6 LEPIDOFTEBA INDIOA. 



Adamson says " males are very common throughout Burma. From April to October 

 they frequent beds of streams, flying up and down the same with great rapidity " 

 (List, of Burm. Butt. 1897, 49). Lieut. E. Y. Watson found it "common at 

 Beeling " (J. Bombay, N. H. S. 1888, 26). " A single specimen was taken at Tilin 

 in February, and another at Choungkwa in May" (/tZ. I.e. 1891, 54). It was found 

 " not uncommon at the foot of the K. Chin Hills, in May " {id. I.e. 1897, 672). 

 Mr. de Niceville also records it from " Chin Lushai, March ; and Lamtok in April " 

 {I.e. 1890, 6). Mr. H. J. Blwes records "numerous males, but no females, from 

 Ponsekai and the Hills, Tavoy " (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 437). Mr. F. de Roepstorff 

 obtained it at "Port Blair, S. Andamans " (P. Z. S. 1877, 593, J. As. Soc. Beug. 

 1880, 238).

Imago. — Male. LTpperside black. Forewing with four pale emerald-green cell- 

 streaks and a small spot at its end, a smaller less-apparent streak also below base of 

 the cell, a transverse inner-discal oblique macular band of eight spots, the upper 

 three being small, the lower five increasing postei'iorly in size and length, followed 

 by a submarginal row of small mostly quadrate spots. Cilia black. Hindicing with 

 a pale emerald-green transverse subbasal posteriorly-decreasing band, which is 

 broadly intersected by black-bordered veins, the two costal ^^ortions being white ; 

 sometimes there is also a dot or a very small contiguous spot in the upper median 

 interspace ; beyond is a submarginal row of mostly-quadrate spots ; abdominal 

 margin broadly white, the scent-organ absent. Cilial lunules slenderly white. 

 Underside sepia-brown, with similar markings, as on uppcrside, of a bright nacreous 

 tint, the cell-streaks and submarginal spots being much larger. Foreiving with the
