DiSTE[BUTiON. — Males were taken by Dr. J. Anderson on Kisserang Island, and 

 in Mergui, in December (J. Linn. Soc. Z. 1886, 37). Mr. Moti Ram also took a 

 " male in Tavoy " (J. A. S. Bengal, 1887, 423). The type was taken in Malacca. 

 Mr. Distant records it from Province Wellesley and Malacca (I.e. p. 163). It also

Imago — Male. Upperside purpurescent brownish-black, with blacker 

 intervening borderiugs to the markings ; cilia slightly alternated with white ; 

 markings very prominent and bluish-white. Foreiving with a bluish-white claviform 

 cell-streak divided into three portions, the division of the two basal portions being 

 more or less incomplete and slightly defined ; a very large broadly-triangular disco- 

 cellular spot beyond; three subapical oblique oval spots, a large rounded discal 

 spot and two lower narrow spots, the upper one slightly indented at the sides ; 

 beyond is a submarginal row of distinctly-defined lunules, followed by a slightly- 

 defined pale brown marginal line. Hindioing crossed by a narrow inner-discal band 

 and a submarginal row of narrower lunate spots, followed by a pale brown
