 from the upper median nervule to abdominal margin : beyond this fascia on both wings is another, obscure 

 and subobsolete : a pale ochraceoua patch on posterior wings at anal angle, with two black marginal spots 

 containing a few scattered bluish scales, situate one between the second and third median nervules, the 

 second at anal angle : * between these spots are some scattered bluish scales, the margin as above. 



The male is unknown to the writer, but is thus described by Felder ; —

3. Tajuria relata, n. sp, (Tab. XXI., fig. 12 ? .) 



Female. Allied to T* mantra, but differing in the following respects : — The wings beneath are dark 

 greyish, and nol br^wniiah-oclu'ai-eoiis us in FehWs k pedes, and tin- narrow fusemiK hu I -tjim r<jitui 1 fa.sr.-ui is

TIab. — Malay Peninsula ; Province "Wellesley (colh Dist.). 



Although I only possess a single female specimen of this species, it is still, though 

 closely allied to T* mantra, so very distinct in many important characters, as to necessitate 

 its description as a new species.
