•2S LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 



basal near the abdominal margin, two spots one above the other at the end of the cell, 

 a discal outwardly curved double series of spots ending in curves and short lunular 

 marks before reaching the abdominal margin, a black anal spot, outwardly fringed with 

 white, a small black spot on each of the next two interspaces with metallic blue 

 scales on them both, and a brown waved line above them, anteciliary line also brown. 



Female. Upperside brown. Forewing without markings. Hindwing with a 

 largish white patch at the anal angle, a black spot on the anal lobe, another in the first 

 interspace, with a little brownish suffusion between them, an anteciliary black line, 

 with an inner white thread outside the spots. Underside pure white, markings dark 

 chocolate-brown, disposed as in the male, but the spots on the hindwing are smaller, 

 and the anal spots are on dark greyish ground. 



Expanse of wings, $ 1^, $ ly\ inches. 



Habitat. — Andamans ; types in the B. M. 



Marked areca, Felder, but very different from that Nikobar species, especially on 

 the underside, the colour is quite different, and areca on the underside has hardly any 

 visible markings, the only prominent mark being a very thin white straight line from 

 the costa of the forewing, near the apex, which runs down the wing for a short 

 distance ; the bands are of a very different shape and colour, and are so obscure as 

 to be only visible in certain lights.

Imago. — Male. Upperside black. Forewing somewhat paler towards the apex, 

 but with no markings. Hindwing with the abdominal area pale, a small ochi-eous- 

 white patch at the anal angle, a small black spot in the white anal lobe, another in the

 patch, where it is ochreous-white. Underside pale chocolate-brown, slightly tinted 

 with ochreous, markings darker brown, with ochreous-white edges. Forewing with a 

 short broad medial band, crossing the end of the cell, from near the costa to the median 

 vein, a discal Ijand with irregular margins from the costa to the sub-median vein, 

 narrowing hiudwards almost to a point, and indications of a sub-marginal band. 

 Ilindwiug with a small sub-costal spot near the base and a twin spot below it, well 

 separated from it ; another twin spot just outside the latter, a discal outwardly well- 

 curved series of spots inwardly edged with ochreous-white, outwardly with dark brown
