214 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



long spot in the first median interspace and a long narrow streak in the interno- 

 median interspace ; a long narrow streak near the lower end of the cell attached to the 

 inner upper half of the largest spot, with a small elongated spot above and well 

 separated from it. Ilindwing with a short pale ochreous, semi-hyaline discal hand, 

 filling up more than the basal halves of interspaces 2, 3 and 4, and extending hindwards 

 a little below interspace 2. Cilia of both wings ochreous-white, becoming darker 

 ochreous towards the anal angle of the hind wing. Underside with the ground colour 

 ochreous-grey tinged with pinkish. Forewing with the spots as above, costal line 

 black, a black streak through the cell, some black at the base and the end of the cell, 

 continued in a streak above the uppermost discal spot ; a series of short, black 

 sub-marginal streaks from the apex ending in a large black space outside the discal 

 spots, filling the hinder angle and extending up the hinder margin. Hindwing with 

 all the cell and the interspaces on both sides of the discal band with short black 

 streaks, the streaks near the abdominal margin continued to the base of the wing and 

 terminating hindwards in a large black patch at the anal angle. Antennae broken ; 

 palpi and thorax above touched with ochreous hairs, the body above is concolorous 

 with the wings, abdomen with pale ochreous segmental bands ; on the underside the 

 palpi, pectus and abdomen are ochreous-grey, the thorax blackish, the abdomen with 

 bauds as on the upperside ; the legs ochreous. 



Expanse of wings, $ I^q inches. 



Habitat. — Java, Burma. 



DiSTRiBDTiox. — Felder's type, kindly lent to us by the Honourable Walter 

 Rothschild, and from which our description and figures are taken, is from Java ; Elwes 

 and Edwards record it from Eastern Pegu ; it must be a very rare species ; we liave 

 never obtained it, and it is not in the B. M. ; it is altogether quite difterent from latoia, 

 with which Watson put it ; the spots on the discal band of the forewings in Felder's 

 figure are too small.

Imago. — Male. Upperside black. Forewing with a fusiform chrome-yellow 

 streak on the costa from the base to nearly half the length of the wing, a similarly 

 coloured streak placed below the median nervure and divided by the sub-median into 

 two unequal parts, the lower portion the smaller, extending to rather more than half
