wings brown. Underside ferruginous. Fore wing : a broad pale 

 area in the middle posteriorly, a short line on the discocellulars, 

 a sinuate short vertical discal line not reaching the dorsum, 

 a postdiscal very obscure similar line from costa to dorsum and a 

 narrow terminal edging ferruginous, of a shade darker than the 

 ground-colour ; the transverse area enclosed between the discal 

 and postdiscal dark ferruginous lines slightly paler towards the 

 inner side, the apex beyond the postdiscal line also pale before 

 the terminal edging. Hind wing : darkest on the costal area near 

 base ; a pale diffuse patch at apex of cell, a short line on the 

 discocellulars, a discal curved lunular broken band, a transverse 

 postdiscal ill-defined broader baud followed by a sinuate line and 

 a broad terminal edging, dark ferruginous. Antennae, head, thorax 

 and abdomen fuscous black, the shafts of the antennae ringed with 

 white ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen white tinged 

 with ocbraceous. $ . Upperside : rich ochraceous orange. Fore 

 wing : the apex from the middle of the costa outwards dark 

 brown, this colour continued as a well-defined broad band to the 

 tornus and diffusely along the dorsum to the base of the wing, quite 

 filling interspaces 1 a and 1 and crossing over the vein above into 

 interspace 2. Hind wing : shaded broadly along the dorsal area 

 with dark brown ; an incomplete series of subterminal dark 

 brown spots that become obsolescent anteriorly. Underside : 

 darker ochraceous. Fore and hind wings : with transverse fer- 

 ruginous lines and bands as in the <3 , but no pale patches either 

 on the fore or the hind wings. Antennae brown, the shafts ringed 

 with white as in the cf ; head, thorax and abdomen ochraceous 

 brown ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen paler. 

 Exp. 3 $ 40-43 mm. (1-54-1-68"). 



Hob. Within our limits, Tenasserim : the Ataran and Thaun- 

 gyin Valleys, Tavoy ; the Malay Peninsula. 



A rare insect ; I got a d 1 at the foot of Nawalabo Mountain, 

 Tavoy District, one $ in the Thaungyin Valley, and another 

 which was sent to me from the 

 Ataran Valley by Mr. C. W. Allan, 

 of the Burma Forest Department. 



The latter two differ from the 

 type-specimen described by Hewit- 

 son as follows : Ground - colour 

 much paler with a bright ochraceous 

 yellow both on upper and under- 

 sides. Fore wing on the upperside : 

 brown markings much restricted, 

 confined to a terminal series of very 

 large quadrate spots in the inter- 

 spaces broadly divided by the veins which are lined with ochraceous 

 yellow. Hind wing immaculate. Underside : fore and hind wings : 

 markings precisely similar to those of the typical $ .
