Euthalia rangoonensis, Swinhoe, A. M. N. H. (6) v, 1890, p. 3-54; 

 Moore (Nora), Lap. Ind. iii, 1896-99, p. 109, pi. 232, figs. 1, 

 la-Id, <$%. 



<$ . Upperside velvety black. Fore wing : cellular area with five 

 deeper black, short, sinuous, transverse narrow bands, and a very 

 broad vertical discal fascia, irrorated with greyish-blue scales, this 

 fascia not reaching the costa, narrowest in the middle and very 

 broad on the dorsal margin. Hind wing : the anterior third 

 with a yellowish-red tint, the cell with some obscure deep black 

 transverse marks, the terminal half of the wing, except a narrow 

 outer margin, densely irrorated with greyish-blue scales. Under- 

 side rich chrome-yellow, the cellular area of both fore and hind 

 wing with the usual transverse dark lines, a black spot at base of 

 interspace 1, and an ill-defined postdiscal transverse dark band on 

 the fore wing ; the discal margin broadly of the hind wing paler 

 yellow than the ground-colour. Antennae, head, thorax and 

 abdomen velvety black ; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 yellow. — 2 • Upperside dark vandyke-brown ; fore and hind wings 

 crossed by a very broad discal pale grey band, traversed by a 

 narrow lunular postdiscal broad dark line ; the inner margin of the 

 band crenulate, marked at base of interspaces 3 and 6 on fore wing 

 by a white spot, the outer margin of the band diffuse ; the cellular 

 area of both fore and hind wing with the usual dark transverse 

 markings. Underside somewhat bright ochraceous ; the usual five 

 dark transverse short lines in cellular area of fore wing and slender 

 dark loops on basal area of hind wing ; both fore and hind wing 

 with discal and postdiscal somewhat lunular and diffuse dark lines, 

 the former with the white spots in interspaces 3 and 6 as on the 

 upperside, the latter on the fore wing terminating posteriorly in a 

 large diffuse spot, on the hind wing faint and macular ; dorsal 

 margin broadly washed with greyish blue. Antennae, head, 

 thorax and abdomen much as in the <S . 



Exp. S 2 66-76 mm. (2-6-3").

Race rangoonensis, Swinhoe. — Very closely resembles the 

 typical form, the males being practically identical. 2 • Upperside 

 much paler brown, the discal fascia dingy white, not grey, 

 narrowed from the outside and thus having the appearance of being- 

 farther from the terminal margin than in the typical form ; its 

 outer margin very sinuous and crenulate. On the hind wing the 

 discal fascia terminates above vein 4. Underside differs from that 

 of the typical form as follows: ground-colour of a paler ochra- 

 ceous, the broad dingy white discal band as on the upperside 

 but continued on the hind wing down to vein 1, the whole 

 basal and dorsal area of the hind wing suffused with greyish 

 blue. 



Exp. S 2 62-78 mm. (2-43-3-07").
