the third spot being smallest, the sixth situate between tbe third median nervnle and the submedian 

 nervure is doubly angulated outwardly and irregularly truncate inwardly; these are followed by an 

 elongate spot nv stivrtk mi inner innr^m. and art- all more or less suffused with brownish and outwardly 

 followed by five small violaceous and inwardly pointed spots, the nervules surrounding which are distinctly 

 infuBcated to margin. Posterior wings with the cell crossed by two black lines near base and two near 

 apex, the last being followed by a small blnH; streak on each side of second median nervule ; a transverse 

 series of seven spots on apical half of wing smaller and more regular, but margined and inwardly rounded 

 and outwardly tubulated us on anterior wing, — of these spots the upper three are greyish ;md outwardly 

 margined with violaceous, the remainder being concolorous with wing; abdominal margin much paler and 

 somewhat pinky. Wings beneath pale and violaceous. Anterior wings with the basal half ochraceous, 

 with the dark linear markings generally as above, the large transverse spots on apical half as above, but 

 more fused, and the pale colour extending to outer margin. Posterior wings with the cellular and adjacent 

 markings as above ; a curved black line above and near base of subcostal nervure, and an oblique series of 

 three small black spots separated by the subcostal nervules a little beyond cell ; the transverse spots on 

 upper side only indicated by their black terminal margins, which form two transverse series of spots, 

 between which the colour is tinged with ochraceous. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. Wings above generally resembling those of male. Wings beneath pale ochraceous ; anterior 

 wings with the greyish spots as above, but clearer and with the pale colour extending beyond their outer 

 margins ; posterior wings marked as above, but paler and with an additional series of three looped dark 

 lines placed near cell and divided by the subcostal nervules, and three small spots beneath the median 

 nervure, divided by the Becond and third median nervules.

Female, Closely allied to the typical form of T. pulasara, but differing in having the transverse 

 series of greyish spots on anterior wings more slender and elongated, the fourth and fifth being much 

 longer than the corresponding Bpots in Moore's species, the outer dentate margins are also longer and 

 more acute ; the transverse spots on posterior wings are more Linear and elongate, particularly the two 

 which are divided by the sei ond median nervule. and their outer dentate margins are also longer and more 

 acute. These characters also apply to the under surface of the wings,

Had.— Malay Peninsula; Malacca (coll. Gosse). Borneo (VolL) 



This Bpecies appears to be almost confiued to the Malay Peninsula; both the typical 

 male and female specimens here figured being from Singapore, whilst the variety (7\ imlrm) was 

 collected in Malacca, Of the last Mr. Butler, t from a knowledge derived from Voltenhoven's 

 figure alone, remarked, 44 this is only the Bonietm form of Moore's pulasara" a statement 

 which this Malnccan spenim'ii considerably qualities.^
