EYPOLTCJENINM 91 



apical black baud, occupying nearly half the wing space, continued narrowly along the 

 costal margin, extending into the outer half of the cell, and the base of the first median 

 interspace in a somewhat square patch, and then narrowing gradually down the outer 

 margin to the hinder angle, vein 2 black, the blue space limited to the basal half of 

 the cell, the middle portion of the sub-median interspace and the remaining lower 

 portion of the wing. Hindwing with a narrow costal band extending down the outer 

 margin in a black line ; the veins more or less finely black, abdominal fold greyish - 

 white, anal lobe with a black spot, just touched with dark ochreous outwardly, and 

 a white anteciliary mark in it ; tails black, tipped with white. Cilia black, tipped with 

 white. Underside French-grey. Forewing with an ochreous-red somewhat sinuous 

 discal line, outwardly edged with white, from near the costa to the sub-median vein, 

 with a minute but rather acute angle in it just before its termination ; hinder margin 

 narrowly whitish. Hindwing with a similar discal line, which becomes angular below 

 its middle, and curves round to the abdominal margin a little above the anal angle ; a 

 black spot on the anal lobe, containing metallic blue-green scales, with the space between 

 it and the end of the discal series filled up with orange, a black spot in the first inter- 

 space, heavily capped with orange, the interspace between them white, thickly irrorated 

 with black and metallic blue-green scales ; terminal line dark brown, with an inner 

 white thread. Antennse 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, 

 legs white, prominently banded with black. 



Female, unknown. 



Expanse of wings, $ lyV to l^^- inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Assam, Sumatra. 



Distribution. — We have three males of this species from the Khasia Hills, they 

 correspond in all particulars wdth de Niceville's description and figure ; there can be no 

 doubt he described a male as a female by mistake, he suggests this himself in his last 

 reference ; it is closely allied to B. valeiitia, Swinhoe, especially on the underside, but 

 the black bands on the upperside of the forewing are of a diiferent shape, and the pure 

 white frons of buto is very distinctive ; de Niceville's types are unfortunately in the 

 Indian Museum, Calcutta, his description, he states, was made from two examples, one 

 from the Ataran Valley, Tenasserim, and the other from N.E. Sumatra ; like valeiitia, it 

 has only two sub-costal nervules in the forewing.
