From an examination of a aeries of specimens, collected in the Malay Peninsula, much 

 macular variation is apparent, and it is probable that the constancy of these characters have 

 been much over-estimated in discriminating species of ffrupkea. In the male specimen here 

 figured from Malacca (Tab. IV, , fig. '2) the marginal and submarginal spots are much obliterated 

 on the upper surface of the wings* In some male specimens, however, from Province Wellesley 

 these spots are as prominent and distinct above as in the female figured (Tab. II., fig. 6).

Male. Anterior wings with about basal four-fifths of area deep violaceous, froiu thence to outer margin 

 ferruginous ; a sniall bluish spot near costa, between first and second subcostal nervules, and one in and 

 near end of cell ; indications of a marginal but obsolete series of small spots, denoted by one or two near 

 anal angle and sometimes two pale subniarginal obscure spots, situate on each side of second diseoidal 

 uervule. Posterior wings ferruginous, with a marginal and submarginal series of white spots, and a pule 

 discoida) patch near costal base, which is almost bidden by the inner margin of the anterior wings. 

 Wings beneath pale ferruginous. Anterior wings with the following pale bluish spots and markings : — 

 a small spot between iirst and second subcostal nervules, and a larger one before end of cell (as above) ; 

 beneath the last is a similar spot between the iirst and second median uervules, and a long subovate 

 streak betweeu second and third median uervulcs; a much obliterated marginal :iml subniarginal series of 

 very small spots. Posterior wings marked as above, with the addition of a discal series of six small spots, 

 one in and near end of cell, and five surrounding apieal portion of eell, divided by the uervules. Head and 

 thorax above black; anterior portion of thorax and head spotted with white; abdomen dark fuscous,
