Exp. 3*3 in. Wings vivid purple, with large black patch passing through the middled the cell and curving round till it meets the centre of the outer margin of the anterior, and extending downwards to the posterior wing, of which it occupies the apical third, primaries with a subapical fulvous mark, secondaries with the anal half of the outer margin tinged with the same colour, and crossed with a double band of purple spots; beneath reddish brown, crossed by undulating silvery grey bands, secondaries with a band of faintish brown spots crossing the wing beyond the cell. Mus. nostr. Allied to T. terpander, Hew., but with the dark patch of the primaries black instead of brown, and the purple of a bluer tint. The primaries are not nearly so falcate, nor does the centre of the outer margin of the secondaries project so much ; the blue lunate markings of these wings comes much nearer the outer margin. DOLESCHALLIA DASCON, sp. nov. (Plate LVI. fig. 3.) 3 • Exp. 3*4 in. Brownish red; apical half of primaries blackish, crossed beyond the cell by a broadish blue transverse stripe partially broken into spots, extending from the costa towards the outer margin ; near the costa are two small subapical white dots; costa and outer margin of secondaries dark brown. Beneath rusty brown, with a transverse narrow dark band crossing the middle of both wings; a bent whitish band about the centre of the cell, beyond which is a dark subtri-angular spot enclosed by a narrow reddish line; a conspicuous white spot on the costa near the apex, and six very small subparallel to the margin ; two ocelli on the secondaries (one near the anal angle, the other towards the apex), and a greyish spot towards the end of the cell. Mus. nostr. Two males but no female of this species are in the collection. DOLESCHALLIA DASCYLUS, sp. nov. (Plate LVI. fig. 4.) 3 • Exp. 3*5 in. Black, basal third of primaries bright ferruginous ; four subapical white spots, below which are two or three blue ones, the top one much the largest, the third almost, sometimes quite, obsolete; the basal half of the secondaries dark reddish browu ; beneath like the preceding species, but much darker. 2 • Like the male, with a broad white band crossing the end of the cell of the primaries, at the upper and inner edge of which is a small black spot; the blue submarginal spots are less conspicuous; beneath paler than the male, a broad whitish grey band commencing at the |
