1886.] Lepidopfera of Oachar. 389 



in having the darker wings richly purple-glossed, with the very scanty 

 setulose clothing of their bases conforming in colour to that of the male, 

 and in the costal area of the hindwing being concolorous with the rest 

 of the organ, as in the male. 



Expanse, 2*0 and 2'1 inches. 



In our figure the downy clothing of the upperside of the wings at the 

 base is not represented of a sufficiently light and bright shade ; it is in 

 reality of a clear bright whity-brown or straw-colour, which, being con- 

 spicuously contrasted with the dark margins, renders P. stramineipennis 

 most readily distinguishable from P. murdava, in which the downy 

 clothing is, as has already been stated, yellowish-olivaceous. 



The genital armature, which has been carefully examined in several 

 specimens of each species, though identical in general plan, yet differs 

 greatly in detail in the two. 



Some hundreds of specimens of each species have passed through 

 our hands. 



Two males, Silcuri and Irangmara, 30th June and 11th July.
