 can easily be identified by its pale costa to fore wings, 

 and by the beautiful glistening colour of the wings below.

Bhamo, October, 1882 ; Kangoon, 1887. In coll. 

 Swinhoe. 



Allied to L. suhsignata, Walker, from which it can 

 easily be distinguished by its whiter hind wings, and the 

 absence of the row of curved discal spots thereon, and 

 also by the absence of the dot at the end of the cell.

 black dots on tlie costa at regular intervals, a discal outwardly 

 curved row of black dots, and a marginal row of black points ;
