apes of coll anil terminating u little beyond sabmeilian nervure ; the outer marginal line ia preceded at apex 

 of cell with an inner marginal line, Riving the appearance of a lower disco -cellular nernile ; two submarginal 

 waved dark lines and a narrow marginal one of the same colour ; eight pale, rounded, and more or less 

 OCeU&ted disco] spots, the first ami snrmul lur^est, contiguous, nud subdivided by the tirst subcostal nervule, 

 fourth and fifth divided by the first median nervule, smaller than third, which is situate above discoidal 

 nervule, sixth large and placed between second and third median uervules, seventh and eighth small and 

 together situate between third median nervule and Hubmedian nerrurc ; an obscure, narrow, dark fascia 

 extends from the inner side of the two upper spots to near the fifth or sixth spots. Body and legs more or 

 less concolorous with wings. 



The male possesses a long tuft of fine hairs on the abdominal margin of the posterior wings, 

 a little before the apex of abdomen. 



Exp. wings, 6* 6fi to 7*2 millim. 



Hab. — TenaBserim; ifoolai, 8000—6000 ft. (Limborg, coll. Moore). — Malay Peninsula; Malacca 

 (Pinwill, Brit, Mus.) — Sumatra (Forbes, coll. Dist) — Java (coll. Dist.) — Borneo {coll. Hewits.)* 



The female of this species is contained in the British Museum, and resembles the 

 male sex. 



Group NYMPHALINA. 



Palpi broad, the anterior margin more or less dilated. 

 Larvfe variable in form. 



This group represents the snbfam. NfmphaMna of many authors, and 

 the reasons for this proposed arrangement have already been submitted 

 when discussing the group Morphhm 9 though it may bo added that some 

 Fw.25.— Head. Moving recent authors, as Moore* and Snellen, incorporate the two groups 

 pnipi .tytita <fnut«. to g etaeri With some authorities, also, the subfam, Acrceim is systematically 

 arranged between the two groups. Of the Acrauute no example bus at the present time been 

 either received from the Malay Peninsula, or recorded from that region; but as a series is 

 found in Ceylon, and more particularly as another has been lately sent home by Mr. Forbes 

 from Sumatra, it is quite possible that the Ac retina will still prove to be represented in this 

 faunn. 



Amongst, the Xymphniiua there are probably several genera which remain to be discovered 

 in the Malay Peninsula, but which are still absent from our lists and collections. Tims at the 

 present time we have received no so-called *' leaf- butterfly " belonging to the genus KalUma* 

 As this well-known genus is found in Continental India, Ceylon, Andaman Islands, Burma, 

 Tenasserim, Sumatra, and Java, it seems hardly reasonable to conclude that it is absent in 

 what may be considered as the inli-i veiling district of the Malay Peninsula, as here launisticaUy 

 understood. It seems difficult aJeo to believe that no species of Ileroua inhabits the Peninsula,! 

 as that genus is represented in Continental India, Andaman Islands, Tenaseerim, and 

 Sumatra, Of other Oriental genera not at present included in this fauna may be mentioned 



* Lop. Ceylon* 



1 Tin n- run be little doubt that when crtlleetimifi are made in the liitfljliLiids of the interior and in the Native States 

 many fqujcU's will bo nUiUil to thin already rich lUiopaloottoitt fauna.
