Description : “MALE. UpPersiDe, doth wings dark umber-brown. Forewing with a 
pale medial longitudinal fascia curving from lower end of the cell across the disc. UNDERSIDE, 
both wings pale greyish-brown. Forewing with two pale-bordered transverse marks within the 
cell, one atits end, and another below the middle mark, asubmarginal series of very irregular- 
shaped marks, and with several small pale-bordered irregular spots disposed about the discal 
area, Hindwing with three irregular-shaped pale-bordered cell-marks, four marks along anterior 
border, a discal confluent series ending at anal angle, two marks below the middle cell-mark, 
and three below the basal cell-mark, the middle one of the latter being black, small and 
round; interspersed between the marks are several pale-bordered irregular-shaped small 
spots.” (Afoore,1.c. in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond,, 1883.) [FE] “ MALE. UPPERSIDE, loth wings 
dull fuliginous-white, exterior margins scalloped. Avrewing with the apex from the middle 
of the costa obliquely to below and near the middle of the exterior margin and thence 
retracing to posterior margin dark fuliginous-brown, with the tips of the veins on the costa 
brownish-white. Azzdwing dark fuliginous-brown along anterior margin, with paler fuliginous 
marginal lunules. Cilia pale buff-coloured. Avtenne black. Body pale brown. UNDERSIDE, 
both wings very pale fuliginous-brown. Vorewing with the disc broadly dull white, three 
short transverse brown bands within the cell, an irregularly-margined curved brown submarginal 
band, along the costa and exterior margin numerous small brown speckles. Hindwing 
with basal transverse pale-bordered marks, a short row of black-bordered dark brown 
pointed lunules proceeding from anal angle across the disc, with numerous brown speckles 
beneath it, and also on the anterior margin. Pa/gi and dody beneath and /egs pale brown,” 
(Moore, 1. c. in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond,, 1865.) 
A rare species in Sikkim, Mr, Otto Moller possesses two males and three females, all taken 
in March and April. I also possess Sikkim specimens, and a male taken at Shillong in October. 
The Rev. Walter A. Hamilton possesses a female of this species taken in the Khasi 
Hills which has a broad black band extending down the abdominal margin of the hindwing 
on the upperside, but not quite reaching the extreme edge, no trace of which is found in 
the females from Sikkim that I have seen.

DESCRIPTION : “MALE. UPPERSIDE, doh wings dark brown. Forewing with a pale 
brown elongated patch in the middle of the disc. Mindwing unmarked. UNpersipe, both 
wings pale ochreous-brown, covered (except the inner margin of the forewing) with 
hundreds of very minute spots, made up of a dark brown centre and fine outer pale line. 
Forewing with three similar but larger discoidal spots, and a fourth below the middle spot in 
the -submedian interspace at the point where the first median nervule is given off; a similar 
submarginal series, Aindwing crossed by four almost equi-distant series of similar spots. 
Cilia pale brown throughout, FEMALE. Differs in having the forewing more truncate and 
the hindwing more deeply scalloped than in the male. UPPERSIDE, forewing with the discal 
patch very prominent and pale ochreous, the basal half of the costal margin narrowly pale 
ochreous, with four short streaks beyond. C7/ia pale ochreous. Otherwise as in the male,” 
“ Quite different from any species known to me.” (de Micéville, 1. c.) 
“The tarsi of this species are cylindrical, the first joint nearly twice as long as all the 
others combined. The egg is extremely flat, strongly bicarinate at the side, more than three 
times as wide as high, with the sculpturing all but obliterated above. The third subcostal 
nervule is given off opposite the end of the cell, for which reason I putit in the genus A//otinus,
