PAMPEILINM. 1-29 



sometimes there are as many as five, decreasing in size hindwards, sometimes none at 

 all. liindwing without markings. Cilia of both wings brown, with yellow marks. 

 Underside. Forewintj dark brown, a sub-costal chrome-yellow streak from the base to 

 the end of the cell, from thence, round the apex increasing in length, and down the 

 outer margin, shortening in length, the veins are thickly streaked with the same colour, 

 down to the end of the first medial nervule, and from thence to the apex there is a 

 thick chrome-yellow band composed of conjoined spots. liindwing with the actual 

 ground colour dark brown, but all the veins are so thickly chrome-yellow, with some 

 of them connected with each by a sort of transverse band, especially one, sub-marginal, 

 as to give tlie wing the appearance of being chrome-yellow with brown spots ; an outer 

 marginal band also of chrome-yellow conjoined spots. Antennae black, with thin white 

 rings, club white on the underside ; palpi, head and body concolorous with the wings ; 

 abdomen whitish on the underside. 



Female like the male. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ? f^ to 1 inch. 



Habitat. — N.W. Himalayas, Sikkim, Assam, Burma. 



Distribution. — The types of suhvittatus came from the Salween district, Burma ; 

 the types of ■■^ubradiatus from the Khasia Hills ; it is in our collection from the Khasia 

 Hills and Sikkim ; it has been recorded by Doherty and by Hannyngton from Kumaon, 

 by Watson from the Chin Hills, by Elwes from the Naga Hills, and by Adamson from 

 Upper and Lower Burma. Wood-Mason and de Niceville's figures are very misleading ; 

 they have represented the insect many times too large, without saying so. 



Sub-Family ASTICTOPTERIN^. 



Antennae with the club long, gradual, tip acuminate, bent over ; palpi more or 

 less porrect, second joint well clothed, thii-d joint moderate, more or less slender. F'ore- 

 icing, vein 12 ends on costa at or before end of cell, 1 1 curves upwards and nearly touches 

 12, but does not anastomose with it ; cell long, about two-thirds the length of the costa, 

 vein 3 emitted about one -fourth or less from lower end of cell, 2 from, or from a little 

 before or beyond the middle. Hindwing, vein 7 from iiear the upper end of cell, 

 discocellulars and vein 5 faint, 3 from near lower end of cell, 2 from beyond the middle ; 

 hind tibise with two pairs of spurs, fore tibiae with epiphysis.
