256 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



Distribution. — The types are recorded from Sikkim and E. Pegu ; our description 

 iind figures are from a male from Toungoo in the B. M., and a female in our collection 

 from Sikkim, which has long been separated as a new species waiting for a male before 

 describing it ; Elwes and Edwards say that the genitalia differs from that of dara ; it is, 

 we believe, quite distinct from dara, but is very near satra from Ceylon ; there are also 

 two males in the B. M. marked Dauuat Range, taken by Bingham.

Imago. — Male. A much smaller insect than P. dara, markings somewhat similar, 

 as is the case in so many of this genus ; the golden-yellow colour on the wings is 

 distinctly paler. Forewing with a costal brown line, the cell and space above it 

 golden-yellow, a short brown streak from the base within the cell, the veins running 

 through the yellow space brown ; the medial browu band has even edges on both sides, 

 not sinuous as in P. dara, and curves up more abruptly, otherwise the markings are 

 similar. Ilindwuig as in dara, but the discal yellow band has an extra .small spot 

 attached to (sometimes slightly separated from) its upper end. Cilia of both wings 

 yellow, with browu patches on the forewing. Underside with the markings much as 

 in dara, but the ground colour of both wings is suifused with rich orange-ochreous, the 

 outer margin of the forewing is of that colour except at the hinder angle, the outer
