the median interspaces, the lower a little the larger, two towards 

 the end of the discoidal cell placed somewhat inwardly obliquely. 

 Hindicing unmarked. Underside, foreicing with the middle dark 

 brown, the costa, outer, and inner margins greyish -ochreous ; the 

 spots as above; a submarginal regular series of small pale dots 

 placed one each between the veins ; a large oblong pale patch in 

 the submedian interspace ; two anteciliary fine black lines ; the 

 cilia ochreous-grey. Hindwing ochreous-grey, the surface bearing 

 numerous dark brown streaks and spots between the veins, and other 

 less conspicuous smaller spots of a pale ochreous colour, the principal 

 of these being a prominent discal series of elongated dark streaks, 

 which is continued in a semi-circle below the costa to the base of the 

 wing ; two fine black anteciliary lines, and the cilia ochreous-grey as 

 in the forewing. Body above concolorous with the wings ; first 

 and second joint of the palpi and breast white, abdomen beneath 

 greyish. Female. Upperside, both icings as in the male, but of 

 course lacking the male sexual duplicated tufts of modified scales 

 characteristic of the genus on the upperside of the forewing in 

 the submedian interspace; this "male-mark" in this species being 

 extremely inconspicuous. Underside, both wings as in the male, 

 but the ground-colour and all the markings paler and more 

 obscure. 



This species belongs to the group of A. beturia, Hewitson, and 



appears to be nearest allied to Baoris? insignis, Distant (Rhopalocera 



Malayana, p. 391, n. 1, pi. xxxv, fig. 22 (1886) from Singapore, 



from which, however, it appears to differ in having all the spots of 



the forewing smaller, in having three instead of two subapical spots, 



and in lacking the small subcostal sjiot above the two spots in the 



■cell ; the differences on the underside, too, appear to be considerable. 



The type male of this species was taken by Major C. T. Bingham 



at Thaungyin, Burma, in January, 1891 ; he has also sent me other 



two male specimens (which differ from the type in having all the 



markings of the underside much darker and more prominent) taken 



in the Ataran Valley, Burma, in February, 1891 ; another male was 



taken by Dr. N. Manders on 10th March, 1888, at Mairgyi in the 



Shan States ; the type female was also taken by the same gentleman 



in Burma— these latter specimens are in Mr. II. J. Elwes' collection,
