234 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



spaces forming between the veins a series of seven lunules ; the outer edge of the 

 band having the tips of the veins indicated by fulvous points, and the lower end of 

 the band terminating in a narrower lunular end at the submedian vein; at the end 

 of the cell is a slender, dusky lunule, with a continuous outer upper black streak, 

 beyond which is a subcostal short narrow black broken curved mark. Hindivvig 

 with two medial costal short slender black sinuous lines below the costal vein, the 

 outer line being continued below the subcostal ; beyond is a submarginal decreasing 

 row of black spots centred by a white dentate point, the upper spots being ovate, the 

 lower dentate. Underside ochreous-yellow. Both wings crossed by four or five 

 slender black sinuous Hues on the basal half, the interspace between the two outer 

 lines being dull fulvous ; a discal less-defined fulvous line with diffused border, 

 followed, on the foi'ewing, by a submarginal series of slightly-defined pearly-white 

 lunules, the upper two being broadest and dentate, and their outline diffused with 

 fulvous ; and on the hindwing the discal line is followed by a slight dusky grey- 

 speckled dark fulvous sinuous fascia, and then by a submarginal series of pearly- 

 white dentate marks, of which the posterior marks are tipt with blue scales and a 

 black point. 



Female. Upperside with the discal area, and middle of costa on hindwing 

 paler fulvous than in the male. Forewing with the outer discal sinuous line dis- 

 tinctly defined and blackish, the cell mark and the subcostal streak beyond broader 

 black, the submarginal sinuous line blackish and slender to its costal end, but with 

 the marginal black border as in the male. Hindwing with the costal sinuous marks 

 and the submarginal row of spots as in the male, the latter only being somewhat 

 larger and more distinctly white centred. Underside exactly as in the male. Body 

 bright fulvous ; palpi above brown, white beneath ; pectus white ; legs above pale 

 ochreous, whitish beneath ; fore tarsi white ; antenna blackish, club tipt with

Expanse, S 3f , ? 4^ inches. 



Habitat. — Sikkim ; Bhotan ; Assam ; Naga Hills ; Burma ; Tenasserim. 



Distribution. — In Sikkim, according to Mr. L. de Niceville (Butt. Ind. ii. 282), 

 this species is the commonest of the group. " It occurs from April to October at 

 low elevations, the female being much rarer than the male" (Sikkim Gazetteer, 

 1894, 148). Specimens taken in Sikkim in July and November by Mr. Otto 

 MoUer are in Mr. W. Rothschild's collection. It has been taken at Buxa in Bhotan 

 by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon. It also occurs in Assam and Sylhet. We have it from the 

 Naga Hills, and specimens from the Garo Hills are in Mr. "W. Rothschild's collection. 

 Major C. H. E. Adamson obtained it at Bharao, Burma, and Mr. W. Doherty 

 obtained it in East Pegu. Both sexes from Taipang, Malay Peninsula, are in 

 Mr. "W. Rothschild's collection.
