Lepidoptera from the Andaman Islands, Sfc.

pletely run together so that only the inner portions of the outlines of the 

 innermost series of the coalesced spots are in either case still discernihle, 

 and so as to form a very broad outer border of bliick to each of the wings. 



Anterior wings broader and shorter, being less than twice as long, as 

 broad, the extreme length of the cell bearing the same relation to the sub- 

 median vein and to the less deeply emarginate outer margin ; with the 

 spot at the base of the second cell smaller and free of the veins, as also is 

 the discoidal cellular spot at its posterior extremity ; the curved club-shaped 

 mark in the 3rd inner marginal cell much as in H. agamarscliana, but not 

 connected by a black streak with the snbcoalescent marginal spot beyond 

 it ; the outer black border with a clouded white spot in the second cell 

 more or less distinctly separating the second discal black spot off from the 

 band ; and the black second inner marginal, or sutural, cell longitudinally 

 streaked with clouded white. 



Posterior wings broader, with their undulated outer margin still more 

 broadly rounded ; the spot in the discoidal cell smaller and the spots around 

 it also rather smaller and free of the black outer border though exhibiting 

 a tendency to coalesce with it in front of the second median veinlet. 



Wings below of a less pure white than above, marked and veined 

 with fuscous. 



Thorax more conspicuously marked with greyish-white than in S. 

 cadelli, in which these marks are almost effaced, but this character, as also 

 the difference in the proportions, and the less obvious emargination of the 

 outer margin, of the wings, may be sexual. 



Lengtli of anterior wing 2 '54 ; extreme length of its discoidal cell 

 1"35 ; expanse 5"18 inches. 



Hab. Bassein, Burmali. Two specimens agreeing in every respect 

 with one another.
