286 LEPIDOPTEEA INDICA. 



it ; two somewhat indistinct, dark, short streaks outside the two lower siil)-apical 

 spots. HindwiiKj uniformly dull, dark ochreous, with a discal series of greyish- 

 brown spots, in some specimens pale and indistinct, in some dark and prominent (in 

 these there is a greyish marginal band), abdominal fold somewhat whitish. Antennae 

 iilack, the shaft minutely oclireous-spotted on its underside, the club with ochreous tip 

 and ochreous beneath ; palpi, head and body above dark brown, ochreous-white beneath, 

 less also ochreous-white. 



Female like the male, the wings more elongate, all the spots of the forewing 

 much larger and paler in colour, the ochreous band of the hindwing broader and 

 extendino; more hindwards. 



Expanse of wings, $ 1-j^^, $ 1-^q inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Tonkin. 



Distribution. — The type, a female, described and figured as a male by IMoore in 

 error, came from Tavoy ; we possess a male from the Atarau Valley ; Watson records it 

 from Tilin Yaw, Upper Burma, and from the Chin Hills, Adamson from Tenasserim 

 and Singoo in the Shan Hills, 4,000 feet elevation, Friihstorfer from Tonkin ; it is a 

 rare species ; Elwes' and de Niceville's figure of the male is too small and too brightly 

 coloured on the underside.

Imago. — Male. Upperside brown, with an ochreous tint ; spots dark orange-ochreous. 

 Forewing with the basal half covered with short ochreous hairs in the interspaces ; 

 spots much as in T. masoni, but larger and longer, sub-quadrate, the upper two of the 

 discal series large, larger than the cell spots, the lower about twice as large as the 

 upper, the two spots below them small. Hlndicing with all but the extreme margins 

 covered with long ochreous hairs ; a large ochreous patch in the disc, quite differently 

 shaped to that in T. masoni, divided by the brown veins into three lengthened spots 

 which extend almost to the outer margin, filling interspaces 2, 3 and 4, a small brown 

 spot in each of the two lower ochreous interspaces (not always present), and a small 

 ochreous spot attached to the outer end of the patch. Cilia of both wings ochreous, 

 with a brown base. Underside. Forewing with the costa increasingly, the apex 

 broadly, the outer margin decreasingly dull, dark ochi'eous, all the rest of the wing
