228 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



None of them rested on the whitewashed walls, liut all on the dark curtains and 

 portieres, (de Niceville and Martin.) 



Habitat. — Burma, Mergui, Ceylon, Malay Peninsula and Archipelago. 



Distribution. — Moore's types are from Java ; we have both sexes from Perak 

 and Singapore ; Distant records it from Malacca and Penang, Elwes from Java and 

 Bali, Friihstorfer from Sumatra, Moore from Mergui, and Watson from Tavoy in 

 Burma ; it is in the B. M. from Ceylon. Hiibner's name must have preference, 

 although given to the specimens he figured through error, his figures clearly 

 representing the insect.

Imago. — Male. Upperside ochreous-brown. Forewing with semi-transparent 

 yellowish-white spots, one just before the end of the cell, much constricted in its 

 middle, and a series of four spots in an almost straight, inwardly oblique line, beginning 

 with an oval spot in the upper discoidal interspace, a larger and sub-quadrate spot in 

 the second median interspace, a still larger spot, with its outer side concave in the 

 middle of the first median interspace, and a small opaque white spot in the interno- 

 median interspace on the sub-median vein. Hindwing without markings. Cilia of 

 forewing brown touched with white, of the hindwing brown with white tips at the 

 apex becoming white liindwards. Underside. Forewing brown with the costa and 

 apex broadly brownish-ochreous, striated with fine brown lines, the spots as on the 

 upperside, but with two minute spots above the uppermost spot. Hindicing uniformly 

 brownish-ochreous, entirely covered with fine brown striations, with a straight brown 

 streak below the costa from the base to the outer margin below the apex, and another 

 brown straight streak near and parallel to the abdominal margin from the base to the 

 outer margin near the anal angle, increasing in breadth hindwards. Antenna3 pale 

 ochreous marked with brown, the lower third of the club black, the anterior portion 

 white ; palpi, head and thorax paler than the colour of the wings, being covered with 

 ochreous-grey hairs with a line of dark brown hairs running down the middle, 

 abdomen brown ; on the underside the palpi and pectus are nearly white, the body 

 and legs concolorous with the hindwingjs. 



Female like the male, the spot on the sub-median vein larger, the brown area of 

 the forewing on the underside more limited, the pale costal space being much broader, 

 the hinder margin of that wing is also much longer than it is in the male.
