Astictopterus Subfasciatus, Moore, P. Z. S., 1878, p. 842. 



" Male and female. Upperside uniform vinous-brown. Underside 

 forewing with a short vinous-grey streak, and two small ochreous-grey 

 spots obliquely from the costa before the apex ; hind-margin pale ochreous- 

 brown ; hindwing with a short, broad, medial, and a subbasal vinous-grey 

 band ; abdominal margin broadly pale ochreous-brown ; some indistinct 

 spots between the bands and at the base also pale ochreous-brown. Palpi, 

 body, and legs beneath pale ochreous-brown. 



Expanse : if inches. 



Habitat: Ahsown (Upper Tenasserim). 



A specimen of this species from S. India is also in the collection of the 

 British Museum." (Moore, I. c.) 



Recorded from Cachar (Wood-Mason and de Nic faille} ; Modah, Upper 

 Burma (Butler] ; Nilgiris (Hampson). Messrs. Wood-Mason and de 

 Niceville note that "the male of this species has a curious impressed 

 elongated oval brand on the forewing, placed so immediately behind as to 

 touch the median nervure, and extending for one-third of its length along 

 the first median nervule. This species probably has no real connection 

 with the genus Astictopterus." (jf. A. S. B., vol. lv. pt. 2, p. 380, n. 204 > 

 pi. xviii, figs, i, la, tf (1886). 



Common throughout Burma in suitable localities ; it seems to prefer 

 deep shade.

Kevana, Distant, Rhop. Mai., p. 402 (1886). 



"This genus is closely allied to Astictopterus, but structurally differs 

 by having the first subcostal nervule of the anterior wings emitted more 

 nearly opposite the base of the second than of the lower median nervule."
