DEUDOEIXIN^. 21 



of the discoidal cell distinctly swollen and free of, or covered with, colourless scales in 

 the sub-costal interspace immediately anterior to the point where the first sub-costal 

 nervule arises. Without bleaching the wing of a specimen it is difficult to define these 

 characters accurately. The species may be a Deudorix, it is certainly not a Rapala, as 

 it does not possess a tuft of hairs on the inner margin of the forewing, or a scale- mark 

 on the costa of the hind wing, which are characteristic features of that genus. Described 

 from a single specimen in my collection, (de Niceville, Journ. Bo. Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 1895, p. 318.) 



Female. Upperside, both wings hair-brown with a distinct gloss in some lights. 

 Cilia cinereous. Forewing somewhat paler on the disc. Ilindwing with the costal 

 and abdominal margins somewhat paler than the rest of the surface, the anal lobe 

 bearing a small obscure black and dull ochreous .spot. Underside, both wings grey, of 

 a paler shade than in the male, but all the markings precisely the same. 



Described from two examples in my collection, (de Niceville, Journ. As. Soc. 

 Bengal, 1897, p. 560.) 



Expanse of wings, $ ly'V, ? Ijo to l-^-^ inches. 



Habitat. — Burma. 



Distribution. — Daunat Eange, Tenasserim. 



We have not seen this species, it is not represented in the B. M., we therefore give 

 copies of de Niceville's figures.
