644 MR. H. J. ELWES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [DcC. 6, 



Rapala subguttata, n. sp. (Plate XLIV. fig. 1, cJ-) 



Above, both wings dull purple, darkening towards apex and outer 

 margin, which are nearly black. 



Below dull vinous brown, with a short double bar at the end of 

 cell in both wings ; a single basal spot and cluster of three other spots 

 beyond the bar on hind wing ; a double streak from near these towards 

 inner margin. On one side there is an additional spot beyond the 

 bar on the fore wing, on the other a similar one near the costa of 

 hind wing. Frons and underside of body and abdomen whitish ; 

 above black. 



Expanse 33 mm. 



Described from a single male taken in the Karen Hills at 4000- 

 5000 feet. 



The peculiar spotting of the underside makes this very distinct 

 from any species in the genus known to me. 



Rapala sequeira.

R. sequeira, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 466 note. 



A single specimen without head, body, or anal lobe from Perak 

 agrees best with the figure above cited, but seems by the shape of 

 the wings and absence of any sexual mark to be a female, whilst 

 Distant's plate would give one the idea of a male. 



Rapala utimutis. 



Deudorix utimutis, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 279, t. xxiii. 22 cf . 



R. utimutis, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 466 note. 



A single male from Perak agrees with Distant's description and 

 figure better than with Hewitson's description of D. pheretima. It 

 has the antennae black ringed with white, and a broad white band 

 just below the rufous tip.
