The figure here given is taken from the Malaccan specimen contained in the British 

 Museum, and referred to as above by Mr. Butler* I have since examined this specimen, and 

 find it is considerably mutilated, and that it should in a perfect condition possess two 

 tail-like appendages to the posterior wings. It thus evidently belongs to the genus Tajuria, 

 but I have thought it better to merely refer to the figure on this occasion, and to endeavour 

 to obtain perfect specimens to allow of a proper description in the subsequent appendix to 

 this volume.
