the nervules and a marginal row of much larger subcorneal spots of the same colour placed upon and 

 divided by the nervules ; this bluish area is sinuated interiorly, and becomes Blinded with greenish and 

 violaceous at and near anal angle ; apical portion of abdominal margin thickly clothed with loug pale 

 ochraceous hairs. Wings beneath very warm and dark ochraceous. Anterior wings with a small and very 

 pale bluish subapical spot situate beneath the bifurcation of the fourth and fifth subcostal nervules, 

 a cluster of irregular pale spots in cell and a long and irregularly curved one at the termination 

 of the same, which is followed by two very indistinct spots placed one on each side of the upper 

 discoidal nervule ; two pale diseal spots on each side of the second median nervule, and one beneath 

 the third median nervule; inner margin ami mm uf t.\w miter an^le broadly suffused with fuscous, 

 tho last with two bluish spots placed one on each side of the third median nervule; above 

 these are a subobsolete and submarginal series of pale spots placed between the nervules. Posterior 

 wings with two pale spots in cell, a curved diseal series of six or seven pale spots placed between 

 the nervules, and a submarginal series of small fuscous spots placed between the nervules, with their 

 surrounding areas somewhat pale. Body and legs more or less ttraoolorous with wings; antennae 

 black, their apices warm ochraceous. 



Female. Wings above chocolate-brown, with the marginal fringe altcriuttr-ly couenlnnms and 

 pale greyish, and with the following yellowish spots : — anterior wings with three spots in cell, two at its 

 termination, followed by two placed one on each side of the upper discoidal nervule ; an oblique diseal 

 series of seven spots placed between the nervules, two beneath cell, situate one on each side of second 

 median nervule, a cluster of five irregular spots near base and between third median nervule and sub- 

 median nervnre, and an outer submarginal series, placed between the nervules, increasing in size towards 

 outer angle; a small yellowish streak on inner margin near its apex. Posterior wings with the following 

 yellowish spots: — three beneath costal lR-rvure, thive between first and second subcostal nervules, Four 

 between lower subcostal and discoidal nervules, three in cell {the tirst being only a email basal streak), three 

 beyond cell before tbr first median newule. two beneath cell placed one on each side of second median 

 nervule and two on basal half of abdominal margin ; and three large spots — denoted by pale bluish 

 margins with anterior aud posterior yellowish spots — near anal angle divided by the second and third 

 niediau nervules. Anterior winjrs liHirntli gn-.-nisb oehraceous, darker and sntnewbal bluish at area 

 of median nervules, marked generally as above, but spots larger and pale bluish grey, those in and at 

 termination of ret! fused and the cluster of spots beneath base of cell obsolete. Posterior wings beneath 

 pale greenish, the basal half more or less suffused with ochraceous ; spots as above, but much paler. 

 Body above chocolate -brown, with the following yellowish spots: — six thoracic (two anterior, two central, 

 and two posterior), and four at base of abdomen ; a narrow lateral streak on each central side of thorax, 

 and a small spot at extreme base of wings ; body beneath and legs more or less concoloroue with wings.

This Bpecies attains its maximum size in the Malay Peninsula ; at least such is the 

 evidence of a long series now before me. The species varies considerably in Borneo, where 

 male specimens occur agreeing with the one here figured from Province Wellesley, while smaller 

 ones are found which have the marginal spots to the posterior wings larger, t
