112 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



black band, the upper ocellus minute, the three next large and united together, the 

 fifth large, and the two lower geminated. 



Female. Upperside. Both wings with all the pale bands broader and clearer 

 white. Underside. Both wings as in the male, but all the markings more clearly 

 defined. Body and legs beneath, and side of palpi pale ochreous-white ; antennae 

 black, distinctly annulated with white, club with a reddish band. 



Expanse, <? Iro? ? 2 inches. 



Habitat. — Bhotan ; Upper Assam. 



Distribution. — This species was first taken in Bhotan by Mr. Otto Moller, in 

 September, 1888, and was also taken in October, by Mr. Fritz Moller's native 

 collectors. Mr. H. J. Elwes (P. Z. S. 1891, 266) records it from " Margherita in

Imago. — Male. Upperside, both wings with the ground-colour about equally 

 divided between black and white. Foreiving with the white area commencing on 

 the inner margin about half its length from the base of the wing and almost reaching 

 the anal angle, extending towards the apex of the wing, which it does not reach, in 

 a triangular or wedge-shaped figure, bearing a series of five round black spots 

 between the veins, of which the three posterior ones are well-formed and separated, 

 the two anterior ones have their outer edges more or less merged into the outer 

 black border of the wing ; the base of the wing is occupied very obliquely by two 

 streaks a little darker than the blackish ground-colour; there is also a narrow 

 whitish streak below the costa ; the outer margin is broadly black, w4th its inner 

 edge festooned. Hindwing with the dusky basal area crossed by two straight dark 

 lines ; a broad discal black band touching the costa but not quite reaching to the 

 abdominal margin, broadest in the middle, narrowing towards both ends ; the outer 

 margin broadly black, bearing a slightly paler line. Underside of both wings 

 precisely as in B. crito, from Bhotan, but all the black bands narrower, the white 

 ground being consequently more extensive. 



Female differs from the male only in its slightly broader and more rounded 

 wings. 



Expanse, c? 1-5 to 1-7; ? 1-6 inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



" Nearest to E. crito, from which it may be known at a glance by the greater 

 extent of the white ground-colour on the upperside of both wings, which character 

 will also separate it from R, crisilda equally well."
