D. donina, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 442, t. xxix. fig. 23.5 $ . 



Quite abundant in East Pegu, judging from the number taken by 

 Doherty. I do not see the least variation or difference between the 

 sexes.

Z. distorta, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 452, t. xxix. fig. 239 S . 



A pair from Petichaung in East Pegu at about 500 feet elevation. 



Rapala abnormis, n. sp. (Plate XLIV. fig. 2, S .) 



Three males were sent from the Karen Hills, one of which was 

 marked by Doherty '■'Rapala sp., possibly an abnormal schistacea." 

 As, however, all three agree perfectly in the very peculiar markings 

 of the underside, and there were no examples of R. schistacea in 

 the collection, I think this must be a new species, of which I 

 am, however, unfortunately only able to describe the male as 

 follows : — 



cJ . Above same size and colour and blue gloss as R. schistacea, 

 but darker. Below chalky white with yellow tinge, with a large 

 lead-coloured patch in the centre of fore and hind wings ; a broad 

 transverse submarginal band of similar colour on both wings from 

 costa to inner margin ; a narrower and paler marginal band. A tinge 

 of fulvous at aual angle ; the lobe black, with indistinct pale fringe 

 extending above the tail, which is black with white tip. 



Rapala orshis. 



Deudoria: orseis. Hew. 111. Di. Lep. p. 23 (1863). 

 R. orseis, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 461. 



Sent from Margharita, the Karen Hills, and one male from Perak, 

 which I think must be referred to R, orseis.
