 anterior wings. Body and legs more or leas coned or cms with wings. 



Female, Wings above as in male, with the pale area better defined and inwardly but narrowly 

 margined with blackish ; beneath with the central fascist* paler.

The female of this species appears to have been described by Mr. Moore under the name 

 of C. ravana, but having received both sexes from Java, Borneo, and the Malay Peninsula, 

 I feel no doubt as io its sexual relation to 6\ bajadeta,

 Cirrochroa bajadeta, Moore, uar. ? 



Male and Female. Resembling the corresponding sexes of C\ bajadeta, but with the pale violaceous 

 fascia crossing the under surface of the posterior wings entire and not attenuated at the subcostal and 

 discoidal nervuiea as in that species ; the under surface of both wings is also generally rather darker and 

 more violaceous than in (7. hajntUi/i.

The figure of the male which is here given represents a specimen taken by Capt. Pinwill 

 in Malacca, and now contained in the British Museum, being a somewhat pale form of the 

 species. Both Mr. Butler \ and Mr. Kir by J incline to the opinion that the C* malaija, FekL, 

 is more or less Bynonyinous with the preceding species, and the reasons why I have differed 

 from these authorities and identified it with C Johannes are contained in Folder's diagnosis. 

 Thus the description of the under surface of the wings as " lilacino sumisia," and the pale 

 fascia to the posterior wings as " angusta recta," thoroughly applies to the species tigured and 

 described by Mr. Butler, and the last character especially, in contradiction to the suddenly or 

 attenuated fascia in the other species. Fekler naturally compared it to 0. bajadeta, C\ johamm 

 not Laving been then described, and the fact of his having thus compared it would naturally 

 lead to the supposition that he must have been cognisant of Mr. Moore's species. 



I am inclined, however, to the view that specimens will be obtained of a completely 

 intermediate character between C, bajadeta and C\ mala y a.
