Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olive-browu, both wings more or less covered 

 with dull ochreous hairs ; spots ochreous-white. Forewing with eight spots, larger 

 than in any other species of the genus, two inside the cell near its end, well separated, 

 one above the other in a slightly inwardly oblique line ; the others in a continuous 

 series, the three sub-apical spots in an outwardly oblique curve, a spot of similar size 

 below them in interspace 4, the two others in an inwardly oblique line, in the two 

 median interspaces larger, the lowest the largest, both somewhat outwardly produced ; 

 the discal stigma dull ochreous. Hindwiiiij with a line of four small discal spots of 

 equal size, two in interspace 4, and one in each of the median interspaces. Cilia of 

 both wings ochreous-white, with brown base. Underside paler, ]>oth wings covered 

 with minute, dull ochreous setse. Foveivlng with the spots as on the upperside and a 

 white smear on the outer side of the discal stigma, the inner basal space of the wing 

 blackish. Ilindwing with a white spot inside the cell, near its upper end, the discal 

 spots as on the upperside, with the addition of a spot in interspace 5. Antennae black, 

 the shaft minutely dotted with white on the underside, and smeared with white at its 

 upper end and on the basal half of the club ; palpi above with black and grey hairs, 

 pale ochreous beneath, minutely speckled with black ; head and body above concolorous 

 with the wings ; on the underside the pectus and thorax with grey hairs, the abdomen 

 whitish, legs brown, ochreous-tinted. 



Female like the male, all the spots larger, two additional spots in the discal series 

 of the forewing, one minute, close below the outer part of the spot in the first median 

 interspace, and a spot, similar in size and shape to the second discal spot, on the 

 sub-median vein ; on the underside both these extra spots are pure white. 



Expanse of wings, $ ^ 1 A ^^ lyo inches. 



Larva very like that of Udaspes folus, Imt the head was whitish, the lobes 

 bordered and separated l)y a brown line, with a brown spot in the centre of each. The 

 colour of the body is pale green, with two light stripes on the back. 



Pupa exactly like that of U. fulus, and similarly attached, colour pale green, with 

 two dorsal white lines. We got a single specimen of the larva of this on what seemed 

 to be a leaf of some species of Arum. It became a pupa the same day. (Davidson 

 and Aitken.) 



Habitat. — India, China. 



Distribution. — The type came from Shanghai, N. China, Moore's types from the 

 N.W. Himalayas, he records it from the Tonse valley, 6000 feet elevation, Gurhwal, 

 Kasaoli and Kangra ; we took it at Poona, and have received many examples of both 

 sexes from the Khasia Hills, and have it also from Sikkim ; Elwes records it from the 

 Naga Hills, de Rhe-Philipe from Masuri, Hannyngton from Kumaon, de Niceville from 

 Chin Lushai, Aitken and Comber from the Konkan, Evans from the Palni Hills, 

 Hampson from the Nilgiris, Leech from China.
