204 LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 



Habitat. — Burma, Malay Peninsula. 



Distribution. — The type, a male in the B. M., came from Meetan. We have a 

 male from Renong, Siam, and there is a female in the Druce collection from Samburi, 

 West Siam ; de Niceville records it from Thapo, Yimiki, King Island and Sulivan 

 Island, all in the Mergui Archipelago. Distant records a female from Perak, but his 

 figure shows a much broader and blacker outer marginal band than in any specimen we 

 have yet seen.

 end of 7 ; 6 from near the upper end, 5 from the middle of discocellulars, upper 

 discocellular slightly concave, shorter than the lower which is straight, both are

 shape, with the hinder margin nearly straight. Hindwing, vein 7 emitted from near

 their middle, vein 3 from close to lower end of cell, 2 from the middle, sub-median vein 

 nearly straight, internal vein recurved ; wing narrow, produced hindwards, truncate at 

 the anal end, with a long tail from vein 2, and a short one from the sub-median vein,
