176 MESSES. H, J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAEIDS : 



Dark fulio-inous brown with somewhat of a purple tmge, the latter most evident 

 on hind win" below. Male with no trace of a pale band on either side of the 

 fore wing ; in the female ^ {fide de Niceville) the fore wing has an obsolete oblique 

 discal red band, which is sometimes quite absent from the upperside, but always 

 distinctly traceable on the underside. This species, though distinct enough to admit 

 of its definition, is evidently but little removed from the preceding ; being, in fact, more 

 remote from it in the matter of facies than it is in the form of the male genitalia.

" Male. Upperside, both wings shining fuscous. Fore wing with a broad oblique 

 discal orange fascia exactly as in Kerana armatus, Druce, that is to say, the band is 

 about twice as long as it is broad, and it does not quite reach the costa, the outer 

 margin at the anal angle, or the inner margin ; but it differs slightly in form from the 

 band in that species, as its inner edge anteriorly is obliquely cut off instead of being 

 continued straight to the margin. Hind wing unmarked. Underside: both wings 

 paler than on the upperside, of a more sooty brown. Fore wing has the discal band 

 rather broader than on the upperside, reaching the inner margin ; it is paler, moreover, 

 throughout, especially so posteriorly. Hind wing immaculate. Antennae black, the 

 apex of the club paler beneath. Palpi blunt, the third joint hidden beneath the 

 second. — Female exactly like the male."

" Female. Upperside, both wings sooty-brown. Fore wing with a broad oblique 

 discal orange fascia (not as broad as in Celcenorrhinus ladana, Butler, Kerana armatus, 

 Druce, and Koruthaialos kerala, de Niceville) commencing near the costa, ending 

 near the submedian nervure, its edges irregular, crossed by the dark brown veins,
