Myrina hiemalis, Godmaa & Salvia, Proc. Zool. Soo. 1878, p. 040, L JO, f. 5, 6. 



Female. Wings above pearly white; anterior wings with the outer margin and a large curved 

 apical apace terminating on costal margin at about one-third from base, black : posterior wings with the 

 posterior margin from apex to median nervules (where it becomes obsolete^ black; an elongate black 

 * marginal Bpot on each side of second median nervule ; tail-like appendages with a faint and slender 

 central blackish line. Wings beneath pearly white, with four transverse dark greyish fasciaa with still 

 darker margins, the first two crossing cell and terminating at median nervure, third and fourth wider and 

 more irregular, situate between end of cell and outer margin and terminating near the third median 

 nervule, marginal and submarginal dark greyish fasciie, the colour between which is also dark greyish ; 

 posterior wings crossed by five irregular dark greyish macular fasciae ; the first near base consisting of five 

 spots and terminating near base of abdominal margin, the second composed of three elongate spots, of 

 which the lowermost two are joined and terminate between the third median nervule and submedian 

 nervure, the third consists of four spots commencing beneath the lower subcostal nervule and recurved and 

 terminating on abdominal margin, the fourth composed of six fused spots extending in an almost straight 

 line from costal margin to third median nervule, and the fifth submarginal, recurved and extending to 

 abdominal margin ; a marginal dark greyish fascia extending from apex to upper midian nervule, followed 

 by an elongate black marginal spot, a dark bluish spot between second and third median nervules, two 

 small bluish spots between that nervule and submedian nervure, and a large bluish spot shaded with black 

 at anal angle, above which the submarginal fascia is also tinged with bluish ; tail-like appendages as above ; 

 body above pale greenish, beneath with legs more or lesB concolm-ims with wings. 



Male, This sex, as figured by Godnaan and Salvin, and described in error as a female, differs from 

 that sex in having the apical area of the upper surface of the anterior wings bluish, the outer margin 

 being only black; the posterior margin of the hind wings is also only slightly marked with blackish; 

 wings beneath as in female.

Hab. — Burma; Meetan (Hume— coll. Godin. & Salv.).— -Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinstler — coll. 

 Semper). 



I am much indebted to Herr Georg Semper, of AAtona, for the loan of this female Perak 

 specimen, which is the only example of the species-^-as far as I am aware — yet received from 

 the Malay Peninsula.

Anterior wings subtriangular, the apex subacute ; costal margin arched and convex ; outer margin 

 nearly straight, very Blifibtly concave; inner margin nearly straight, very slightly concavely sinuate. 

 Costal nervure Bhort, terminating on costa before the end of cell ; first subcostal nervule emitted near 

 middle of cell and terminating on costa a little beyond end of cell, second about midway between bases of 

 first and third, the last of which is emitted a little before end of cell, third and fourth bifurcating at about 

 two-thirds the length of third ; first median nervule curved and emitted from end of cell, second and third 

 straight and nearly twice the distance apart as second is from first. Posterior wings elongately and 

 irregularly subtriangular, the costal margin convex, the posterior margin oblique, abdominal margin
