of the colouring is a straight line approximately at right angles 

 to the long axis of the wing. 



(?) 1 $ . 1.10.13 (No. 75, 1914). 



Probably belongs to this species, which appears to be the most 

 abundant in the district where the present specimen was captured. 

 Wings with smoky tinge. Head as in the male, but with a small 

 pair of orange spots, one on either side of the ocelli. 



Prothorax black, with two small orange spots lying one over 

 the other on either side. 



Thorax black, pulverulent below, marked with yellow as 

 follows : — A dorsal band and a band running along either side of 

 the humeral and lateral sutures, the sutures themselves marked 

 with a black line. 



Abdomen black, sides of segment 1 yellow, 2, 3, 4 with a yellow 

 lateral band, which is continued on 5, 6, and 7 as a very fine 

 line. Appendages black. 



Legs black, the femora marked on their outer sides with 

 yellow. 



The type-male and the female described above will be deposited 

 in the British Museum. 



12. PSEUDOPH.EA BASALIS, Sp. U. 



2 S 6. Kina Balu, 11-18.9.13 (Nos. 49, 65, 1914). 



Hind wing 27 mm., abdomen 35 mm. An.n. 22. Pn.n. 29. 



Distinguished from its allies especially by the colour-pattern 

 of the hind wings, by the relatively small size of the auricles on 

 the second abdominal segment, and by the well-rounded vesicle 

 of the penis. 



In both specimens the whole body and its appendages are of a 

 rich velvety black, excepting the upper lip, the gense, and a space 

 on either side of the eyes in front, which is porcellanous in 

 texture and dull grey-blue in colour. The thorax is pulverulent 

 below. 



The upper pair of wings have a smoky tinge, especially evident 

 on the antenodal costal and subcostal spaces and at the apex 

 of the wings. 



The basal four-sevenths of the hinder wing is of a rich metallic 

 green or blue, excepting the antenodal costal and subcostal spaces,, 

 the median space, the quadrilateral and the submedian space. 

 These are all very deeply tinged with black. The apical three- 

 sevenths of the wing is entirely black, with metallic reflex. The 

 boundary between the two colours is a straight line at right 

 angles to the long axis of the wing, lying some 10 cells beyond 

 the nodus. The type-male is deposited in the British Museum.
