tlie abdominal margin at its middle and runs up it to the base in a series of indistinct 

 spots, all edged with ochreous ; a sub-terminal series of lunules enclosing two blackish

Habitat. — Sikkim, Assam, Bhutan, Sylhet, Burma, Andamans, Malay Peninsula, 

 Nias. 



Distribution. — The type, a female, is in the Banksian Caliiuet in the B. M., 

 labelled Africa, evidently in error ; Butler suggests Maulmein, Burma, which is probably 

 correct ; we have received both sexes from the Khasia Hills ; Wood-Mason and de 

 Niceville record it from the South Andaman Islands, where it is said to be common ; 

 de Niceville records it from Sikkim, Sylhet, Buxar, Perak and Rangoon ; Elwes from 

 Eastern Pegu and the Naga Hills.
