ISOTEINON. 8l 



castaneous ; a small round castaneous spot near the base of the wing, the 

 three discal translucent spots as on the upperside, but with two additional 

 opaque round spots, one near the costa at the inner edge of the castaneous 

 portion of the wing, the other in the middle of the submedian interspace, 

 all five spots surrounded by a fine black line ; these are traces of a series of 

 blackish spots between the veins near the margin. Head, thorax, ,and 

 abdomen black above, beneath, legs, and palpi chrome-yellow. 



Expanse: $ r-6 inches. 



Habitat; Karen Hills, Burinah. 



Very near to, but quite distinct from, Hespwia cephala, Hewitson, a 

 fairly common Sikkim species, from which it differs in its large size, and in 

 the following particulars : the subapical series of spots on the forewing 

 has the middle spot the smallest and the upper one the largest, while in 

 //. cephala^ the series is an increasing one ; in H. cephala the spot below 

 these is in the lower discoidal interspace ; on the hindwing in H. cephaloidts 

 there are three small spots, in H. cephala there are two only, both large, the 

 outer one very large ; on the underside in H. cephala the costal yellow streak 

 extends uninterruptedly from the base to the apex, in //. cephaloides it is 

 interrupted by a large castaneous patch; in H. cephala the hindwing is 

 entirely yellow, in H. cephaloides the basal half only is yellow, the outer half 

 being castaneous ; the spots too are very different and in greater number 

 and occupy different positions. I am indebted to Mr. B. Noble, the curator 

 of the Phayre Museum, Rangoon, for the opportunity of describing this 

 interesting species of which he has obtained two specimens. They were 

 captured by the native collector attached .to that institution in the Karen 

 Hills in April 1887." (de Niceville, L c.)
