222 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



are two white streaks attached to the lower end of the discal band of spots. Hindwing 

 with the apex broadly white, the white colour narrowing down the outer margin. 



Expanse of wings, $ % 2 inches. 



Habitat.— Burma, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra. 



Distribution. — The type, a female, came from Sumatra, there is a female in the 

 B. M. from Tavoy in Burma, from which our figures are taken, which exactly resembles 

 Hewitson's type ; Plotz's type is also from Sumatra, Distant records it from the Malay 

 Peninsula, de Niceville from Toungoo and the Daunat Range, Burma ; in our paper in 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. 1908 we ^put jxtrthenope and its allies as synonyms to calathus as Elwes 

 and Edwards have done, but we have been able to examine more material since then. 

 Hewitson's type female is so very different to any of the females of the parthenope 

 group we think it best to keep them separate.

Imago. — Male. Upperside purple-black. Forewing with three dull yellowish, 

 tliin, indistinct streaks on the basal third, one above the cell, one in the cell and one 

 on the su1>median vein; two elongate-oval white spots at the end of the cell, one 

 above the other, not c[uite touching each other, a similar spot outside, near the base 

 of the second median interspace, and one three times the size near the base of the 

 first median interspace, its outer edge concave, a small white sjDot below on the middle 

 of the sub-median vein. Hindicing with the costa narrowly pale, a yellowish-white 

 short streak on it before the apex, a short, rather broad yellowish-white band in the 

 upper middle of the wing, a similarly coloured short streak on the abdominal margin 

 in continuation of it, with a narrow whitish streak between them from the base of 

 the wing. Cilia of both wings blackish-brown, becoming yellowish-white towards the 

 anal angle of the hindwing. Underside coloured like the upperside, perhaps a trifie 

 paler. Forewing with the white spots as above ; between the cell spots and the costa 

 there is a large yellowish-white patch, the hinder marginal space is broadly pale and 

 has in its middle, just above the hinder margin, two suffused white spots close 

 together. Hindicing with the transverse yellowish-white band broader and carried 

 up to the costa, broadening upwards, the spot on the abdominal margin much 

 larger, the streak between it and the lower end of the band absent. Antennae black,
