Imago. — Male. Upperside pale brownish-ochreous ; cilia ochreous-brown. 

 Forewing with the veins bordered with dusky-brown which broadens outwardly and 

 pervades the entire margin, the disc being crossed by a slightly darker brown narrow 

 sinuous band, thus breaking the pale interspaces between the veins and showing a 

 more prominently-defined outer series of pale pointed streaks, beyond which is a 

 faintly-defined submarginal line. Hindwing paler anteriorly, the posterior area 

 being broadly ochreous yellow ; the dusky-brown subbasal and discal line of the 

 underside visible by semi-transparency ; a series of four upper submarginal whitish 

 quadrate-spots, the three upper with brown-speckled edges. Underside dull pale 

 brownish-ochreous ; an ochreous-brown narrow band extending from apex of the 

 forewing to above the anal angle of the hindwing ; the hindwing also having a short 

 subbasal similar line ; both wings also with a much less defined slender submarginal 

 line and a series of small pale ochreous-white ocelloid spots. 



Female unknown. 



Expanse, B^q inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



DiSTKiBOTioN. — The type specimen — now in the Hewitson collection at the 

 British Museum, and from which our description is taken, was obtained by Dr. J. 

 Anderson, during the Yunan Expedition of 1868, and is labelled " Yunan " in Mr. 

 Atkinson's handwriting. " There are two specimens of the male, in the Indian 

 Museum, Calcutta, taken by Dr. Anderson at the same time. In a specimen of the 

 male received from the Upper Thoungyeen forests, Burma, by Major G. F. L. 

 Marshall, taken in April, the three white spots on the anterior half of the hindwing 

 are larger, forming a band divided by the veins " (Butt, of India, i. 303). This 

 species was also taken by Mr. Ossian Limborg at " Moolai, 3000 to 6000 feet eleva- 

 tion, in Upper Tenasserim " (P. Z. S. 1878, p. 827). "A single male was taken by 

 Mr. "W. Doherty, in the Karen Hills, at 2000 feet. It also occurs near Bernardmyo, 

 in Upper Burma" (Elwes, P. Z. S. 1891, 271). Dr. N. Manders also records the 

 capture of a male at Bernardmyo (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, p. 520). 



Our illustrations of this species on Plate 165, fig. 2, 2a, are reproductions of 

 Mr. Atkinson's figure of the male from the Proc. Zoological Society for 1871.
