the four lower interspaces either uniform with the ground-colour, or are slightly 

 inwardly bordered with sullied-whitish lunules. Underside similar to Sedeva ; bands 

 on forewing with whiter interspaces, as on upperside. 



Expanse, S 2^q, ? 2^q to 3 inches. 



Habitat. — Burma ; Tenasserim ; Malay Peninsula. 



Note. — "We have assigned Bougainville's name (as above cited) to this species. 

 His figure is doubtless taken from a Malayan specimen. His figure agrees exactly 

 with some Burmese and Malay examples under examination. The other species (of 

 various genera) which he figures on the same plate, are also representatives of 

 known Malayan butterflies. 



Disteibution. — " This is a common species throughout Burma " (de Niceville, 

 J. Bombay N. H. S. 1891, 352). "In Major Marshall's collection are three males 

 of this species, taken by Capt. C. T. Bingham in the Thoungyeen forests. Upper 

 Tenasserim, in December. There are also three females from Mepley, one from 

 Don at, taken in January, two from Upper Thoungyeen forests, taken in April, two 

 taken in March, and one from Sekkan, Thoungyeen, taken in February " [id. Butt. 

 India, 209). In the British Museum collection are specimens from Tilin Yaw, taken 

 in May by Capt. E. Y. Watson during the Chin-Lushai Expedition of 1889-90 ; also 

 both sexes taken in Kollido, Papun, N.E. Tenasserim, November and December, 

 Yunzaleen Valley in December, the Donat Range in February and September, and 

 in Mergui in August, by Capt. C. T. Bingham. A female from the Karen Hills is 

 in Mr. P. Crowley's collection. Major C. H. E. Adamson records it from " Bhamo 

 and Upper Tenasserim. Not uncommon near Moulmein in July " (List, p. 18). 

 Dr. N. Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 524) found it " somewhat local in the Shan 

 States, Burma, but abundant where it occurs. I took it at Nankon, 4000 feet, on 

 the edge of the thick belt of hills and forest extending between the Phwayla Plateau 

 and the Upper Burma plains ; also in the neighbourhood of Mone, and commonly 

 in Eastern Karenni. It flies nearly all the year round." The specimen described 

 as " Parvata " was taken by Mr. O. Limborg at " Meetan, 3000 feet, Upper Tenas- 

 serim, in April " (P. Z. S. 1878, 831). Dr. J. Anderson obtained it in " Mergui 

 in March, and on Sullivan Island in January " (J. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 38). 

 Mr. Distant records it from Perak, Malay Peninsula (Rhop. Malay. 439).
