and outer margiual portions, blackish-brown on the rest of the wing, spots as on the 

 upperside, the lowest spot of the discal series white, not ochreous, more expanded, 

 and suffused, llindwimj uniformly darker brown tinted with ochreous. the cell spt)t 

 faint, often absent, the three discal spots as on the upperside, but somewhat smaller 

 and pure white. Antennae black, the shaft dotted with white on the underside, the 

 club with an ochreous tip, and an ochreous streak on the liasal half of the underside ; 

 head and body aliove concolorous with the wings ; on the underside the palpi and 

 pectus are greyish-white, and there are some similarly coloured hairs and sette on the 

 thorax and abdomen ; the linear discal stigma on the forewing black. 



Female darker than the male both above and below, without the ochreous tint, and 

 without the dull greyish-ochreous streaks in and aljov^e the cell on the upperside of the 

 forewing, and the underside of both wings has a pinkish tint ; the spots as in the male. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? If'^- to l\ inches. 



Habitat. — Assam, Sikkim, Burma. 



Distribution. — The type came from the Khasia Hills, from whence we have received 

 many examples of Ijoth sexes ; we have it also from Sikkim, sent to us by Irvine ; 

 Elwes records it also from Peofu and from Bernardmvo.

Imago. — Male. Upperside much resembling the upperside of -.1. siva, but lighter in 

 colour and more ochreous, the basal portion of both wings much more ochreous-tinted ; * 

 the sul)-costal streak of the forewing is broader, with similar dull ochreous-grey streaks 

 on the basal portions of the interspaces, all more or less suffused together ; the lowest 

 spot of the sub-apical three somewhat elongate, an extra dot at the costa in the discal 

 series of the hindwing, the elongated spot in the iuterno-median interspace narrower 

 than it is in siva, the discal stigma with a white middle streak, in siva it is black. 

 Underside paler, more strongly pink-tinted, the sub-apical spots of the forewing 

 usually absent, the discal series more obscure, the upper ones and the cell .spots 

 sometimes obsolescent ; in the hindwing the discal series is very obscure. Autennse 

 black, the shaft on the underside dotted with white, the club pinkish beneath. 



* The coloration of Moore's figure is much too ochreous and is very misleading.
