90 LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 



Habitat. — India. 



Distribution. — A common species all over India ; Moore records it from Bombay, 

 Umballa, Kasaoli and Kangra ; we took it at Bombay, Poona, Mhow, Karachi and Sind, 

 Hyderabad ; we have it also from Rauikhet, Dhera Dhun, Pachmari and Karwar, where 

 Davidson, Bell and Aitkeu bred it ; de Rhe-Philipe records it from Masuri, Betham from 

 Matheran, Hannyngton from Kumaon, Doherty from Kunawar. It does not appear to 

 extend into Burma or Ceylon.

Imago. — Male. Upper.side coloured like S. jnirendi^a, a little darker. Forewhiij 

 witii three similar sub-apical dots, a minute dot at the upper end of the cell, with 

 another above it, a very indistinct discal band and indications of a similar middle band, 

 both very slightly darker than the ground colour. Hindicing with indications of a 

 discal and a marginal band. Underside much paler, the bands consequently more 

 pronounced, the hindwing with some grey suft'usion between the bands and along the 

 abdominal area, caused by minute greyish-white scaling. Cilia as in S. purendra. 



Female similar to the male, but in the forewing there is an additional dot below 

 the cell, all three being in a line, and there is a dot in the second median interspace a 

 little before its middle. Underside similarly marked, the coloration and bands as in 

 the male. Antennae, palpi, body and legs much as in purendrn. 



Expanse of wing.s, $ $ 1^ to l-j% inches. 



Habitat.— India, Burma. 



Distribution. — The types came from Bengal ; it seems to be common all over 

 India and extends into Burma. We have it from the Khasia Hills, Ranikhet, Sikkim 

 and Rangoon, Moore records it from Kangra and Mergui, Elwes from the Naga and
