O NYMPHALIDJE. 



interspaces 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 much longer and coalescent. Hind- 

 wing costa arched ; terraen anteriorly not straight as in H. jasonia, 

 but arched, wing altogether proportionately broader and shorter, 

 with the black markings also broader. In most specimens the 

 basal double spot on the black streak in interspace 1 absent. 



Exp. 6 $ 124-130 mm. (4-9-5-3").

Mace cadelli, W.-M. & de N.— Typically differs from H. aga- 

 marschana in the greater extent of the black markings. Fore 

 wing : basal mark in interspace 1 and the whole basal portion of 

 cell black coalescent, separated merely by a narrow dusky-white 

 streak on each side of the median vein ; discal spots in interspaces 

 3 and 4 and subterminal and terminal series of spots coalescent, 

 the latter two uniting to form a more or less continuous black 

 terminal border to the wing, but not nearly so broad or so com- 

 plete as in H. hadeni. Hind wing as in H. agamarschana, but the 

 subterminal and terminal markings more or less coalescent. 



Exp. S ? 126-132 mm. (5-5-2"). 



Hob. Typical forms from the Andamans. Intermediate forms 

 recorded from Arrakan.

c? 2 ' Resembles H. agamarschana, Eelder, but the terminal 

 markings on both fore and hind wing have entirely coalesced and 

 form a broad black border covering towards the apex in the fore 

 wing more than one-third of the length of the wing and narrowing 

 towards the tornus ; the basal and discal spots in interspaces 1 

 and 2 are free, and the black in the discoidal cell is more restricted 

 than in H. cadelli. In the hind wing the broad black border is of 

 a tolerably even width throughout, with its interior margin irregu- 

 larly indented or crenulate ; the discal spots, the basal spot in 

 interspace 2 and the spot near apex of the discoidal cell are com- 

 paratively small. Upper and under sides similar. Antennae, head, 

 thorax and abdomen black; the head and thorax spotted with 

 white ; beneath, the body is white spotted with black. 



Exp. 6 $ 130-136 mm. (5-1-5-35"). 



Hob. Recorded within our limits only from the district of 

 Bassein in the south-west corner of Lower Burma. A specimen 

 labelled Siam is in the collection of the British Museum. 



I am not quite certain whether this form should not also be 

 ranked as a race or subspecies of H. agamarschana, but in all the 

 specimens I have seen the conspicuous broad black border to the 

 wings, entirely unspotted and never varying in width, is a constant 

 feature.
