I have, since figuring a small Malaccan male belonging to the collection of Mr. Moore, 

 received a fine series of this species, which proves (as could he reasonably expected) that the 

 species is subject to considerable variation both in size and in the distinctness of the markings 

 on the under surface of the wings. It also appears to be a very abundant Lyesenid in the 

 Malay Peninsula.

I have not received this species from our region, and only know it by the female specimen 

 in the British Museum, which was captured by Capt PmwiLl in Penang, The figure here 

 given is taken from that specimen, and I add Mr, Moore's original description: — 



" Upper aide purple -brown. Cutlers ide greyish brown, exterior margins defined by a brown line : fore 

 wing with a spot within discoid al cell, a disco-cellular streak, a spot above it, and a transverse discal series 

 of sis spots black, each encircled with white; a marginal and submarginal row of pale brown, white- 

 bordered lunules ; hind wing with a series of twelve black spots, and a pale disco-cellular streak, encircled 

 with white ; a marginal row of pale brown, whitish encircled spots, and a submarginal row of whitish 

 lunules : cilia greyish brown."
