54 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



trichonnira iu haviiio; the band on the lower third of the wing orance-ochreous, not 

 pale yellowish as iu that species. Underside. Forewing somewhat paler, the spots 

 somewhat ochreous ; two additional sub-marginal spots near the hinder angle, wuth two 

 diffuse spots above them ; the streaks through the cell and interno-median interspace 

 also ochreous. Hindwing with the orange-ochreous colour paler, and covers nearly all 

 the wing with some dull blue basal suffusion, leaving the costa narrowly blackish, the 

 apex more broadly blackish, the upper interspaces with black streaks ; palpi grey, 

 thorax beneath brown with whitish hairs, abdomen beneath whitish, legs ochreous- 

 brown ; head and body above brown. 



Female similar to the male on the upperside. Underside with the orange space 

 generally paler than it is above, and of about the same extent, the discal series of black 

 streaks similar, but the orange-ochreous colour runs up between them, and through and 

 on each side of the cell. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? 1^ to 2 inches. 



Habitat. — Sikkim, Assam, Burma, Perak. 



Distribution. — The types are marked Bengal ; we have received several examples 

 from the Khasia Hills, and have it from Sikkim and the Ataran Valley, Burma ; it is 

 in the Hancock Museum, Newcastle, from Tenasserim, taken by Adamson ; Moore also 

 records it from the same locality ; Elwes and de Niceville record it from Tavoy, Elwes 

 from E. Pegu and Perak, and de Niceville from Sikkim ; the Javan form named nava 

 by Friihstorfer is undoubtedly a distinct local form, differing from the Indian and 

 Burmau examples on the underside.
