 two basal streaks, which are lilacine-grey. Body and palpi above black, thorax iri- 

 descent; abdomen above with a basal slight bluish-grey band ; palpi and thorax 

 beneath, forelegs, middle and hind femora bluish-grey ; abdomen beneath, middle 

 and hind tibiae and tarsi pale ochreous-brown.

 medial-discal white band extends anteriorly above the upper subcostal vein. 



Expanse, 6 2j^, $ 2^q inches. 



Habitat. — Lower Burma; Tenasserim ; Malay Peninsula ; Sumatra ; Borneo. 



Note. — This species has somewhat the appearance of Andropana Buryodana, on 

 both the upper and underside, even to tlie termination at the subcostal of the medial 

 disoal white band on the hindwing, but is readily distinguishable by the regular 

 inward sequence of the four lower discal white spots on the forewing, whereas, in 

 A. Duryodana the upper two of these spots are widely separated and disposed 

 obliquely outward. 



DiSTEiBDTiON. — Specimens were taken by Dr. J. Anderson in " Mergui, and at 

 Minthantoung, Lower Tenasserim, in December " (Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 36). 

 We possess a Burmese male. It occurs in the Malay Peninsula ; Capt. Pinwill took 

 it in Malacca. We have it from Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo and Sarawak. 

 Colonel C. Swinhoe has it from Perak, and Nias Island. Mr. D. Cator possesses a 

 series taken at Sandakan, N. Borneo, from January to August.
