Mr. Elwes (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1888, p. 458), says, " Mr. Doherty 

 mentions this species as having been taken in Sikkim. Moller aJso has 

 taken what I believe to be this species in the Terai during the rains." 



Mr. Hampson [J. A. S. B., 1888, p. 368] , states that a single specimen 

 was taken by Mr. Alfred Lindsay on the southern slopes of the Nilgiri 

 Hills at 3,000 feet elevation. 



Since writing the above I have, during May, obtained several 

 specimens of this species at Loungat at the foot of the Chin Hills in 

 Upper Burma. They settled invariably on the ground with their wings 

 extended flat. The following description is taken from my specimens : 



Expanse: 1*5 inches. 



Upperside, brown with numerous white and straw-coloured spots. 

 Forewing with a minute white spot near base of cell, two conjoined 

 straw-coloured spots beyond it also minute, a large square outwardly- 

 indented white spot near end of cell, with a minute linear straw- 

 coloured one above it, and a lunate straw-coloured spot closing the 

 cell ; a round white spot beneath this last one, with three rounded white 

 spots of which the centre one is minute nearer base of wing and 

 almost directly below the large white spot in cell, also three small 

 straw-coloured spots still nearer base of wing; a discal row of nine 

 spots, curving across the wing, beyond the cell, of which, the upper 

 three are white, conjoined, and linear, the next two also white and 

 minute, and the remainder straw-coloured ; four apical submarginal 

 straw-coloured spots, and a complete row of eight similar marginal ones. 

 Hindwing, with a spot near base, another lunate one in cell, and two 

 complete marginal rows, all straw-coloured ; inner margin heavily 

 clothed with long fuscous setae. Underside, forewing densely clothed 

 at base with greyish-white scales, the spots as above but all white, the 

 yellow ones of the upperside being opaque and the white ones semi- 

 transparent. Hindwing, white, with the spots as above but more 

 numerous and black, a prominent anteciliary black line. Cilia above 

 and below alternated with black and white. Antennae, fuscous ; body 

 fuscous above and whitish beneath.
