BUTTERFLIES FROM. TEE CEIN EILLS. 641 



submarginal fuscous line ; a black ocellus with white centre and 

 yellow outer ring in the lower median interspace, and four subapical 

 incomplete ocelli with white centres. Hindwing with a similar broad 

 lilac-white postmedial band bearing seven perfectly formed ocelli, of 

 which the fifth is large, the first, fourth and sixth subequal and much 

 smaller than the fifth, the second, third and seventh being also sub- 

 equal and the smallest of all ; a lilac-white submarginal line, beyond 

 which is an ochreous marginal line. Cilia fuscous throughout. The 

 FEMALE differs only in being paler above and bo-low, the transverse 

 band on the uppeeside o{ \he forewing being more distinct and almost 

 white above the third median nervule. 



Nearest to M. anaxias, Hewitson, from which it differs in the 

 entirely different shape and direction of the pale band on the upperside 

 of the forewing. The underside is also somewhat similar to that of 

 M. anaxias, but is much paler, and the fascia on the forewing is 

 entirely different. 



Described from a male from Katha, Upper Burma, in the collection 

 of Mr. de Niceville, and a female taken in April a few miles out of 

 Kalewa, in the Upper Chindwin District, Burma. I have much 

 pleasure in naming this species after Lieutenant- Colonel C. H. E. Adam- 

 son, who has done so much work among the butterflies of Burma, and 

 in whose jurisdiction the Upper Chindwin District ky at the time of 

 the capture of the female described. 



16. Mycalesis (Gareris) sanatana, Moore. 



Two males of the rainy-season form at 3,500 feet in June, four 

 males of the dry-season form at from 3,500 to 5,500 feet in May, and 

 one female of the dry-season form from the Upper Chindwin in April, 

 These specimens are not quite typical, and appear to constitute an ill- 

 defined local race. 



17. Mycalesis (Sadarga) charaka, Moore. 



A single male of the dry-season form from Manipur. 



18. Mycalesis (Orsotripena) medus, Fabricius. 



The dry-season form was common in the Upper Chindwin from 

 December to March. 



19. Mycalesis (Calysisme) perseus, Fabricius. 

 Probably common in the Upper Chindwin, but only a single male 



was caught (in April) belonging to an intermediate seasonal form.
