sexual brand, the basal hairs somewhat ochreous, the spots of the forewing larger. 

 Underside violet-brown. Forewing marked as above. Ilindwiiii/ with a white sub- 

 costal streak, from the base to the middle, a discal series of white spots, commencing in 

 a narrow streak in cell 6, the spots mostly oblong in shape and most of them somewhat 

 small, and indications of a sub-marginal series, not always present. 



Expanse of wings, S ? 1^^ to l-^-^ inches. 



Habitat. — Assam, Burma, Tonkin, Java, Borneo, Sumatra and Nias. 



Distribution.— He witson's type, a female, came from Sumatra ; the type of 

 orruita, also a female, from Java ; the type of altchesoni, a male, from Cachar ; we possess 

 a male from the Ataran Valley, Burma ; de Niceville and Martin record it from 

 Sumatra, and Friihstorfer from Borneo and Nias. 



Note. — Friihstorfer says,* " Herr Piepers caught in Java the aitcliesonl form of 

 male in copula with marsena female ; Herr Piepers sent me a figure of these in coitu." 

 Elwes correctly describes f the female of aitchesoni from a specimen in Coll. Staudinger, 

 which corresponds with Hewitson's type of marsena = ornata, Felder. Our figures are 

 from a male from Tenasserim and of the female from Felder's type. We have a 

 female from Nias with all the spots and streaks on the underside of the hiudwing 

 greatly reduced in size.
