Two forms (probably seasonal varieties) occur in Malacca, the one with dark bands 
below, the other with pale bands ; in the female of the dark form the subapical yellowish 
patch on the upper surface of primaries is more distinct. I have seen three examples in 
Mr. Distant’s collection from Penang. It occurs in August and September. 
Genus Zeuxidia, Hiibner. 
1. Zeuxidia amethystus, Butler, P. Z. S. p. 485. n. 5 (1865). d ? , Malacca. The 
female differs from the male much in the same way as in the sexes of Z. doubledayi .

character of the upper surface.

This species differs from the male of T. aliris from Borneo in having the band of 
primaries above half the width, not notched, and yellower in tint ; the basal area of all 
the wings ferruginous. Below, the area beyond the band is not striated, and is of the 
same rusty red colour as the broad outer border, the latter is also paler at the edge, and 
is cut much shorter by the obliquity of the transverse band ; the basal spots are rusty 
red instead of red-brown and black ; the irregular band of secondaries is paler and much 
more constricted in the centre ; the external and discal areas are altogether paler and 
more uniform in tint ; the ocelli are considerably smaller and paler ; the spots between
