comparatively broader, the grouiicl colour somewhat paler. Forewlng with only six 

 semi-hyaline white spots, the spot in interspace 4 being absent ; on the underside 

 the ground colour is much paler than in austeni and somewhat rufous-tinted. 

 Antennae, palpi, head, body and legs as in austeni. 



Female like the male, with an extra small white spot in the discal series of the 

 forewing on tlie suli-median vein. 



Expanse of wings, <? $ 1^ to 2 inches. 



Habitat. — Andaman and Nikobar Islands. 



Distribution. — The type, a male in the B. M., came from Port Blair ; the female 

 originally described by Moore as cahira $ is a female of Baoris farri, Moore ; in 

 so far as we have been able to ascertain, this species is confined to the Andamans and 

 Nicobar Islands, where it appears to be common ; we have both sexes from Port 

 Blair, Aberdeen, in the Andamans, and from Nankowry in the Nikobars. Elwes and 

 Edwards describe the genitalia as follows : — " Lower discal angle of the lower lobe of 

 clasp rounded, not produced. The two lobes forming the apex of the tegumen (seen 

 from beneath) rather broad, curved, and conuivent at apex." Moore's figure of the 

 male is misleading, and does not correspond with his description. Elwes' and Edwards' 

 figure of the female is very good ; our figures are from a male from Port Blair and 

 a female from Nankowry.

Imago. — Male. Upperside blackish-brow^n, with a vinous tint. Forewing with 

 the spots white, semi-diaphanous ; two sub-apical minute dots outwardly oblique, 

 sometimes three, sometimes only one, and often none at all ; two spots in the disc, 

 the lower the larger, close to the bases of the second and first median interspaces, a 

 small spot in the cell near its end, close to its lower margin ; in some examples there 

 is a small additional spot or dot, in a line above the two discal spots. Hindwin<i 

 without markings. Cilia cinereous, whitish hindwards on both wdngs. Underside 

 nearly as dark as the upperside, the spots of the forewing as above ; an additional
