222 MESSRS. H. J. EL WES AND JAMES EDWAEDS : 



edge of the cell ; the outer edge of this band is nearly regularly convex, and its inner 

 edge, which is straight and passes obliquely inwards and downwards, gives off along 

 the dorsum a large triangular tooth to the base of the wing : hind wing with 

 three divergent stripes of golden-yellow hairs from the base nearly to the middle. 

 Underside paler brown than the upperside : fore wing with the yellow band as above, 

 save that its inner boundary is wanting ; an oblong brown spot from the middle of the 

 base as far as vein 2, an oblong suffused red-yellow patch between the apical fourth of 

 the cell and the costa, and a suffused yellow spot in the apex of the wing : hind wing 

 with six pale bluish-purple spots placed as follows — three at equal distances in 

 cell 1 b, one near the apical third of cell 2, one next the transverse vein, and one near 

 the middle of the upper edge of the cell, and a few scales of a similar colour near the 

 base of the costa. Antennae brown ; apex of the club and the apiculus beneath yellow. 

 Second joint of palpi clothed with yellow scales, intermixed with black ones. Thorax 

 concolorous with the base of the wings. The abdomen and legs are not in a condition 

 for description. 



Expanse 42 mm.

The above description of the male of this insect had already been written from a 

 specimen from Borneo in the collection of Mr. D. Cator when Mr. de Niceville's 

 description appeared. The female we have not seen, but from Mr. de Niceville's 

 description and figure we gather that the band on the fore wing in that sex differs in 

 colour and shape from that of the male, being red-yellow and passing obliquely from 

 the middle of the costa towards the tornus, which it does not quite reach.

Nearest allied to Kerana, but differs from it in the relative proportions of the third 

 median segment in both wings ; that of the fore wing being one-third as long as the 

 second, that of the hind wing about one-fourth as long as the second.
