Imago. — Male. Upperside dark blackish-brown. Foreiciiu] with two sub-apical, 

 semi-hyaline whitish dots near tlie costa and sometimes two very minute dots below 

 them ; an erect band across tlie middle of the wing, composed of two white somewhat 

 lunular lines that run parallel to each other from the sub-median vein to the lower end 

 of the cell, the inner line then curves a little inwards to the costa, the outer line well 

 outwards to the sub-apieal dots, a similar line across the wing close to the base, a post- 

 discal faint band, slightly paler than the ground colour. Hiiidiclmj with similar white 

 lines, in continuation of those of the forewing, one at the base, a nearly straight and 

 thick line from the middle of the costa to the middle of the abdominal margin, another 

 from the costa, highly sinuous, deeply bent outwards, then curving inwards on to the 

 abdominal margin, a little below the end of the other line, some white marks below the 

 apex, the remaining part of the wing hindwards white, with a sub-marginal grey band, 

 one or two diffuse l)rown spots in this band near the anal angle. Cilia of both wings 

 concolorous with the wings. Underside. Foreiciivj paler than on the upperside, 

 markings similar but indistinct, the base of the wing has a few whitish scales and the 

 pale post-discal l)and more prominent than it is on the upperside. Ilindiclnij white, 

 with some bluish-grey basal sufiusion, three rather large sub-costal spots between the 

 grey suffusion and the apex, one at the apex connected with another spot below^ it on 

 the outer margin, two spots on their inner side, two small sul)-marginal spots near the 

 anal angle, and a black outer marginal line. Antennaj black, the clul_> white beneatli ; 

 palpi white beneath with some ochreous hairs ; head and Ijody above blackish-brown, 

 abdomen smeared with white on the terminal half; below, the thorax and legs are grey, 

 the abdomen white ; this white area, however, differs somewhat in degree in both sexes 

 in different examples. 



Female only differs from the male in having a larger white space on the upperside 

 of the hindwing, the white extending upwards in the middle up to the inner middle line. 



Expanse of wings, $ % 1 1 to lyV inches. 



Habitat. — Borneo, Perak, Malay Peninsula, Burma. 



Distribution. — The type is Bornean, we have it from Sumatra, Ehves records it 

 from Perak, Palawan Philippines, the Karen Hills and E. Pegu, and it is in the Hancock 

 Museum, Newcastle, from Tavoy, taken Ijy Adamson in October, 1893. It is a slightly 

 varia].)le species, and we have failed to recognise any real specific differences between the 

 Sumatran, Javau and Bornean (typical) forms.
