E. victrix. Black, apex of abdomen, with the exception of the claspers of the <$, and the hair of the 
coxae and femora of the fore legs deep orange. Wings blue-black; forewing striped with blue distally, with 
a yellowish white antemedian band and often 2—4 smaller discal spots of the same colour; hindwing with a 
blue or violet band before the margin, otherwise without markings above. Nord-West and North India, Burma, 
Yunnan, Tonkin; occurs throughout the summer and is not rare in Assam. — orientalis Bull. The 4 discal orientalis. 
spots of the forewing are close together, the blue band of the hindwing very narrow. Nord-West India: Moos- 
soorie and Garwhal. — victrix Westiv. (1 d). The discal spots are absent or are separated into two groups; band victrix. 
of hindwing broad. In f. punctigera form. nov. the discal spots present, there being 3, 2 or 1; the $ often punctigera 
bears a small streak in front of the first spot. f. victrix Westiv. (= tyrianthina Bull.) has no discal spots and 
the antemedian band is interrupted and sometimes separated into three small spots. In f. silhetensis But}., silhetensis. 
which is also devoid of discal spots, the band is not interrupted, but often constricted at the median vein. The 
specimens with discal spots on the forewing frecpiently have on the underside of the hindwing some ill-defined 
orange discal patches and, in front of the middle of the cell, a white spot, which is occasionally also present 
in f. victrix and silhetensis. These markings are obviously remnants: f. limma form. nov. The orange at the limnut. 
apex of the abdomen varies independantly of the wing-markings, only the last segment is yellow, or, in addi¬ 
tion, the two preceding ones are edged with orange beneath and the penultimate one above. Found from 
Nepal to Burma, Tonkin and Yunnan. 
5. Genus: Crinocula Jord. 
Frons narrow, without projection. Eyes with dense and long hair. Antennae distinctly incrassate 
distally. Segments 1 and 2 of palpi with long hair beneath, 3 smooth, short, hardly twice as long as broad. Tibiae 
and tarsi smoothly scaled, tarsal segments 3 and 4 beneath densely spinose, claws with tooth and small in the <$, 
the anterior claws distinctly asymmetrical in this sex. Forewing with small areole, subcostals 2 and 5 both 
far beyond the areole, 2 being more proximal than 5, radial 1 from the apex of the areole; cross-vein incurved 
in both wings, lower median branch nearer to the apex of cell than in Exsuln. — Early stages not known. —- 
One species. 
C. kinabaluensis Roths. (Id). Head and upperside of thorax black variegated with greyish white, kinabaluen- 
Underside of body and nearly the whole abdomen yellow, upperside of abdomen more ($) or less ($) black, sls - 
apex black in <$. Forewing with oblique pale yellow discal band; hindwing with a large red discal area, which 
is paler beneath and extended to the base. Length of forewing: $ 17—20, $ 20—22 mm. —- So far known 
only from the Kina-Balu in North Borneo, where this small but pretty species is not rare. 
6. Genus: FI eta Jord. 
Frons without process, convex. Eyes naked. Antennae moderately incrassate distally. Palpi and legs 
as in Crinocula, but segment 3 of palpi longer and the anterior claws cf the $ symmetrical. Forewing with a 
small areole, subcostal 1 as in Crinocula close to the areole and branches 2 and 5 beyond it, 5 being nearer 
the areole than 2 (the inverse being the case in Crinocula)-, sometimes the areole disappears, while on the other 
hand in one of the specimens before me subcostal 1 is connected by an oblique bar with the areole, so as to 
form a second areole; radial 1 not from the areole as in Crinocula, but from the upper angle of cell; cross-vein 
incurved in both wings; base of radial 2 of hindwing (= vein 5) distinctly curved downward in one of the 
J vo species ( belangeii ) and this vein therefore does not originate in the centre of the cell but below it; the two 
median branches of both wings nearer together at the cell than at the outer margin. Abdominal tergites 9 
and 10 of $ developed into a very long thorn-like hook which is bent upward at the base (= tergite IX) and 
then curves downward; claspers sole-shaped.—Early stages not known. — Two species, which closely resemble 
one another. 
A. belangeri Guer. (1 e). Head, upperside of thorax, and an ill-defined dorsal median stripe on the belangeri. 
abdomen black, as is also the apex of the abdomen of the breast and legs grey variegated Avith yelknv 
and brown, underside of abdomen paleyelloAv, sides more reddish yellow. Forewing black, with abbreviated, yellow- 
ish, oblique band on the disc. Hindwing red, with black distal border which is distinctly wider posteriorly; 
radial 2 of hindwing bent down at its base. —- East and West Sumatra and West Java, in the hills, abundant . 
A. moorei Feld. (1 e) differs in the hindAving being darker red and its marginal border narrowing post- moorei. 
eriorly; radial 2 of hindwing (= vein 5) from the centre of the cell, its base not being bent down. —- Western 
Java: Buitenzorg, Preanger, Goenong Gedeh; rare in collections.
