72 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



i\Iajor Godwin-Austen. Tt " occurs in Sikkim from 3000 to 10,000 feet elevation, 

 and is not rare, fl\-ing throughout the warm months from March to September" 

 (de Niceville, Sikk. Gaz. 1894, 140). Mr. H. J. Ehves (Tr. But. Soc. 188S, 370) 

 says that, in Sikkim, '■ it frequents more open phices than D. Dippea, settling with 

 open wings on branches of trees, and flying back to the same perch when disturbed." 

 Mr. G. C. Dudgeon took it in Bhotan in June. Col. C. Swinhoe records it from the 

 Khasia Hills (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 291). Mr. W. Doherty took it in the Karen Hills 

 (P. Z. S. 1891, 288). Dr. N. Manders obtained it in the " Xorthera and Southern 

 Shan States " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 526). Mr. J. H. Leech records it from Moupin 

 and Omeishan, W. China {I.e. 292).

Imago. Male. Upperside dark ochreous-brown or brownish-black ; cilia edged 

 with greyish-brown. Foreiclnrj with the basal area thickly irrorated with brownish- 

 ochreous scales ; crossed by three discal dai'k yollowisli-ochreous bands cut by the 

 veins, the inner band even and extending from close to the costa near end of the 

 cell to the submedian interspace, the middle band with its portion between the 

 middle and lower median veiulets disposed inwardly and out of line, the lower 

 portion being joined to the lower end of the inner band ; outer band narrower and 

 either entire or lunularly-macular, its lower end curved inward. Hiudwuig with 

 two rather large ochreoas-white spots on the costa; crossed by three dark yellowish- 

 ochreous bands from the subcostal, the inner-discal band less-defined, the medial 

 band being either bifid anteriorly from the middle median branch, or the outer 

 portion is there disconnected and then forms an upper short band, the third band is 

 submargiual ; beyond is a marginal lower lunular line ; the outward bauds bent 

 upward above anal angle and then extended imperceptibly up the abdominal margin; 

 sometimes two or three superposed apical small ochreous-speckled spots are present ; 

 anal lobe with a duplex jet-black spot outwardly edged by a fine white line and 

 bordered above by black spots. Underside pale yellowish-ochreous, suffused with 

 brighter ochreous at the posterior angles. Foreioing crossed by a black slender 

 basal, subbasal, two inner-discal, a short upper medial-discal, an outer-discal, a sub- 

 marginal, and then an extreme outer marginal band; these bands, except the short 

 upper medial, being continued across the hindwing to above the anal angle, and end 

 in a zigzag series of black spots ; anal lobe with prominent duplex black spot. 



Female. Upperside with the transverse bands, as in male, but broader and
