Imago. — Male. Upperside dark brown. Forevjing with a recurved discal series of 

 obscure minute pale dots. Hlndwing unmarked. Cilia of both wings white with 

 Ijrown patches and a brown base. Underside paler brown, the outer half of the 

 costal area of the forewing broadly, and the entire surface of the hindwing covered 

 with minute greenish-ochreous scales. Forewing with the discal series of dots as on 

 the upperside, but usually more distinct. Hindwing with indications of discal and 

 sub-marginal series of very obscure pale spots. Antennae black, whitish beneath ; 

 palpi with grey and white hairs ; head and body above and below concolorous with 

 the wings, thorax beneath and the pectus with grey hairs. 



Female like the male, the discal dots of the forewing on the upj^erside often not 

 visible, on the underside there is an ochreous dot at the end of the cell of the forewing, 

 and a discal and a sub-marginal series of somewhat obscure ochreous dots in both wings. 



Expanse of wings, ^ $ ^ to 1 inch. 



Habitat. — Sikkim, Assam, Burma. 



Distribution. — The type is from Sikkim ; we have received many examples from 

 the Khasia and Jaintia Hills ; Watson records it from Touncroo and Elwes from 

 Bernardmyo ; Fergusson records it from Travancore, but his record probably refers to 

 yEromachus duhius of Elwes and Edwards, which closely resembles this species.
