Imago. — Male. Upperside dark brown, with a somewhat purple tint. Foreiving 

 with the costa narrowly, apex and outer margin somewhat broadly darker browu. 

 Ihndicwg with the costal margin narrowly whitish ; the outer margin broadly 

 blackish, containing a complete transverse row of seven white spots well separated from 

 the margin, and a submargiual row of rather smaller white spots, which decrease in size 

 upwards and become obsolete before reaching the apex of the wing ; in the inner 

 row, the third and fourth spots from the costa are placed a little outwards, the fifth 

 and seventh inwards ; abdominal fold whitish towards the base ; tail brown, fringed 

 with white. Cilia of both wings white. Underside silky-white. Forewing with an 

 evenly outwardly curved narrow grey band from the costa to vein 2 ; its lower end 

 rather near the sub-marginal band which is a little broader and is grey and macular. 

 Hindwivg with a somewhat irregular, similar band, nearly straight down to vein 2, 

 somewhat squarely bulged out at its middle, curving hindwards in an angular form to 

 the abdominal margin and a sub-marginal band rather broader than it is in the 

 forewing, a small sub-anal black spot, a still smaller black spot in the first 

 interspace. 



Female, like the male above and below, but the white spots on the hindwing 

 above are usually a little larger. Antennae black, ringed with white, club with an 

 orange tip ; frons white ; eyes ringed with white ; head and body above and below 

 concolorous with the wings. 



Expanse of wings, $ l-^ to IfV, ? \-ff^ to 2^% inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Mergui Archipelago, Malacca. 



Distribution. — We have both sexes from the Ataran Valley, Tenasserim ; the 

 type came from Burma, Felder's type from Malacca ; it is recorded by Elwes from 

 E. Pegu ; Doherty records it from the Chittagong Hill Tracts, and de Niceville from 

 the Donat Range.
