 slender pale medial discal line and an outer marginal line. Underside deep chestnut- 

 red ; markings as above, prominent ; the slightly-confluent discoidal streak, and 

 discal band on both wings yellowish-white ; the marginal lines, the medial-discal

Wet-season hrood (Plate 282, fig. 1, d, e, f, g, c? ? )• 



Male and female. Upperside. Forewing with the sullied-white cell and 

 contiguous streak comparatively narrower, narrowest in the female, the latter more 

 elongated ; the discal spots more or less much smaller. Hindwing with the discal 

 band somewhat narrower, the sullied brownish-white submarginal band more linear 

 in the male. Underside with the ground-colour darker chestnut-red than in 

 dry-season brood ; markings as above. 



Expanse, c? 2 to 2j^, ? 2^) to 2i^ inches. 



Habitat. — South Andamans. 



Distribution. — Confined to the Andaman Isles. Numerous specimens were 

 taken at Port Blair by the late Mr. F. de Roepstorff. We possess a series of both 

 sexes of the wet-season form, and two males (types of Clinia) which we have assigned 

 as being the dry-season form — the originally cited locality of which is erroneous, — 

 and a female of the latter form from the Andamans. 



Of our illustrations of this species on Plate 282, figs. 1, la, b, c, are male and 

 female of the dry -season form — the male being the type specimen of Clinia; and 

 figs. 1, d, e, f, g, the male and female type specimens of Mananda, the wei-season 

 form.
