Imago. — Male. Foreioing elongated, triangular; costa arched regularly, apes 

 and posterior angle obtusely pointed, exterior margin oblique and almost straight; 

 cell long, broad. Rindioing short, triangular; costa oblique beyond the end of 

 costal vein, somewhat produced and obtusely pointed at end of upper subcostal, the 

 extreme outer margin very slightly scalloped; submedian fold very hairy; cell 

 extending to half the wing, narrow ; upper subcostal emitted at about one-third 

 from base of the cell ; discocellular acutely bent inwards below the middle. 

 Antennae short, with a gradually thickened lengthened club. 



Type. — B. Telearchus. 



MiJiroRY. — The typical species, Telearchus, of this genus, mimics, in both sexes, 

 the corresponding sexes of the common Buplceine butterfly Trepsichrois Linnsei, the 

 female, according to the observations of Mr. W. Doherty, appears to be dimorphic, 

 one form resembling the male, and the other the female of T. Linnxi. Our other 

 Indian species, i'aiiisejja, is also a beautiful mimic of the Euplceine butterfly Danisejia 

 Mhadamanthus. 



Larva, Pupa, and Habits of Allied Species. — Dr. L. Martin writes of the allied 

 Sumatran species, Euploeopsis Butleri. " The larva was found on a low shrub in the 

 forest ; they were velvety-black with fleshy red tubercles. The pupa suspended by 

 a black median girth, adheres, by the three posterior abdominal segments, to a 

 branch of the food-plant, and looks like an obliquely cut-oS" bit of stick, as do the 

 pupce of all this group ; the pupa is quite rigid, and has no motion in the abdominal
