324 LEPIDOPTERA INDIOA. 



Imago. — Male. Upperside dark brown. Forewing with eight semi-diaphanous 

 ochreous-white small spots, two of equal size in the cell near its end, one above the 

 other, three sub-apical dots in an outwardly oblique curve, another below them and 

 two somewhat larger discal spots in the second and first median interspaces, all in a 

 continuous series. Himlwiiuj without markings. Cilia brown. Underside nearly as 

 dark as the upperside, .spots similar, the basal middle of the wing blackish. Hiiuhi:ing 

 without any markings. Antennae black, with minute white dots on the shaft beneath, 

 and white on the basal half of the club ; palpi with black and white hairs above, white 

 beneath ; head and body concolorous with the wings, below the pectus and anal half of 

 abdomen are whitish, legs brown. 



Female like the male, but there is an extra white spot in the discal series of the 

 forewing on the sub-median vein. 



In a male example from Trevandrum and in a female example from Sikkim, which 

 are otherwise identical, there are one or two white discal dots on the underside of the 

 hindwing. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? I^q- to l-/^ inches. 



Habitat. — Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Burma, Sikkim, South India. 



DiSTRiBUTioisr. — The type came from Java, the type of cerse from Burma ; we 

 have a male from Thyetmyo, a male from Trevandrum, a female from Ivolgaum, near 

 Bombay, taken l)y us, and a female from Sikkim ; in markings it is very like mathias, 

 but its colour is altogether different to tliat of any of its allies. Adamson records it 

 from the Chindwin Valley, de Niceville and Martin from Sumatra, Elwes from Bali 

 and Pulo Laut ; it is a widely spread but rare species.
