L Neorina lowii, var. (Tab. XXXYIL, fig. 3.) 



Gyito Uujii, Doubledaj & Hewitson, Gen. Diara. Lap. p. S69, t. 61, f. 4 (1851)- 

 Xeorina Lowii, Bull. Cat. Satyr. Brit. Hus. p. Ill, n. a (1868) ; Bruce, Proc. Zool. Soc* 1878, p. 8S9, n. 1 ; 

 Kheil, Ehop, tier Ins. Nias, p, 19. n, 23 (1884). 



Male and Female. Wings above dark fuscous*brown ; anterior wings with the onter margin paler 

 and traversed by a dark submargina] line, and with a large ocellated spot near apex, a submarginal Beries of 

 four small whitish spots,— five if the centre of the oceHated spot is counted, — an apical white marginal spot, 

 and a very pale stramineous patch on inner margin near outer angle ; posterior wings with a large and very 

 pale stramineous patch at apex, which extends inwardly to near upper median nervule, an ocellated spot 

 between the second and third median nervulos, and often a small white spot between the first and second 

 median nervules, — not present on the specimen figured, — two dark submarginal lines, and fringe greyish- 

 white. Wings beneath as above, but somewhat paler ; anterior wings with the area beyond the spots more or 

 less violaceous, and with two dark submarginal lines ; posterior wings a3 above, but with an ocellated spot 

 between the subcostal nervules and the pale stramineous patch above, smaller, paler and broken beneath, 

 the abdominal and anal -angular areas more or less dusted with greyish t and with a aublunate greyish spot 

 at anat angle. Body and legs more or lees concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, # & 2 , 98 to 102 millim. 



Hae. — Malay Peninsula; Perak {Kunatler — colls. Semper & Gale* Mus.), — Nias Island (Kheil). — 

 Sumatra (Forbes— coll. Dist.). — Borneo (Druce) ; Sandakan {Pryer — coll. Dist.). 



Malay (and also Sum at ran) specimens of this species slightly vary from Bomean examples 

 by having the apical pale patch on the under surface of the posterior wings more or less 

 broken, but whoever studies the fauna of the Malay Peninsula together with that of Sumatra 

 and Borneo will find much specific variation of this character. 



Genus MYCALESIS (antm, p, 47). 



2. Mycalesis orsets {antca, p. 49). 



Since writiug the description of the above, when a single specimen in the Hewitsonian 

 collection from Singapore was the only record of the species from the Malay Peninsula, 

 I have received several specimens t and the following locality can be added : — 



Sungd Ujong (Dnrnford — coll. Dist.). 

 8. Mycalesis anaxias. (Tab. XXXVI., fig. 7.) 



Mtjcalesis anaxias, Hewitson, Ex. Butt. iii. Myc. L 4, f, 25, 26 (1862) ; Butl. Cat. Satyr. Brit. Mus. p. 141, 

 n, 59 (1868); Moore, Proc. Zed. Sec. 1878, p. 825; Marah. & de Nic, Butt. Ind., Burm. & Ceyl, 

 vol. i. p. 106, n. 86, t. xvi. f. 54 (1882). 



Virttpa aiuixiaa, Moore, Trans. EnL Soc. 18B0, p. 156. 



The following is Mr. Hewitson *s original description of this species : — 



" Uppers id e.— Mule brown ; anterior wing crossed near the apes by an oblique band of white." 



" Underside dark brown from the base to beyond the middle (its border on the anterior wing angular), 

 followed by a broad margin clouded with lilac and grey, and rufous-brown ; traversed by three lines of dark 

 brown ; the cilia lilac ; anterior wing with the white band as above, and three small ocelli, two above, one 

 below the band; posterior wings with five ocelli;* all black, with white pupils, the iris rufous, and 

 indistinct." 



* Sometimes so von as in specimen figure d.
