sides, from the costa to the upper median, continued irregularly almost 

 to the lower median ; margin, except at the apex, dark, a marginal 

 blackish line. Hindiving very deep chocolate brown, a paler, violet- 

 glossed band, edged by a paler line, across it from the costa to the sub- 

 median vein, crossing the cell ; beyond this a dark transverse band ; 

 apex with a large dark area, its margin violet-whitish ; disc mostly 

 glossed with violet, its lower part irrorated with violet- whitish scales ; 

 a dark submarginal fascia, rather wide and conspicuous subanally ; an 

 obscure metallic-green and black ocellus in the lower median space, 

 and one on the lobe, the green extending to the submedian vein. The 

 forewing is rounded outwardly, the hindwing slightly scalloped, with 

 a distinct lobe and a very short tail at the end of the lower median vein. 

 Expanse 1^ inch. In its small size and short tail it diSors from the 

 other species of the group. Two males, Mergui.

Mergui, Myitta. The female agrees well with Hewitson's figure, 

 except that the transverse disoal lino of the forewing below is more 

 irregular, and like that of his figure of Surendra vivarna. The male 

 differs from Distant's figure in being more angulate, the forewing being 

 acuminate and slightly falcate. The blue area above varies greatly, 

 sometimes occupying less than a third of the forewing and a sixth of 

 the hindwing, sometimes more thau half of the forewing and a third of 

 the hindwing. In this species the male has a short tail at the end of 

 the lower median vein, but scarcely more than an angle at the end of the 

 middle median ; the lobe is much smaller than in S. quercetorum. The 

 female has two tails, both slender, the outer the shorter.

 Male, above, rich purple-blue, from the costal vein to the liiud 



margin, the blue area outwardly angled at the upper median vein, and 

 occnpying nearly half of the forewing. On the hindwing it extends 

 from just below the lower subcostal to the submedian vein, leaving the 

 upper part of the cell dark ; a narrow black marginal line. Below the 

 ground is light fuscous brown as in amisena, but with the cell and diso 

 of the forewing much darker and the basal and apical half of the hind- 

 wing deep violet brown. Forewing with a short oblique dark streak in 

 the middle of the cell, a larger one across its end, and one or two costal 

 ones ; a transverse discal line of joined Innules ^separated in amisena) 

 from the second subcostal to below the lower median, pi-ojecting out- 

 wardly below the lower radial vein ; apex widely and outer margin 

 narrowly pale fuscous. Hindiving with the transverse discal fascia con-
