RHOPALOCERA MALA YA1 



very prominent and dark fascia? on disk, and a narrower and paler one near base of both wings. Body and 

 legs more or less concolorous with wings. 

 Exp. wings, £ & 2 55 to GO millim. 



Hab.— Continental India; North-Eastern rrovinees (coll. Dist.)— Malay Peninsula j Penang (coll. 

 Moore) ; Province Wellesley (colls, DisL & Saiier) ; Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. Mus.) 



This species is easily distinguishable from the last by the much less angulation of the 

 anterior wings, the different and zigzag markings, ami its gnu-rally larger size. 



According to the specimens now before me, the siibapical white spot to tlie anterior wings 

 is more prominent in the female than in the male sex. 



Ergolis isaeus. 



Eryolti I*au& t Wallace, Trans. Ent, Soc. 18G9, p. 383, u. 4. 



As I do not know this insect, I can merely give Mr. Wallace's description : — 



" Outline of wings nearly even, with an angular lobe on the upper wings, waved strife somewhat as in 

 E* Coryta,* but disposed in pairs, no white spot near the apex ; on the hind wings a series of distinct 

 snblunuhite ring markings, each enclosing an obscure reddish spot. Beneath, upper wings dusky, the disc 

 reddish brown, the borders pale, a duBky streak parallel to the outer margin ; lower wings pale brown, the 

 markings as above, but the lunulate ring spots smaller, the outer border ashy brown." 



"The female is like the male, but paler, especially beneath. ' 



" Size of E. Coryta,: 1 



"Hab— Malay Peninsula; 'Singapore/ — 'Sumatra' (coll. Wall., type)." 



"This species has probably been confounded with & Con/ta, from which the even outline of the 

 wings and the absence of the white spots at once distinguish it." 



Genus CYKESTIS. 



Ctjrtsti* t Boisduval, Voj\ Astrol. Lep, p. 117 (1H32); Weshv. Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 260 \1BG0). 



Wings pale and delicate ; anterior wings subtriangular, the costal margin strongly arched, the outer 

 margin irregular, waved, sinuated, or slightly convex ; inner margin slightly rounded, convex at base, and 

 slightly concave beyond the middle. Costal nervure extending to about the middle of the costal margin . 

 first and second subcostal nervnles emitted before the end of cull ^the second being very near ita extremity), 

 second much longer than first ; third emitted about two-thirds beyond end of cell ; fourth and fifth widely 

 divergent, and bifurcating about midway between base of the third and apex. Lower disco-e ell ular nervule 

 very slender, suberect, slightly curved inwardly, and indistinctly closing cell, which thus forme a triangle. 

 Flr.it median nervule strongly arched, and with an apparently common origin with the second* Posterior 

 wings elongated, sometimes somewhat hexagonal ; the costal margin nearly straight, becoming rounded 

 and convex towards apical angle, or as in typical species eoncavely emarginate at that spot ; outer margin 

 more or less sinuated to extremity of first median nervule, where it is narrowly prolonged in caudate 

 elongation ; from thence to anal angle it is somewhat truncate, the anal angle being spatnlately produced ; 

 the abdominal margin more or less eoncavely emarginate before the anal angle. PrecostaJ nervure slender, 

 curved outwardly; costal nervure obliquely erect at base, and then extending to near apex ; lower disco- 

 cellular nervule aborted, in some specimens very faintly visible. Body small and slender. Antenna? 

 very slender, terminated by an elongated and gradually formed slender club. Palpi long and strongly 

 porrected.
