Hindwing with the usual linear black markings in the cell; a discal series of 
six small obscure black spots, followed by a broad submarginal pure white band 
crossed by the black veins, decreasing in width at either end, bounded anteriorly 
and posteriorly by a narrow metallic green line, both lines increasing in width 
towards the abdominal margin where they meet in a poit, the anterior line 
through four interspaces divided from the broad submarginal white band by 
narrow lunules of the ground-colour ; abdomthal margin broadly pale fuscous. 
Cilia of both wings very narrow, white. UNDERSIDE, forewing reddish-brown ; 
the discoidal black markings very prominent; a discal irregular lunulated black 
band; a slightly curved submarginal series of six increasing round black spots ; 
the apex and outer margin decreasingly pale violet. Hindwing pale violet, the — 
outer margin fuscous; the white submarginal band as above, inwardly bounded 
by a series of round black spots between the veins, the innermost spots linear, 
recurved to the abdominal margin; followed by a series of four linear black 
spots from the third median nervule to the submedian nervure; then an 
angulate series of eight spots extending right across the disc of the wing, the 
discoidal cell and the base marked with numerous black spots. 
Nearest to Zanaécia nicéviller, Distant, from Perak, the type and two males 
of which I am able to compare with 7’. elone, differing conspicuously on the 
upperside of the forewing in having a very small metallic green area at the 
anal angle instead of a large blue area, and on the hindwing in having a large 
submarginal pure white band defined on both sides by metallic green, and not 
reaching the outer margin, not bearing a series of black spots at its middle, 
instead of a much broader blue band extending right up to the outer margin, 
On the underside of the hindwing the black macular markings are very well 
marked and prominent, much more so than in 7’. nicevillez, and the white band 
is again a conspicuous differential character. 7. zichri, Butler, from Sarawak 
(Borneo) and Malacca, appears to be another allied but quite distinct species. 
Can the genus Zanaécia be retained as a full genus? As ab present under- 
stood it contains a very heterogeneous collection of euthaliad butterflies ; but, as 
Mr. Doherty has pointed out,* the one character by which I once thought it 
could be separated from Huthalia, viz., by the anastomosis of the first subcostal 
nervule with the costal nervure of the forewing, has been shown by him to be 
utterly inconstant, even in the same species, and there appears to be, therefore, 
no other generic character left, unless the slender bristle-like terminal joint to 
the palpi be considered of sufficient generic significance, but, as far as my col- 
lection goes, only 7’. pulasara, Moore, which is the type of Zenaécia, T. aruna, 
Feder, and 7’. martigena, Weymer, possess this feature, all the other so-called
