anteriorly, longest interiorly, and the two outer series macular; the set between the 
median and submedian broadest and most connected. Hindwing with a broad 
divided-streak within the cell, and three outer series of similar-coloured streaks 
between the veins, the fourth or outer series being more or less obsolete. Under- 
side. Both wings marked as on upperside, except that all the markings are more 
prominent and somewhat broader ; both wings with the outer row more transversely 
linear ; also with an outer-marginal slender interrupted line ; and the forewing also 
having some slender streaks along the costa. Thorax above clothed with glossy 
virescent-erey hairs, its front with orange-red hairs; abdomen above brown; body

Expanse, 2} to 3} inches. 
Hasitat.—N.W. and H. Himalayas; Assam; Cachar; Burma. 
Distripution aND Hasrrs.—* This is a somewhat local insect, nowhere very 
common. In the Kangra District, Mr. Hocking (P.Z.S8. 1882, 235) records that it 
has been taken at Jatingri, but is very local and rare. In Kumaon, Mr. E. T. 
Atkinson obtained it in wooded lowlands, and Major C. F. L. Marshall has taken it 
in the neighbourhood of Nanai Tal. It occurs in Nepal and Sikkim, and also in the 
Khasia Hills in the autumn. In Cachar, Mr. Wood-Mason took it on Nemotha in 
October, and in Silhet. Capt. C. T. Bingham found it in Upper Tenasserim in the 
lower Thoungyeen forests from March to May. It apparently only occurs in the 
mountainous parts of North-Hast India, and at low elevations” (Butt. of India, 1. 
174). Mr. L. de Nicéville (J.A.S. Beng. July, 1885) records the capture of a 
‘“*female in Sikkim, in October, at 3200 feet elevation.” Mr. H. J. Elwes writes 
(Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, 322), ‘I never saw this insect myself in Sikkim, but Mr. 
Moller obtained it at 2000 to 4000 feet; and Mr. Gammie found it abundant in 
British Bhotan at 6000 feet, in June. At Cherra Punji, in Khasia, I found it com- 
mon at 4000 feet, on the edge of the forest, and beat it from bushes by the path. 
Its flight is not strong, or quick, but dodging. The female seems rare, but Mr. de 
Nicéville caught it at 3000 feet in Sikkim, in October.”’ Dr. N. Manders (Trans. 
Ent. Soc. 1890, 519) obtained a single male in the neighbourhood of Bernardmyo, 
in the Shan States, Burma.” Signor Leonardo Fea obtained it in the Karen Hills 
in May and October.
