MOIfGOMIOIDES. 483 



Eangoon, 25. ii. 08 (all Annandcde) ; Sylhet, 5. ii. 05 (Lt.-Col. 

 Hall). 



Ti/j)es originally in Dr. Trentepohl's and Wiedemann's collec- 

 tions, presumably now in the Vienna Museum. 



This species is likely to prove to have an extensive distribution 

 in the East, and is probably fairly common in Bengal and the 

 south-eastern parts of India. The clouded wing-tip makes it easily 

 recognisable from all other species in this group.

 and palpi yelloAvish ; back of head \A'ith few hairs. Thorax yel- 

 lowish, practically bare ; dorsum more orange, with traces of a

 Wings pale grey, with lighter spaces ; the fore border shows four 

 such, of which the first reaches to the posterior border at the end 

 of the 7th vein ; the second extends to the basal part of the mar- 

 ginal cell ; the third reaches the submarginal cell ; and the fourth, 

 a smaller one, is towards the end of the wing ; the base of the 

 wing and the 3rd posterior cell are also nearly clear. Venation 

 as in trentepohlii, Wied. Halteres brown, stem pale yellow.

Described from a unique specimen, Calcutta, 28. xi. 07, in the 

 Indian Museum collection.
