Deudoeix staudingeei, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 10 S •) 



c? . Upperside dark brown ; fore wing dusted with reddish 

 brown, of a darker shade than in D. epijarhas and much less ex- 

 tensive. Hind wing: outer margin, from subcostal nervule where it 

 is broadest to lobe rather narrowly and evenly dark reddish brown, 

 crossed by black nervules ; the three median nervules dusted with 

 reddish brown from their bases nearly to the brown outer margin. 

 Lobe yellow, with a large black spot and a few blue scales. In 

 some lights both wings are suffused with dark purple, that on the 

 hind wing being most conspicuous. Underside much as in 

 D. epijarbas, with a slightly reddish tinge and the white lines rather 

 more sordid. Abdomen reddish brown above, pale buff below.

I have named this fine species after Dr. Staudinger, by whose 

 kindness I am able to describe it here and whose collection 

 contains the type and only specimen I have seen. It is a true 

 Deudorix as defined by JMr. de Niceville and should be easily 

 recognized.

Dr. Staudinger has sent a single female of this species which 

 agrees well on the underside with Hewitson's type. Theda(=R.) 

 kessuma, Horsf., which we possess from Java ( (j $ ), and which I 

 have compared \\ ith Horsfield's type ( 2 ) in the British Museum, 

 is a very closely allied species ; the male on the upperside is scarcly 

 distinguished from that sex of R. deliochus, but the female Icessuma 

 has a larger and paler blue area. On the underside the ground- 

 colour of R. l-essuma is paler and the white band at the end of 

 the cell, which in R. deliochus is continued straight almost to the 

 submedian nervure, is in R. hessuma broken at the third median 

 nervule, the lower portion being placed further out and closer to 

 the third band. Erom the available material these differences, 

 although slight, seem to hold good, but when more specimens can 

 be examined it may be found that the two species are synonymous. 

 Mr. de Niceville has described the female deliochus from Rangoon 

 (Butt. Ind. etc. iii. p. 457). They are very curious species, and I 

 may mention that I found Horsfield's type in the British Museum 

 collection placed under the genus Nacaduba, species of which on 

 the underside it much resembles.
