Imago. — INIale and Female. Upperside dark olive-ljrown, very uniform in shade 

 of colour and without any markings in either sex. Cilia pale Ijrowu with an inner 

 darker brown band. Underside paler, of a somewhat pinkish tint, with indications of 

 transverse slightly darker fasciae, not always present.

Habitat. — Burma, Sikkim, Assam. 



Distribution. — The type came from Salween, jNIaulmein ; recorded by Watson 

 from Beeling and the Chin Hills, by Elwes from Margharita in Upper Assam and 

 the Naga and Shan Hills, by Hannyngton from Kumaon, by Wood-Mason and 

 de Niceville from Cachar. We have it from the Ataran Valley and Yoongalun, Burma, 

 and Karwar in S. India, and have numerous examples of both sexes from the Khasia 

 Hills. Moore and Wood-Mason and de Niceville described (the latter figured) the 

 female of ^1. ladd, Swinhoe, as the female of this species ; the female of ullvascens is 

 always plainly coloured like the male, without any white sub-apical spots in the 

 forewing.
