" Male and female fuliginous-brown. 



Male. Upperside, forewing with three minute semi-transparent spots 

 before the apex, two larger similar spots on the disc, diverging inward 

 below the extremity of the cell ; across the disc are three ill-defined blackish 

 spots, and one before it near the base ; apex and exterior margin blackish ; 

 hindwing with a curved series of small blackish discal spots. Underside 

 brown : forewing with the semi-transparent spots as above ; hindwing 

 suffused with greyish-white, and having a curved series of small blackish 

 discal spots. Palpi, body and legs beneath greyish-white. Female similar, 

 but having two very minute additional spots beneath the subapical series, 

 those on the disc being large and above the latter is a transverse spot at the 

 extremity of the cell. Cilia brown throughout. 



Expanse : <f if , $ 2 inches. 



Habitat : Bengal," (Moore, P. Z. S., I. c.) 



Also occurs in the Andamans and Nicobars (Wood-Mason and de 

 Niceville') ; Calcutta ( de Niceville) ; Tavoy (Elwes and de Niceville) ; Cachar 

 (Wood-Mason and de Niceville) ; Orissa (Taylor). 



11 This species varies in the colour of the under-surface of the posterior 

 wings, which in some specimens is wholly pale fuliginous-brown and in 

 others more or less olivaceus-brown." (Distant, I. c.) 



I have this species commonly from Rangoon and from Poungadaw, 

 U. Burma. The apical spots on forewing vary from two to four.
