placed between them, but a little removed from tbe margin, all deep 

 black ; a black anteciliary thread from the anal angle to the second 

 median nervule. Cilia white. Tails white, anteriorly black in the 

 middle. Undekside, loth nings of the purest china white. Foretcing 

 with the apical third of the wing ochreous, bearing inwardly a band 

 of the ground-colour from the inner margin to the lower discoidal 

 nervule, and a short white line beyond in the submedian interspace. 

 Hindtoing with two prominent round subcostal black spots, the inner 

 the larger ; two fine broken submarginal black threads, the outer 

 consisting of fi^e detached portions, one in each interspace from 

 tlje costa to the second median nervule, the inner continuous, 

 extending from the first subcostal nervule to the internal nervure ; 

 the three black spots at the anal angle as on the upperside ; a fine 

 black, line extends from just above the anal lobe to the abdominal 

 margins. Female. Upperside, both ivings shining brown. Foreiuing 

 unmarked. Hindidng with the anal area broadly white, the inner 

 edge of this area scalloped, bearing the three black spots and 

 the black anteciliary thread as in the male. Underside, foreicing 

 as in the male. Hindwing lacking the internal of the subcostal 

 black spots, otherwise as in the male. 



Closely allied to 8. lisides, Hewitson, which occurs in Sylhet, 

 theKhasi Hills, the Tenasserim Valley, and the Mergui Archipelago, 

 being replaced apparently to the southwards by the above-described 

 species, which differs from it in the entire absence in both sexes of the 

 rufous area on the upperside of the forewing. In " The Butterflies 

 of India, Burmah and Ceylon," vol., iii, p. 387, n. 942 (1890), I 

 identified the type female of 8. siiessa as an aberrational form of 

 8. lisides, and described it as follows :— " A female from Selangor in 

 the Malay Peninsula differs from two females from Burma in having 

 the upperside of the forewing entirely smoky-brown, the orange 

 patch being wholly wanting ; on the hindwing the white irrpration 

 at the anal angle is much reduced." 



Described from two male examples from Perak, and a female 

 from Selangor.
