of being concolorous with the rest of the wing, as in H. penanga [mehida]; in the 
forewing [in the type] having four instead of five spots, owing to the posterior one 
being absent; in the two anterior spots being shorter, wider, and conjoined instead 
of well separated ; in the hindwing being entirely unglossed with blue, whereas in 
HH, penanga [mehida] it is strongly blue-glossed ; in the markings of the underside of 
both wings being more variegated, and in the presence [in the type| of the large 
ochreous subcostal spot of the hindwing” (de Nicéville, J. ¢.). 
Distrisution.—‘ The type specimens were captured by the Rev. W. A. 
Hamilton’s native collectors at Chelapunji, at the foot of the Khasia hills, on the 
Silhet side, at nearly sea-level” (de N./.c.) A single male, taken by Major C. 
H. EH, Adamson, on April 23rd, 1880, in Upper Tenasserim on the road to the Siam 
frontier, which is evidently of the same species, has five blue elongated spots on 
the forewing above, and on the underside the ochreous subcostal spot is absent, this 
spot being also either absent or present in the male of the allied Malay species, 
B. penanga. Mr. H. J. Elwes (P. Z. 8. 1891, 269) records a single specimen from 
the low country of Hast Pegu, taken by Mr. W. Doherty. 
Both this species, and penanga, are mimics of the Eupleine butterfly 
Calliplea Ledereri.* 
Of the illustrations of this species on our Plate 141, fig. 3 is a reproduction 
of M. de Nicéville’s figure of the type, and fig. 8a is from the Burmese specimen 
taken by Major Adamson.
