Imago. — Male. Upper.side very dark olive-brown, nearly black, the ba.sal third of 

 forewiug and nearly the ba.sal and abdominal half of hindwing covered with brownish- 

 ochreous hair.s. Forewing with three sub-apical, small semi-hyaline spots close together, 

 in an outward curve from clo.se to the costa, followed by two similar detached spots a 

 little outwards, one above the other, an outwardly oblique band commencing with two 

 very small semi-hyaline spots close to the costa, one above the other, a large sub- 

 (juadrate spot crossing the cell near its end, its lower part broader than its upper, a 

 .similar but more quadrate spot below and a little outwards, its upper inner end almost 

 touching the middle of the upper spot, a small round spot between them, but a little 

 outside, another similar small spot below and near to the outer lower end of the second 

 sab-quadrate spot, and another small well-separated spot inwards below. Hindwing 

 with a bright orange-ochreous small spot at the end of the cell, two between it and the 

 abdominal margin, obscured by the brownish-ochreous hairs, and a series of similar 

 discal spots, the upper one on a level with the cell spot, those towards the abdominal 

 margin nearly hidden by the hairs. Cilia of forewing brown, with a little whitish 

 towards the hinder angle, of the hindwing orange-ochreous, with brown patches at the 

 vein end.s. Underside as darkly brown as the upperside, markings similar, but in the 

 forewing the two upper very small spots of the discal band are replaced by a larger 

 .single spot which extends the band close to the costa, and two ditiused whitish spots 

 in addition at the end of the band, on the outer side parallel to the two lowest spots. 

 Antennae black, with a small portion on its upper side below the club silvery w^hite, the 

 shaft dotted with white ; palpi grey, white at the sides and below the eyes ; body above 

 and beneath and legs concolorous with the wings ; tarsi ochreous. 



Female like the male above and beneath ; in the forewing there is a white dot 

 in the sub-median interspace one-third from the base, but in some males there are 

 indications of this dot, the lowest spots of the discal band on the underside are larger, 

 and so also are all the ochreous spots above and below in the hindwing. Antennae as 

 in the male. 



E.xpanse of wings, ^ ? ly^^ to 2y% inches. 



Habitat. — Assam, Bhutan. 



DiSTRiBUTioy. — The types from Bhutan are in the Indian Museum, Calcutta ; de 

 Niceville also records it from the Khasia Hills ; our figures and descriptions are from a
