68 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



" Described from a single example taken at Kangmong in Hsenwi, Nortli 

 Shan States, in March, 1895, by Major F. B. Longe, R.E. It is near to D. Dqjxa, 

 differing therefrom in its smaller size, the clearer ochreous shade of the ground-colour 

 on the underside, all the bands and spots being pure white instead of a more or less 

 ochreous or silvery, and the anal lobe being bisected by an ochreous line."
