band, its uppermost spot well-detached, the others confluent ; lastly 

 the termen shaded with dark brown. Antenna?, head, thorax and 

 abdomen dark brown ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 paler. $ differs from the c? as follows: Upperside, fore wing : 

 a conspicuous broad, very oblique medial band that consists ot : 

 a large, white, somewhat irregularly-shaped spot beyond apex 

 of cell and two spots placed obliquely outwards en echelon below 

 it. Underside: the dark brown markings on the pale brown 

 ground-colour similar in shape and character but far more clearly 

 defined and prominent, the slender white edgings to the minute 

 spots and specks very conspicuous. Antennae, head, thorax and 

 abdomen as in the J

3 . Upperside : brown. Fore wing : an elongate oval pale patch 

 beyond apex of cell. Hind wing : uniform, immaculate. Under- 

 side : dull white. Both fore and hind wings with numerous short, 

 slender, transverse strigaB and minute dots, brown. Fore wing : 

 dorsal area near base below the cell but not further outwards more 

 or less free of spots and strigse ; a narrow brown transverse spot 

 across cell near the base, another across the middle, and a third at 

 the apex of the same ; a postdiscal, sinuate, irregular, macular, 

 transverse, broad brownish line followed by a subterminal series 

 of similarly- coloured minute spots. Hind wing : two or three 

 very broken similar transverse broad curved lines, sometimes 

 clearly marked and the detached portions indicating a definite 

 band, in other specimens very irregular and out of line with one 

 another ; this is followed by a subterminal series of minute brown 

 dots as on the fore wing. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen con- 

 colorous with the wings ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 more or less speckled with whitish. $ . Similar, but in all speci- 

 mens I have seen invariably smaller. Upperside : ground-colour 

 of the same brown shade as in the d , the pale postcellular patch 

 on fore wing replaced by a diffuse medial patch that spreads into 

 the cell. Hind wing : as in the d 1 . Underside : also similar in 

 ground-colour and markings to that of the d , but the markings 

 broader, more clearly defined, and less macular. Antenna?, head, 

 thorax and abdomen as in the d

The markings on the underside are extremely variable, no two 

 specimens being alike. Two females from Eangoon have the post- 

 discal transverse macular markings on the underside very like the 

 same markings in the forms of the genus Cyaniris.
