Fore wing with a slightly excurved, oblique, bright green cliscal 

 band that extends from the middle of the costa to the dorsum a 

 little before the tornal angle ; measured on the dorsum the width 

 of this band is nearly equal to one-third of the length of the dorsal 

 margin; anteriorly the band passes through the apical fourth 

 of the cell and is narrowed slightly at the costa. Hind wing : 

 costal margin broadly, termen including the tail more narrowly, 

 devoid of the irroratiou of green scales ; a broad discal bar, 

 elongate-oval in shape, extends from the dorsum a little above the 

 tornus to the middle of interspace 6, its outer margin diffuse ; this 

 is followed by a postcliscal area where the irroration of green scales 

 is sparser than at the base, and a subterminal series of very broad 

 lunules formed of scales of similarly metallic coloration ; finally a 

 dark ochraceous-brown ocellus centred with black and surmounted 

 by blue at the tornal angle, and a paler ochraceous-yellow lunule 

 subapically in interspace 7. Underside velvety brownish-black; 

 bases of both fore and hind wings somewhat thickly, the outer 

 portions more thinly, sprinkled with pale yellow scales. Fore 

 wing : apical half obliquely pale brownish white, darkening to 

 dusky black at the apex and narrowly along the ternien ; the pale 

 area very narrow at the tornal angle, gradually broadened up to 

 the costa, traversed by the black veins. Hind wing : uniform ; 

 an outer narrow pale band traversed by a subterminal series of 

 ochraceous-brown lunules that are bordered on both inner and outer 

 sides by velvety black, the black on the innerside crossed by 

 diffuse short lines of bluish-white scales ; the lunule in interspace 7 

 broadly and conspicuously bordered inwardly with white. Antennae, 

 head, thorax and abdomen velvety black, the head and thorax above 

 overlaid with green. $ . Differs from c? in the discal transverse 

 bands on the upperside of the fore and hind wings, which are 

 conspicuously narrower, and on the hind wing by the brighter 

 ochraceous colour of the tornal ocellus.

Hob. Within our limits the hills of Burma and Tenasserim. 

 Found also in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. 

 Hare in Burma and Tenasserim. I took one specimen in the Ruby 

 Mines district in Upper Burma at 5000 ft. elevation, and others 

 in the Tunzalin and Haungtharaw Valleys in Tenasserim. 

 Mr.Hauxwell records the following note : " This butterfly has the 

 habit of bathing in shallow water in hill streams. It skims the 

 surface of the water like a swallow and dips its body into the 

 water, giving itself a shake as it comes out and then flies on again."
