Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olive-brown. Forewing with a short straight 

 brand of raised black scales from the middle of the sub- median uervure to the base of 

 the second median nervule, and a very indistinct upper discal series of pale dots. 

 Hindwing without markings. Cilia grey. Underside paler. Forewing with some 

 minute whitish scales on the costa and outer portions and on the veins ; a discal 

 curved series of whitish spots from near the costa to the first median interspace, one 

 in each interspace, and indications of a similar sub-marginal series. Hindwing more 

 or less entirely covered with minute whitish scales, two narrow whitish sub-marginal 

 bands, the veins whitish, the bands with dark spots between them and on each side 

 filling up the interspaces between the whitish veins, and a largish round blackish 

 spot outwardly edged with whitish at the end of the cell. Antennae blackish- 

 brown, unmarked ; palpi, head and body concolorous with the wings, palpi and abdomen 

 whitish on the underside. 



Female only difters from the male in having no brand on the upperside of the 

 forewing. 



Expanse of wrings, J $ -^q to 1 inch. 



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



Distribution^'. — The types are from Masuri, 7,000 feet elevation ; it is in our 

 collection from Ranikhet, Mandi, Kulu, and Sikkim ; we have received many examples 

 from the Khasia Hills ; recorded by Hannyngton from Kumaon, by Elwes from the 

 Naga Hills, by de Niceville from the Palni Hills in South India, and by Friihstorfer 

 from Tonkin, but the last two records probably refer to the following species.
