distance below the apex), the lower a little the larger; three discal 

 spots placed obliquely, the upper one in the lower discoidal interspace 

 a mere dot, equal in size to the lower subapical dot, the middle spot in 

 the upper median interspace about four times as large, its outer edge 

 concave, its inner convex, the lowest spot about four times as large as 

 and shaped like the spot above, placed in the first median interspace. 

 Hindwing unmarked, but the abdominal margin and especially the anal 

 angle fringed with very long hairs. Underside, both wings much paler 

 than above, sprinkled throughout thickly with dull ochreous scales. 

 Forewing with the inner margin broadly pale yellow, a tuft of long black 

 hairs attached to the margin. Hindwing with a discoidal and four or 

 five discal small very obscure dark spots, which appear to be formed by 

 a portion of the ground-colour being left free from the dull ochreous 

 scales. Antennas above entirely fuscous, beneath with an increasing 

 yellowish streak towards the apex, not extending to the extreme tip. 

 Cilia of the forewing concolorous, of the hindwing cinereous. 



Apparently nearest to /. subtestaceusy Moore, of which there is 

 one of the original specimens from Upper Tenasserim taken by Mr. 

 Ossian Limborg in 1876-77 in the collection of the Indian Museum , 

 Calcutta. Differs therefrom in having two spots instead of one in the 

 discoidal cell of the forewing, two instead of three subapical dots, three 

 instead of two discal spots, which latter also differ widely in size, shape, 

 and position. The coloration of the underside is also quite different. 



The type specimen of /. tapis is from Johore in the Malay Peninsula, 

 and was kindly forwarded to me by Mr. W. Davison. In the Indian 

 Museum, Calcutta, are two small specimens taken by Dr. J. Anderson 

 in the Mergui Archipelago on nth December, 1881, and nth April, 

 1882, respectively, which are undoubtedly the same species, though too 

 .worn to be identified by Mr. Moore when working out the collection of 

 which these specimens formed a part. On one of them Mr. Moore 

 placed a ticket on which is written " not moolata" which is, however, 

 a Parnara, and not an Isoteinon" (de Niceville, 1. c.)
