PAVILIONING. 75 



Foreiving with tlie cell-sti'eaks and apical area sparsely ferruginous scaled ; a small 

 prominent white spot at lower end of the cell, a submarginal incomplete, or complete 

 row of small white dentate spots, and marginal dentate-lunules. Hindwing basally 

 more or less irrorated with ferruginous scales ; the upper-discal patch, as on upper- 

 side, white, its portions being narrower and smaller, and in some specimens, with 

 decreasing portions continued to the abdominal margin ; beyond is a complete row 

 of submarginal white dentate-lunules, and then slender cilial lunules. Both/ dark 

 brown ; front of thorax, collar, and palpi black, spotted with white; abdomen with 

 ji sublateral and lateral rows of white spots ; antennae and legs black, fore femora 

 white beneath. 



Female. Upperside dark ochi'eous-brown, ferruginous-scaled. Foreiving with 

 a large white spot at lower end of the cell, a submarginal row of conical-dentate 

 spots — the series varying in size in different specimens, and marginal row of cihal 

 dentate spots. In many specimens there is also a lower discal series of upward- 

 decreasing faint sullied grey-scaled streaks. Hindiving with the cell, or its apical half 

 only, filled up with sullied grey-scaled streaks, and the outer interspaces between 

 the veins from their base to the outer disc, also filled up with sullied grey scales ; 

 beyond is a submarginal row of prominent white dentate-lunules, and then marginal 

 slender cilial lunules. Underside duller coloured than the upperside. Foreiving with 

 larger prominent white spot at lower end of the cell, submarginal and marginal spots 

 and lower discal sullied-white sti'eaks. Hindioing with the cell streaks and discal 

 interspaces, as on upperside, sullied-white or grey scaled, the submarginal dentate 

 lunules larger and prominently white ; the marginal cilial lunules white. 



Female. Var. (Plate 497, fig. 1, la, b). — Upperside. Foreiving with either very 

 small or moderate-sized cell spot and submarginal row of spots and marginal 

 dentate-lunules. Hindtring with a discal transverse sullied-white band sparsely 

 speckled with brown scales ; a few sullied-white scales are also sometimes present 

 within apex of the cell ; submarginal dentate-lunules either narrow or moderately 

 broad. Underside. Foreiving with large white cell-spot, submarginal spots, and 

 small dentate marginal lunules, and faint lower discal intervening speckled streaks. 

 Hindwing with discal transverse band as on upperside, but somewhat whiter, sub- 

 marginal row of broader white lunules and narrow cilial lunules. 



Expanse, c? 3| to 4|, ? 4 to 5 inches. 



Habitat. — Sikkim ; Assam ; Naga, Cachar, and Khasia Hills ; Upper Burma ;

DiSTKiBUTiON. — Mr. H. J. Elwes records it as " not uncommon in Sikkim, up to 

 2,000 or 3,000 feet elevation, from April till October, but the females are less often 

 procured than the males" (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, 437). Mr. L. de Niceville says it 

 "flies, in Sikkim, from 1,000 to 3,000 feet, from April to October" (Sikk. Gaz.
