of the prominent and large white patch and its central spot on the 

 forewing." (Moore, I. c). The female described by Moore is really that 

 of B. oceia, Hewitson. 



" Females have, in addition to the eight spots present in males, a more 

 or less well-developed triangular bright yellow opaque one touching the 

 submedian rather beyond the middle of this, and appearing on the under- 

 side as an imperfect band between that vein and the first median veinlet ; 

 and, moreover, have the whole underside thickly and evenly clothed with 

 rufous-brown scales." (Wood-Mason and de Niceville, I. c.) 



Also recorded from Sikkim (de Niceville} ; not recorded from Sikkim 

 by Mr. Elwes, but as he considers that P. cahira is very probably identical 

 with P. austeni, it is not improbable that it is the latter species which is 

 meant by Mr. de Niceville.

 fig. i, $ (1883). 



11 Male. Upperside rich dark brown with a vinous tinge. Forewing 

 with three very small subapical spots, the middle one out of line, placed 

 nearer the base of wing ; an increasing series of three spots outside the 

 cell, placed one each at the bases of the median interspaces, all the spots 

 semi-transparent ochreous-white : the base of the wing and the space below 

 the submedian nervure as well as the base and disc of the hindwing 

 (which is otherwise unmarked) clothed with long ochreous hairs. Under- 

 side. Forewing marked as above, but the costa to beyond the middle, and 

 broadly across the disc of the hindwing pale violet-white. Cilia cinereous. 

 No secondary sexual characters. Female differs from the male only in the 

 wings being somewhat broader, and the apex of the forewing less acute.
