From W. African specimens of L. alcippus this differs in the fore 

 wing having a broader series of white subapical oblique spots, the 

 white spot below these (between the upper and middle median veins) 

 is much larger ; and there is a lower discal spot on the red area 

 between the middle and lower medians, which is not present in 

 any West-African specimens that I have seen. The hind wing has 

 somewhat less white than the African specimens. 



Expanse 3 inches. 



Hab. Nepal (Gen. Barnsay). In coll. F. Moore.
