Poslerior wings dark fuscous, with tlie following pa1« bluish markings: — a large basal subcostal streak, 

 followed by a small elongate spot; the interior of discoidal cell followed and upically surrounded by five 

 elongate spots situated hetween the nervules, of which the two interior are each followed by a pnuilb-r and 

 rounded spot ; four long, basal, longitudinal streaks, two situated before median nervure and connected 

 at base, and two on abdominal margin; two or three subdiseal spots, situated between the nemires near 

 apex, and a submarginal series of small spots, which are obsolete and obliterated near apes and anal angle. 

 Win^s lumeuth g>-)n Tally as above, but with the submsngintd spots continuous ami distinct, and the 

 subdiscal series of three spots, as seen above, continued in regular but smaller series to near anal angle. 

 Head and thorax above dark fuscous, spotted and streaked with bluish white ; abdomen fuscous above,, 

 testaceous beneath ; sternum black, spotted with while; undersides of palpi, femora, and trochanters white- 

 Male with two linear scent-glands on posterior wings, the longest situated on snbmediau nervure near 

 apex, the smaller one near apex of internal nervure. 

 Exp. wings 7i> to 99 millim.

This species Yarias much in amount of melamwin, and also in the Him of the pate markings ; 

 some males have also the apex of the anterior wings more produced than in other specimens of 

 the same sex, thus further illustrating the little specific value of such characters, About six 

 species with similar structural characters and common fades are allied to this species, as 

 pointed out to me by my friend Mr. Moo re T who has specially studied the Danainw, These 

 form a group which are represented in Continental India, Java, PhiLlipine Islands, and Japan.

Male and female. Wings dark fuscous, with pale bluish semihyaline spots and markings. Anterior 

 wings above dark fuscouB, with the following pale bluish markings : — a basal longitudinal streak, situated 

 hetween costal and subcostal nervures, followed by three subcostal spots, the firBt dtunted immediately 

 after first subcostal nervule, beneath which are two short linear streaks, divided by upper discoidal 

 nervule ; nine irregularly shaped distal spots situated two above and three beneath first median nervule, 

 three beneath second median nervule, and one near posterior angle a little beyond two narrow fascia?, 

 joined at base, the first running parallel to median nervure, and then deflexed Hubpaiallel to third median 

 nervule, the other running subparallel to subroedian nervure ; a narrow fascia commencing at base and 

 extending along about half the length of submedian nervure ; two long diseal streaks in discoidal cell, the 

 upper one Btraigbt and divided, the lower more or less recurved; a submarginal row of seven irregular 

 spots, and a marginal row of wry small spots placed in pairs between the nervules, becoming obsolete 

 and obliterated towards apex. Posterior wings above dark fuscous, with the following pale bluish 

 markings a long basal streak between coslal and si 1 1 ►costal nervures, followed by a smalt elongate spot ; 

 two fascial in cell, united at base, and from thence running subparallel to subcostal and median nervures, 

 between apex of each is a short intermediate streak ; following and surrounding apex of cell are five irregular
