wing black, following a curved highly sinuous black line, com- 

 mencing above the white short streak at base of costa, circling 

 round through apex of cell, base of interspace 3, across apical 

 fourth of interspaces 2 and 1 to tornus ; a spot on costa above the 

 discocellulars, another beyond on middle of costa, three very 

 obliquely placed detached elongate spots in interspaces 5, 6 and 7 

 and a preapical obscure spot creamy white. Hind Aving bluish 

 white ; a subterminal black irregular band, very broad in inter- 

 space 6, decreasing to a slender line below the tail to tornus ; a 

 slender white terminal line, interrupted in interspaces 4 and 5. 

 Underside : fore wing white, the cell anteriorly and the discal and 

 apical areas above vein 3 variegated with black, with intervening- 

 spaces of red, ochraceous brown and the white ground-colour ; 

 interspace 2 suffused with yellow, interspace 1 with a diffuse 

 black spot spreading into the interspaces above and below ; the 

 terminal margin from apex to tornus narrowly black. Hind wing 

 with broad transverse black markings at base, interrupted by an 

 oblique elongate red spot, followed by a transverse band, and a 

 discal series of elongate black markings in the end of the cellular 

 area and interspaces, these latter traversed by the veins with narrow 

 ochraceous-brown intervening spaces ; four transverse postdiscal 

 highly sinuous greyish lines on a black ground, these lines diffuse 

 and broadened posteriorly ; a subterminal incomplete narrow^ trans- 

 verse band and an incomplete terminal black line ; the tail black ; 

 the apices of interspaces 1 and 2 and of the tail bluish white. 

 Antennae black ; head, thorax and abdomen bluish white, the 

 pronotum with transverse, the mesonotum with longitudinal lines 

 of black ; beneath, the palpi bluish white with a lateral line of 

 red, thorax white variegated with black and red ; abdomen white, 

 with a longitudinal line of black. — Female unknown. 



Exp. S 112 mm. (4-41"). 



Hab. Recorded only from Tenasserim and Lower Burma. 



This race differs prominently from the typical form by the black 

 on the terminal area of the hind wing on the upperside being very 

 much narrower and more restricted.
