defined, and is then joined to the upper angle of the cell portion of the band ; the 

 snbmarginal spots also larger; abdominal margin fringed with long fine greyish- 

 white hairs, the fold when open displaying a longitudinal broad whitish streak, 

 bordering the submedian, containing a patch of fine long ochreous hairs. Underside 

 brown, with similar markings of a bright or dull nacreous tint, the cell-streaks and 

 submarginal spots being much larger. Forewing with the pair of upper submarginal 

 spots sometimes united. If.lncliving with the white subbasal costal streak either 

 disconnected or united to the upper angle of the cell portion of the band, and the 

 black of the apical cell-spot occasionally extending inward below the base of the 

 lower subcostal veinlet, and occasionally there are two black apical cells-spots 

 divided by the crimson lunule, the outer one being small; the crimson outer discal 

 lunules are more intense. 



Female. — Upperside with the cell streaks, and transverse band on both wings 

 narrower than in male. JUnclwinq with the subbasal costal streak ill-defined, the 

 abdominal border with a longitudinal whitish band. Underside with similar larger 

 cell-streaks and submarginal spots as in male, the transverse band on both wings as 

 on uppei'side, the abdominal margin with a longitudinal white band.

DiSTKiDUTiON, ETC. — Mr. W. Dolierty records " one male, taken at A-skot, 

 E. Kumaon, at 5,000 feet elevation " (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 136). Mr. J. H. 

 Hocking took it in the Kangra District (P. Z. S. 1882, 257). Mr. H. J. Elwes 

 found it "common in the low valleys of Sikkim from Api*il to October" (Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. 1888, 485). It also occurs in Bhotan. Col. C. Swinhoe has received " several 

 examples from the Khasia Hills " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 314). Mr. J. Wood-Mason 

 obtained " eleven males and one female in the forests ai'ound Silcuri, Cachar, from 

 May 6th to August 8th " (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 375). Dr. G. Watt took it near 

 Mauipur (Ann. Nat. Hist. 1885, 342). Mr. L. de Niceville says it " appears in 

 Calcutta in March, and specimens may be met with throughout the summer, but the 

 spring brood is the largest. The larva feeds on the young leaves of Folijalthia 

 longifolia" (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1885, 51). Mr. J. Rothney found it "rather 

 uncommon in Barrackpur, near Calcutta. It frequents the flowers of Durantia 

 Plumini " (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1882, 33). Mr. A. Grote found the " larva, in Calcutta, 

 feeding on Michelia Champa and. Uvaria longifolia" (MS. Notes). Mr. W. C. Taylor 

 records it as " not very common at Kliorda, in Orissa " (List, p. 16). Col. C. H. E.
