coll, and with the marginal and submarginal scries of spots to anterior wing somewhat more 
distinct. 
" Male and female. Head and thorax above black ; head and anterior portion of thorax spotted 
with white ; head beneath, sternum, and legs black : palpi, sternum, and immediate base of 
wings spotted with white ; abdomen dark fuscous, spotted beneath with bluish. 
" ICxpause J & $ 98 millira." (Distant, I. c.) 
I have two specimens ( d and ? ) from the Province of Kwei-Chow in 
Western China, and these differ from the specimens described above in 
number of bluish spots only, thus the male has two spots beyond cell on 
primaries, and there are seven in the submarginal series ; in the female the 
spots are larger, and there are three additional spots placed as follows : — one 
in discoidal cell, a small one below the lower of the two outside the cell, and 
one below the oblong spot. Both sexes have a series of marginal spots above 
anal angle of primaries, and three white spots on secondaries, the upper one 
near costa. 
This species has a wide distribution, as it is known to occur in the Malay 
Peninsula, Province Wellesley, Malacca, Sumatra, Java, and Western China, 
and will probably be found in Burma.

AfiBnities with Mycalesis, but the body is more robust ; the terminal joint of palpi shorter ; the 
antennse quite half the length of primaries. 
The primaries have the costa convex and are rather pointed at apex ; the outer margin is almost 
straight, and there is a distinct lobe on the inner margin of these wings in the male, as well 
as a patch of long dark brown hairs in the discoidal cell of secondaries. 
Under surface of primaries with a silky patch along inner margin.

Male. Ground-colour of all the wings blackish brown, with violet reflections. Primaries traversed 
by a broad lilac-blue fascia from the first subcostal nervule to the anal angle, its inner edge 
touching the discoidal cell. 
Female. Has the male colouring, but the violet reflections are more subdued. Lilac-blue fascia 
much narrower and more curved. All the wings with more rounded outer margins. 
Underside of both sexes chocolate. Outer margins of primaries broadly bluish grey, with a violet 
tinge, enclosing a row of five, sometimes six, small ocelli, beyond which is an angulated
