NEW NORTH-EASTERN SUMATRA BUTTERFLIES. 49 
Tanaéecias, including 7. nicévillei and 7. elone, have the palpi normal and as in 
typical Hathalia. At best Tanaéecia can, I think, only be retained as a subgenus. 
E. elone is described from a single specimen in Dr. L. Martin’s collection.

EXPANse: @, 9, 1°65 inches. 
DEscrIpTION : Mate. UPpPERSIDE, both wings rich deep orange. fore- 
wing with a short black basal line ; two subbasal lines filled in with fuscous ; 
the disco-cellular nervules enclosed by two exceedingly fine lines, the space 
between them of the ground-colour, these two lines themselves enclosed in two 
other lines filled in with fuscous ; a broad discal single line ; a pair of sub- 
marginal lines enclosing two short lines, the anterior of these placed between 
the discoidal nervules, the posterior between the second median nervule and 
the submedian nervure; a marginal line—all these black lines almost 
straight, and reaching from the costa to the inner margin. AMindwing with no 
basal line ; the two following pairs of lines as in the forewing, but the outer 
pair, instead of enclosing two fine disco-cellular lines, has a single line on its 
inner edge ; the discal and submarginal lines as in the forewing, but the latter 
yaiv enclosing a continuous broad black line, ending at the anal angle in two 
detached spots ; a marginal diffused line, anda very fine anteciliary line. 
UnpersipE, both wings as above, all the black markings very prominent, the 
two basal pairs of lines not filled in with fuscous, the ground-colour a trifle paler 
perhaps than on the upperside. FEMALE, much as in the male, but the wings 
broader, the ground-colour very much paler, all the black markings less intense. 
Nearest to C. risa, Doubleday and Hewitson, which occurs from Kumaon — 
to Assam, in Burma, and again in Java, but not in the Malay Peninsula ; 
differs therefrom in the male in its darker ground-colour, the two basal pairs 
of lines on the upperside being filled in with fuscous, the discal single line 
being much broader, and especially in the absence of all violet markings in the 
space enclosed by the submarginal pair of lines, this being a very conspicuous 
feature in C. risa. In the hindwing of C. cyanee these purple markings are 
replaced by a broad black line ; also in C. risa there is always a more or less 
conspicuous series of pale yellow triangular markings in both wings, but more 
especially in the hindwing, placed internally to the inner of the two submar- 
ginal lines, which is quite absent in C. cyanee.
