I caught a single specimen of this species at Beeling, Upper Tenas- 

 serim, in April. It differs from the description in having six spots on fore- 

 wing, the upper three minute ; also in a very long series of this species 

 obtained during March and April at Tilin, Yaw District, Upper Burma, 

 I have found invariably three subapical spots.
