64 LEPIDOFTERA INDICA. 



BASSAEONA MONILIS (Plate 212, figs. 2, 2a, cj). 



Imago. — Male. Nearest allied to B. recta. Upperside. Forewing with, the 

 transverse pale olivescent-yellow macular band having the three anterior spots 

 disposed in a slightly incurved series, the spots generally more transversely rounded ; 

 the subapical spot minute. Hindiving with the outer border showing faint traces 

 of an inner and an outer row of pale spaces of the ground-colour bordering the 

 darker submarginal fascia ; the pale transverse macular band broadening pos- 

 teriorly, its inner edge almost even ; a crimson spot at the anal angle. Underside 

 dull olivescent brownish-grey ; transverse pale band as above ; basal and 

 submarginal markings as in B. Gupta. 



Expanse, <? 2^q inches. 



Habitat. — Siam. 



Described from three male specimens in the collection of Mr. P. Crowley, 



Nearest allied to B. recta, the upperside differing in the macular band being 

 much paler yellow, the band on the forewing being slightly recurved in its course 

 across the wing, and its component spots being also more uniformly rounded. On 

 the underside the ground-colour is totally different, being of an olivescent-grey, 

 whereas in B. recta, it is bright purpurescent-brown. 



A specimen, from Perak, taken in January, 1890, by Mr. W. Doherty, now in 

 Mr. F. Godman's collection, is of the same species, and also, probably the specimens 

 from Perak, in the collection of Mr. Gr. Semper, referred to (under recta) by 

 de Niceville in J. A. S. Beng. 1894^, p. 17.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark purpurescent blackish-brown, the outer border 

 slightly paler, and with a submarginal obscure diffused black macular fascia. 

 Forewing with a perfectly straight, evenly-margined transverse discal olivescent- 

 yellow macular band, interrupted by the black veins, and composed of seven spots 

 increasing in size posteriorly, the upper three being small and rounded ; a small 

 yellow subapical spot. Hindwing with a pale olivescent-yellow discal band slightly 

 widening from the costa and ending in a point above the anal angle, its edges even ; 

 a small crimson spot at the anal angle. Underside bright purpurescent cinnamon- 

 brown ; the discal pale olivescent-yellow band and subapical spot, as above, defined 

 with black, the submarginal fascia represented by a black linear point in each inter- 

 space surrounded by a diffused patch. Forewing with a black ring-spot in the
