with a broad central yellowish band ; a small round yellowish spot near the apex i a patch of black at 

 extremity of discoidal-cell, and narrow zigzag line bordering the black band : hind wing with the central 

 npper portion of disc yellowish ; submarginal row of spots clearly defined, and all centred with clear white- 

 Under-side more variegated than the male, and much paler. Tails two, short in the male ; both long in 

 the female." 



Exp. wings, ^ , <f 3} inches"; ? , !-' rather more than 8 inches," 



Had.— Continental India ; "N.India" (Buckley — Moore). — Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinstl. — coll. 

 Anderson), — Java (coll, Horsf.)* — Borneo (Brit. Hue.)- 



This species is allied to C, harpaz, from which, however, it is easily distinguishable. The 

 Perak specimen here figured is in the collection made by Kunstler for Br. J. Anderson, aud 

 is, I believe, destined for the Calcutta Museum*

I only know this species by a coloured drawing which Herr Honrath kindly sent me, and 

 which is here reproduced. It is therefore better to give the original description : — 



** Grundfarbe gelbbraun ; dei breite Binde am Aussenrande der Vordcrflugel rothbraun, in ahnlicher 

 Weise verlaufend, wie die mehr schwarzliche bei Marmax Wstw., worau Distunti am meiaten erinnert." 



" Die Hmterfliigel baben am Aussenrande erne s dim ale braune Einfa&sung die bei Marmax feblt. 

 Die dem Aus&enrande parallel laufenden augenartigen Flee ken shad sell wiic her and namentheh in den 

 vordcrii zellen lange nicht so entwickelt wie bei Marmax. Bei einen Stuck von Sarawak, woher Dr. 

 Staudinger 2 £ $ von Dr. Platen erhielfc, Bind diese Flecken fast nur noch angedeutet." 



" Die ebenfalls gelbbraune, aber mattere Unterseite zeigt einen auffallenden Unterscheid darin, dass 

 der Vorderrand der Vorderflugel von der Basis bis znm Schlusse der Discoidalzelle hellweiss gefarbt, ist. 

 Ausserdem verliiuft zwischen Discoidalzelle and Baum der Hiutermigel vou der ftpitze bis zutn Analwinkel 

 eine dunkeletahlblau echillernde, geradlinige Binde, welehe bei Mnrmnx sich ala echwaelio und well en* 

 fdrmige und durchaus nicht gerade zeigt.*' 



" Die Oberschenkei der Mittelbeine sind ebenso wie die der Hinterbeine bei Distant i weiss bestiiubt, 

 wiihrend sie bei Marmaj; mehr brannlich sind."

Genus PBOTHOE (cmtta, p. 110), 

 Several distinct races or species have generally been confounded under the name of the 

 Javan species 1\ franckik + which is distinguished by having a broad white band intersecting 

 the oblique bluish fascia on the anterior wings. Mr. Butler has recently separated these local 

 forms or species, of which two occur in the Malay Peninsula, and I have thought it best to 

 give here his own differential diagnoses.
