104 ODONTOPTILUM. 



hair-like scales scattered somewhat sparsely over the surface. Female 

 differs from the male only in being rather paler, and the submarginal 

 dark fascia above more prominent. 



Near to the " Achlyodes" vasava of Moore from Sikkim, Assam [and 

 Upper Tenasserim] , from which it differs in its more reddish less ochreous 

 ground-colour, considerably less angulated wings, the forewing on the 

 upperside on the disc and base not suffused with black, the third spot of 

 the discal series equal in length to the spot on either side of it, instead 

 of, as in C. vasava, being greatly lengthened out and ending in a point 

 just below the costa ; and all the spots on the hindwing smaller, especi- 

 ally those in the discoidal cell, the middle spot of C. vasava being divided 

 into two in C. multiguttata. 



Described from two male specimens from the Meplay Valley, taken in 

 February, another from the Donat Range, taken in January, and a female 

 from the valley of the Houngdarou taken in March, all in Upper Burma, 

 by Majors C. T. Bingham and C. H. E. Adamson. This is probably one 

 of the species referred to by Mr. H. J. Elwes as from Akyab and Tenas- 

 serim in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1888, p. 458, n. 512." (de Niceville, I. c.)

Odontoptilum, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. v, 

 p. 217 (1890). 



" Forewing, elongated ; costa gently arched ; apex acute ; outer margin 

 at first at right angles to the costa, then directed strongly obliquely in- 

 wardly ; inner angle rather acute, inner margin short, sinuous, of about the 

 same length as the outer margin ; costal nervure not reaching to opposite the 

 apex of the discoidal cell ; all four subcostal nervules with their bases about 

 equally distant one from the other ; the fourth subcostal reaching the apex 

 of the wing ; the terminal portion of the subcostal nervure ending on the outer 

 margin considerably below the apex of the wing ; upper disco-cellular ncrvule 

 stout, straight, short, outwardly oblique ; middle disco-cellular shorter than 

 lower ; lower disco-cellular straight, in the same straight line as the middle, 

 both strongly inwardly oblique ; median nervules arising very far apart, second 

 median arising long before the lower end of the cell ; first median arising 

 one-third of the length of the cell from the base of the wing ; submedian 

 nervure sinuous ; internal nervure short and running into the submedian 

 nervure, both as usual. Hindwing, costa short, much produced at base, 

 then straight to apex ; outer margin strongly excavated between terminal 

 points of costal nervure and first subcostal nervule, then arched to anal 

 angle ; anal angle slightly produced lobe-wise ; inner margin sinuous ; costal 

 nervure gently arched, ending at apex of wing ; first subcostal nervule arising 

 some distance before the apex of the discoidal cell ; upper disco -cellular 

 nervule straight, slightly outwardly oblique, in the same straight line as 

 the lower ; lower disco-cellular longer than the upper ; discoidal nervule fine
