Imago. — Male. Upperside paler olivescent ochreous-brown than in Appiades ; 

 basal marks similar, but differs in the transverse discal fascia on both wings being 

 more distinctly lunulate and less diffused. On the forewing both the discal and 

 submarginal fascia is distinctly defined at their anterior end, and are, moreover, 

 placed nearer together in their entire course, the discal fascia also being more 

 acutely angular at the lower radial ; the two upper interspaces between the bands 

 are either slightly paler brown than the ground-colour, and with a small more or 

 less paler brownish-white outer point — or the two entire spaces are pale sullied 

 brownish-white ; the blue marginal band on the hindwing is comparatively broader 

 than in Appiades. Underside. Forewing paler, the ochreous ground-colour being 

 more restricted to middle of the wing, the apex and borders suffused with paler 

 greyish-green, the transverse fasciee near together as on upperside, the 3rd, 4th, 

 and 5th portion of the discal fascia being composed of half-circles — like a capital 

 letter or G, or the 3rd, and sometimes also the 4th, are quite circular; the two 

 upper interspaces have a white outer point, or are sometimes wholly whitish. 

 Eindiving entirely suffused with pale powdery greyish-green. 



Female. Upperside pale olivescent ochreous-brown as in male, paler than in 

 the same sex of Appiades ; basal marks less distinct than in male. Forewing with 

 the transverse bands also near together, the two upper interspaces entirely sullied- 

 white, the four lower either discally-bordered with a whitish lunule or a broad 

 sullied-white rounded spot. Underside similar to Appiades, except that, in the 

 forewing, the ti'ansverse bands are nearer together as on upperside, the two upper 

 interspaces entirely and the lower discally-bordered lunules pure white. 



Expanse, S 2^^ to 2^^, ? 3 to ^^q inches. 



Habit.\t. — Assam ; Silhet ; Cachar. 



Note. — Both sexes of if. Sedeva are distinguishable from the Sikkim Appiades, 

 in being comparatively smaller, and uniformly paler on the upperside, the nearer 

 approximation of the two transverse fasciae on the forewing, and in the two upper
