straight from tlie costa to the first median nervule, thence zigzagged 

 to the abdominal margin, this latter portion is ochreous, and bears on 

 each side a very fine black and an outer white line ; the usual round 

 black spot in the first median interspace faintly crowned with 

 orange ; the submedian interspace between the discal line and the 

 margin irrorated with turquoise-blue scales ; the anal lobe deep 

 black crowned by a silvery-blue spot ; anterior to the lobe is a short 

 silvery-blue fascia. .Cilia black, with an anteciliary white line on 

 the anal half of the wing. Female. Upperside, both wings shining 

 dark hair- brown somewhat tinted with ochreous. Forewing with 

 the costa widely extending well into the discoidal cell and the outer 

 margin less widely fuscous. Hindioing has the anal lobe deep black 

 inwardly bearing a small ochreous spot, outwardly defined by a 

 narrow white line, which line is continued along the outer margin as 

 far as the discoidal nervule, and is inwardly defined by a very thin black 

 and then a white line ; tail black, tipped with white. Cilia of the 

 hindwing anally black, anteriorly and in the forewing dull ochreous. 

 Underside, both wings as in the male, except that the ground-colour 

 is paler, being of a distinctly greenish-ochreous shade. 



I do not know any species, except R. rhoda, de Niceville, next de- 

 scribed, to which the present species isallied, the coloration of the 

 upperside of the male being quite unique. On the underside of both 

 sexes the coloration and markings are very similar to those of 

 a. xenophoHy Fabricius, which is also found in N.-E. Sumatra. 



Described from several males in Hofrath Dr. L. Martin's collection 

 and my own taken in the Battak Mountains in March, May, July, 

 August, September, and December, and a single female in Dr. 

 Martin's collection, without date ; also one male from Selesseh.
