^^■^8 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA 



dd^e ; when at rest the fourth sesfment is more than twice as kjnsr as the head ; the 

 head is trianguh^r when seen from in front and narrowly l)ih)bed and small for the body. 



The imago rests with its wings closed over its back, but basks generally with them 

 half open. (Davidson, Bell and Aitkeu.) 



Habitat. — Burma, Assam, South India. 



Distribution. — The types are from Tenasserim ; de Niceville records it from 

 Sibsaghor in Upper Assam, Akyab, Rangoon, and the Donat Range, Elwes from the 

 Karen Hills, AVatsou from the Chin Hills, Fergusson from Travancore ; it is in our col- 

 lection from Rangoon, Silchar in Cachar, Sibsaghor, and Karwar, where Davidson, Bell 

 and Aitken bred it, and we have received many examples from the Khasia Hills ; it is 

 A-ery near to A. pullu/o, JNIabille, from the Malay Archipelago, but that species is more 

 uniformly coloured above and below, and apparently never has any indications of spots 

 or fasciae on the underside. Our figures of the larva and pupa are from Davidson's 



original drawings.
