in continuation of the discal series. Ilindwlng with the costa narrowly, the abdominal 

 fold, and a broad discal band, of minute whitish scales. Antennae black, with white 

 spots on the underside, the club smeared with white, the tip tinted with red ; palpi, 

 head and liody concolorous with the wings, with ochreous-grey hairs ; on the underside 

 the palpi, pectus and abdomen with ochreous-white and blackish hairs and some 

 similar hairs on the thorax, legs brown above, ochreous-grey beneath. 



Female like the male, but on the upperside there is an additional white spot to 

 the discal series of the forewing, on the sidj-median vein, about the size of the spot in 

 the second median interspace ; and on the underside of the hindwing there are three 

 minute white discal dots in interspaces 2, 3 and 6. 



Expanse of wings, $ ^ ly'g to 1^-^ inches. 



Davidson, Bell and Aitken say : " This insect, of which we have never reared 

 or discovered the larva, was unknown to us until last year, when we found it plentiful 

 in the same localities as B. oocia, Hewitson ; it has the habits of this latter species in 

 that it is only found Ijasking in the eaidy morning sun and just before sundown, but it 

 frequents the borders of the ojaen glades in the jungle, whereas B. oceia prefers the 

 small spaces under high trees where the ground is covered with weeds. Single 

 specimens have been caught near Karwar on the coast. The females are extremely 

 rare, as only the males bask. It is a rapid flier." 



Habitat. — Kanara, South India. 



Distribution. — The type came from Karwar ; we have received several examples 

 from that locality ; our description and figures are from a pair in our collection.
