shining violet, bearing at the end of the cell and in the median in- 

 terspaces slightly paler spots, caused by the white spots of the under- 

 side shewing through by transparency ; a small cordate white spot in the 

 interspace between the subcostal nervure and upper discoidal nervule, 

 beyond and below which are two similar spots placed one below the other 

 divided by the lower discoidal nervule. Hindwing pale brown, the imme- 

 diate base glossed with pale violet ; a discal fascia composed of three dull 

 orange spots from the second median to the lower subcostal nervule. 

 Underside, forewing pale brown, dark brown on the disc, the costa and 

 apex of the wing widely grey, irrorated with fine black dots ; the cell 

 almost entirely occupied by a broad ochreous streak ; the three sub- 

 apical spots as on the upperside, but the two lower of these spots con- 

 nected by a minute spot placed between them ; two discal white spots 

 outwardly defined by pale ochreous placed in the middle of the median 

 interspaces ; the upper one small and elongated ; the lowe r large and 

 quadrate, fully four times as large as the upper. Hindwing greyish- 

 brown, profusely mottled throughout with blackish ; an obscure 

 oblique paler band extending from about the middle of the costa to the 

 middle of the cell, its outer edge marked with a prominent black dot 

 at the base of the second subcostal nervule ; a somewhat quadrate similar 

 spot in the middle of the subcostal interspace ; and a discal band coin- 

 cident with the dull orange macular band of the upperside, but more 

 extended, nearly reaching the outer margin. Female. Upperside, 

 forewing with the violet area duller and confined to the immediate 

 base of the wing ; a quadrate white spot at the end of the discoidal 

 cell ; a tripartite subcostal spot ; another elongated spot from the 

 third median to the upper discoidal nervule, placed outwardly below 

 it ; a large quadrate discal spot completely filling the interspaces 

 between the first and third median nervules. Hindwing with no 

 violet gloss at the base, otherwise as in the male. Underside, 

 forewing with the cell orange but outwardly terminated by a large 

 white spot the other spots as on the upperside. Hindwing as in th© 

 male, but all the markings more obscure. 



Described from three males and one female from Symbyudine, on 

 the Tavoy-Siam frontier, taken in December, 1888, and January 

 and March, 1889. One pair is deposited in the Phayre Museum, 

 Rangoon, two males are in my own collection.
