identified by Mr. Elwes as varieties of P. acco and P. delphius 

 respectively ; the two latter were desci-ibed as P. acconus S and 

 $ by Herr Friilistorfer from the writer's figures. 



A species of Ragaclia, from the Battak Mts. in Sumatra, has 

 been added to the paper, and is here fig'ured for the first time.

Habitat. Battak Mountains, Sumatra, June 1896. 



Description. — Male. Upper side pale fuliginous brown, crossed 

 by two darker fuscous bands running parallel to one another from 

 the costa of the fore wing to the inner margin of the hind wing, 

 the outer being much broadened on the hind wing. There is also 

 a shorter band proximal to the body, which, starting parallel to 

 the others on the fore- wing costa, ends at the origin of the sub- 

 median on the fore wing. From the apex of the fore wing to 

 the inner angle of the hind wing runs a submarginal row of 

 small, indistinct, fuscous spots, one in each interspace. The wing- 

 margins are narrowly fuscous, the colour being bounded by a 

 narrow submarginal band looped on the fore wing and on the 

 hind wing parallel to the margin. Under side similar in markings 

 to the upper, but the ground-colour pale buff and the row of spots 

 silver instead of fuscous. 



The antennae, head, thorax, abdomen, and legs like those of 

 P. crisia Hiibner, from which this species differs in its generally 

 pale ground-colour, and in the ocellate band of crisia being 

 reduced to mere pupils of silver below and fuscous above.

 ochreous ; two transverse series of black discal spots, the inner
