IIIIOPALQCERA MALAY ANA.

of spots mure continuous and amalgamated, but not diluted into a distinct patch at apex. Wings beneath 

 paler and with the pale central fascia very bread and occupying the whole disk of both wings ; on posterior 

 wings this fascia is almost straight outwardly, and i\M concavf from eosta to first median nervule as in 

 C. kebc and C. moori.

Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Province Wellesley (Dist. — coll. Bufcl.) ; Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. Mas.— coll. 

 Dist.) — Borneo (Druce). 



This species appears to be moderately rare in Province Wellesley ; one specimen which 

 I captured myself, and which is now in the possession of Mr. Butler, being the only example 

 I have seen from that locality. It is, however, not uncommon in Malacca.

Male, Wings above reddish oelirmvnu.s. Anterior wings with two small contiguous black spots at 

 upper end of uell ; apex and outer margin broadly black ; this black area has its inner margin sinuous 

 and eraargmate, it is broadest inwardly and most augulated beyond cell, and commences to diminish 

 in width heueath the lower diseoidal nervule, till it narrowly terminates at posterior angle. Posterior 

 wings with a aubmarginal row of black spots placed between the nervules (two at anal angle more or less 

 suffused with grey) and with a black apical patch. Win^s beneath pale easfcancous with steely reflections. 

 Anterior wings with the basul half crossed by four waved black linen; commencing near the subcostal 

 ne rv ure t the two inner ones crossing cell about centre* and continued on posterior wings, terminating near 

 base of internal uervure; the third commencing a little before, and the fourth some distance beyond 

 end of cell (where there is a terminal black line and a lim-ar ovate black marginal spot), betwuen which the 

 colour is distinctly darker, and continued and terminating on posterior wings at internal nervine i,h< t\\v« n 

 those on posterior wings is a curved terminal line to cell) ; these are followed by a discal and much-waved line 

 of the same colour, followed on posterior wings by an oblique bluish black fascia, which becomes almost 

 fused with the termination of the discal liue near anal angle, where there is a large blackish spot ; 

 anterior wings with an apical greyish spot and an indistinctly dentate suhmarginal greyish fascia inwardly 

 preceded by a few more or less distinct dark spots ; posterior wings with a suhmarginal row of bluish spots 

 placed between the nervules and preceded by transverse greyish streaks (two of these spots at anal angle). 

 Body more or less concolorous with wings ; posterior and intermediate femora thickly spotted with black 

 Exp. wings, 6* 00 millim.* 



Hab. — Tenasserim ; near Meetan, Moolai (iloore). — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley (coll, 

 Saiior). — Borneo (colls. Diet., Godra. Jfc Salv., and Brit. Mus,). 



A single male specimen captured by Mr. Saiier in Province Wellesley, and which is here 

 figured t is the only example I have seen from that locality. It is, however, recorded by 



Moore from Tenasserim, a locality from which that entomologist has described a closely 

 allied form under the name of C. agnarf between which and typical Bornean examples 

 of C, harpax the form here figured is intermediate. Consequently we must allow for variation 

 in these tawny Viuiraxcs, where no distinct local race has In come differentiated.
