4. CODANE leucomelas, n. sp. 



Female. White : fore wing with a broad transverse purplish-black 

 apical band, and a narrow medial oblique band, decreasing to a point 

 at its lower end and from the upper end of which the costal border is 

 also black ; three white obliquely disposed subapical spots, and a very 

 narrow one with bordering white cilia at the apex : hindwing with a 

 similar coloured marginal band, and a single white apical spot. Thorax,

Hab. Ponsokai, Siam. 



This species differs from the same sex of C. zelica, on the forewing, 

 in the apical and middle black band being narrower, the inner margin of 

 the apical band crossing at the angle of the upper median vein, at which 

 point it is slightly bent, and is thence straight to the posterior angle ; 

 the middle band is about half its width, and ends in a point posteriorly, 

 the three subapical and apical white spots are similar : hindwing with a 

 somewhat narrower black marginal band, and a larger white apical spot.
