84 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



four very broadly capped with a coatiuuous orange band, indications of a continuation 

 of small lunular black marks up the margin, marginal line black, with an inner white 

 thread ; tails black, tipped and ciliated with white. Cilia of forewing l;>rov.Ti at its base, 

 dull orange at the tips; of the hindwing white, with an orange-grey band in it. 

 Underside white, with a pale bluish tint, markings orange-ochreous. Forewing with a 

 double bar at the end of the cell, a discal band of conjoined lunules from near the costa 

 to the submedian vein, very slightly outwardly curved, a post-discal very similar but 

 narrower and paler band, the costa of the wing narrowly and the outer marginal 

 portion broadly suffused with orange-ochreous. Hindwing with a somewhat similar 

 discal band, somewhat dislocated at vein 6 and again at 4, where the band is pushed 

 a little outwards, and curves at its lower end in a W-shaped form to the abdominal 

 margin a third above the anal angle, a post-discal band somewhat nearer the margin 

 than it is in the forewing, which becomes lost hindwards in a large sub-marginal orange 

 patch above the anal angle, and in this patch is a large sub-terminal black spot in 

 interspace 2, a black anal spot ringed with white, a faint thin band upwards close to 

 the margin, a black terminal line and white inner thread. Antennse black, ringed with 

 white, club with an orange tip ; palpi white, with a brown stripe above, last joints 

 brown ; head and body above and below coucolorous with the wings. 

 Female, like the male above and beneath. 

 Expanse of wings, ^ ? 1 jV to 1^ o inches. 

 Habitat. — Burma, Nikobar Islands, Malay Peninsula, Borneo. 

 Distribution. — The type, a female, came from Singapore ; Distant records it 

 from the Malay Peninsula, de Niceville from Nankowri, Katschall, the Great Nikobars 

 and the Mergui Archipelago; our description and figures are from Felder's type, 

 female, and from a male example in the B. M.

Imago.— Male. Upperside brown. Forewing without markings, but shading 

 darker at the costa and outer margin. Hindwing with the abdominal fold grey, with 

 a white cilia, a small black spot on the inner side of the anal lobe, and a still smaller 

 and indistinct black spot in each of the next two interspaces, the two latter capped 

 with dull orange, and all three outwardly edged with white ; tails Ijlaok, tipped and
