above, brownish rose-colour below ; venter dull rose-colour. The larva is figured by 

 Moore, Cat. Lep. E.I. C. i. pi. viii. fig. 5 (1857).

Coimbatoor ( Walhouse). Type, B.M . 



Altogether darker than the preceding ; the vertex of the head dark brown. Mr. 

 Moore has this species from Kussowlee, N.W. Himalayas.

I formerly believed this to be the male of the preceding species ; but Mr. Moore has 

 the female of B. bilineata in his collection from Shanghai. This doubtless gives the 

 species a tremendous range ; but I think there is no doubt of the specific identity of the 

 two sexes.

Kunawur {Lang). Type, coll. F. Moore. 



The larva feeds on poplar. I have seen a second example in Mr. Sharpe's collection.
