Sarawak, Borneo. Also from the Nilgiri Hills. 
Sir George Hampson has put this form as one of the 
synonyms of the common Indian Rhesala digramma, Walker ; 
but it is a good form and very constant. I have some fine 
specimens now from Sarawak, and am able to properly 
determine it; the type specimen is old and badly set, and 
would not bear much handling. I have three examples from 
the Nilgiri Hills; they are slightly larger, but otherwise 
identical. 
Rhesala asphalta, nov. 
g. Ochreous brown, both wings crossed by many very fine 
brown striations ; orbicular round, reniforin ear-shaped, both 
pale-ringed; transverse lines dark brown, indistinet—first 
antemedial, nearly erect ; second postmedial, from centre of 
hinder margin, outwardly oblique and sinuous, curving round 
the reniform to the costa; third submarginal and sinuous ; 
costal margin with some pale points towards apex; one 
example has a deep black band filling up the inner space 
caused by the curve of the second line: hind wings with two 
indistinct pale discal lines, marked with brown on their inner 
sides towards the abdominal margin; both wings with black 
marginal lunules: underside uniform dark grey, pale points 
on costa of fore wings; black lunules on outer margins of 
both wings. 
Expanse of wings 4% inch. 
Dawson, Queensland. 
Allied to &. imparata, Walker, but that species has a dark 
brown band behind the collar. 
Ihesala tada, nov. 
. Head, thorax, and fore wings bright orange-yellow
