" Upperside dull ferruginous, palest on the hindwing : fore wing 

 slightly suffused with blackish along the posterior margin ; an irregular 

 series of variously-shaped semi-transparent spots disposed across the disc, 

 with an exterior blackish transverse streak : hindwing with the base 

 suffused with blackish, a subbasal agglomerated series of irregularly-shaped 

 semi-transparent spots. Underside paler, marked as above, but without 

 the transverse black outer streak on the forewing. 



Palpi and body beneath whitish. Legs ferruginous. 



Expanse : i inches. 



Habitat : Darjeeling." (Moore, I. c.) 



Also recorded from Upper Assam (Butler) ; Sikkinr (Elwes). 



According to Mr. Elwes a very nearly allied if not identical species 

 occurs in N. China, and he states he has two specimens of another pos- 

 sibly new species (presumably allied to this and probably the species 

 described next below), from Akyab and Tenasserim. 



I obtained a single specimen from Beeling, Upper Tenasserim, iden- 

 tified by Mr. de Niceville.

" Description : Male. Upperside, loth wings reddish -ochreous, with 

 numerous lustrous semi-transparent white spots. Forewing with a small 

 spot in the discoidal cell towards the base, with an elongated spot below it 

 in the submedian interspace, sometimes divided into two ; a very large 

 spot at the end of the discoidal cell, outwardly anteriorly deeply incised ; 

 two spots above it just below the costa divided by the first subcostal 

 nervule ; a discal curved series of ten spots, of which the first four are of 

 nearly equal size (the uppermost the smallest), divided by the subcostal 

 nervules, followed by a rapidly increasing series of four spots, one in each 

 interspace ; then by two spots, the lower three times as large as the upper, 

 in the submedian interspace ; a submarginal obscure fuscous band. Hind- 

 wing with a clump of spots shewing great diversity in shape and size occupy- 

 ing the middle of the wing ; a submarginal dark fascia as in the forewing. 

 Underside, loth wings coloured and marked as above, but all except the 

 outer margin thickly frosted with grey, which appearance is found on 

 examination under a strong lens to be due to the presence of long white
