species being like both sexes of the former group.* My male specimen 

 agrees very well with Mr. Moore's figure of the same sex, differing only 

 in the lowest white streak of the discal series in the first median 

 interspace in the forewing being slightly less elongated, and the spot 

 in the middle of the submedian interspace of that wing being out- 

 wardly cleft only, instead of being completely separated into two 

 sj)ots.

Habitat: Java. 



Expanse: cf, 28; 9 , 3-2 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, loth wings fuscous, crossed by a 

 common macular discal pale greenish-yellow band. Foreiving, the band 

 consists of seven well-separated spots, gradually increasing in size from 

 the costal to the inner margin, the uppermost spot a little out of line 

 with the rest, shifted inwardly towards the base of the wing, the spots all 

 more or less rounded, the one in the submedian interspace cleft outwardly ; 

 a very small white subapical spot ; a submarginal series of increasing 

 obscure black spots placed between the veins. Hindioing, the discal 

 band consists of eight conjoined spots, the three uppermost pure white, 

 each spot has its inner edge rounded, its outer edge brought to a point 

 in the middle ; a submarginal obscure black fascia, beyond which is a de- 

 creasing series of seven small round white spots, one in each interspace. 

 Underside, both ivings pale brown, glossed throughout with violet ; the 

 common discal band much as above. Foreiving with a black ring-spot 

 centred with crimson in the middle of the discoidal cell, a crimson 

 line placed on the disco-cellular nervules, defined on both sides by a 

 black line ; some obscure linear black spots placed between the veins 

 midway between the discal band and the outer margin. Hindioing with 

 a very small black ring-spot in the middle of the cell, a black line on 

 either side of the disco- cellular nervules, a submarginal series of linear 

 black spots much as in the forewing. Female. Upperside, loth ivings 

 much paler than in the male, the disco-cellular mai'kings shewing 

 through. Forewing with the discal macular band as in the male but 

 white, and the four anterior spots larger, all the spots outwardly sharply 

 defined by a fine line of the ground-colour ; beyond the macular band 

 is a broad whitish fascia from near the costa to the inner margin, bear- 

 ing an increasing series of six black spots, the spot in the submedian 

 interspace double. Hindwing has the spots of the discal band smaller 

 than in the male, diamond-shaped, well-separated, outwardly sharply
