fore wing with sharply 

 marked whitish grey vein-streaks , the streaks at the submedian vein 

 broader and purer whitish grey than in Sumatran specimens, there 

 being also two thin stripes at the submedian fold ; the apex of the 

 cell whitish grey as far down as the first median vein, the patch 

 including two black streaks. The yellow area of the hind wing

 hind wing always large, extending distally to the costa. 



5 . Apex of cell of fore wing above edged with greyish white, 

 this border being wider in front than behind, not being so distinctly 

 M -shaped as in cerberiis ; the vein-stripes narrower than in helena, 

 generally well developed above and beneath, those which are situated 

 at the subcostal and discal veins extending to the cell. The black 

 discal spots of the hind wing often very large and confluent (especi- 

 ally in specimens from the hills).

 situated behind the second median vein being continued basad along 

 the cell, as in cerberus. Hind wing with a complete row of black 

 spots, the second being 9 mm. long. 



5 . The vein-streaks of the fore wing very dark and narrow on
