are indications of brownish marks close to the margin between the 

 nervules beyond the spots. There is an antecih'ary black line to 

 that part of the hind wing which is white, and beyond a white 

 cilium. The cilia of fore wing and remaining portion of hind wing 

 coucolorous with wings. 



2 . Upperside much like that sex of P. martina, Hew., but 

 the white anal area of hind \A-ing more extensive, with the black 

 spots more inclined to be separated and the nervules crossing the 

 white area white, not brown as in that species. Underside as 

 male, but the yellow of a much brighter shade and the black 

 markings on hind wing inclined to be larger and more distinct.

 ( Elwes). 



In the figure given of this species (P. Z. S. 1873) the tuft of 

 hairs appears to lie along the median nervure from the base. 

 This is incorrect, as it does not originate near the base but just 

 over the glandular patch. The female can be distinguished from 

 that sex of P. martina by the inner black band on laind wing being 

 (as in the male) placed farther from the mai"gin than in that 

 species. 



V. scopula varies much in size, one male measuring 1-^ inch, 

 whilst another expands Ij^ inch. 



The female has three subcostal nervvdes as in the male.

Elopura (Fryer). 



Differs from the typical form by the blue on the upperside being 

 rather more extensive and of a paler, greenish shade, but on the 

 underside cannot be separated. 



I have examined the specimen from Singapore figured by 

 Mr. Distant ^ as the female of N. amrita and find that it is that 

 sex of Jacoona anasuja, Feld., the black streak at the base of the 

 costal nervure being distinctly present, although it has apparently 

 escaped the notice of both its describer and his artist.

 I have not seen this species, which appears to be very distract.
