nervure, the outer half of the wing broadly and the abdominal 

 margin fuscous ; the whole of the discoidal cell and seven streaks 

 beyond the cell creamy-white, the six anterior streaks are outwardly 

 irrorated with purple scales, the outermost streaks at either end of the 

 series are the largest, the series decreasing by pairs till the fourth 

 or middle spot is reached, which is the smallest ; a submarginal series 

 of seven rounded creamy- white spots, the two anteriormost ones the 

 largest. Undekside, both wings glossy bronzy-brown, without any 

 purple gloss whatever. Forewing with the markings as on the upper-

 streaks in the middle of the submedian interspace ; there is a 

 short white streak at the base of the discoidal cell ; and the basal 

 third of the sutural area is also white. Hindwing marked as on the 

 upperside, but the white streaks beyond the cell are wider, the 

 submarginal spots are twice as large, and there is an additional round

P. danisepa is a local race of P. caunus, Westwood, from Borneo. 

 Other local races are P. cegialus. Distant, from the Malay Peninsula, 

 and P. velutinus, Butler, from Sumatra.* The Javan form has not 

 been named, though it has been recorded from thence by Dr. F elder as 

 P. caunus. Of all these, P. danisepa is the largest and most beautiful, 

 in the same way that P. telearchus, Hewitson, is the largest and most 

 beautiful species of the group of P. paradoxa, Zinken-Sommer. 

 With regard to P. telearchus, of which I described and figured the
