24 LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 



oval spots of wliicU the four upper are elongated and partly coalesced ; a submarginal 

 series of biconical spots with outer dilated peduncles, and a marginal row of conical 

 spots. Hinclivinrj with black traversing cell lines and spot towards its end; an inner 

 discal spot between the middle and lower median veinlets, inner discal spot between 

 the median and submedian veins absent in the type, a curved discal series of eight 

 oval spots, two of which are below the costal border, and the lowest cordate in 

 shape; the ordinary submarginal biconical sj^ots with outer dilated ends on the 

 veins, and a marginal row of conical spots ; a slender streak between the median 

 and submedian veins. Body and legs black, spotted and striped with white; 

 abdomen black above, white beneath. 



Expanse, 3^ to 4 inches. 



Habitat. — Andaman Isles (Fe^cZer) ; Mergui; Ari^akan. 



Distribution. — Our illustration (PI. 4, fig. 1) of this butterfly is copied from 

 Felder's figure. No other example has been recorded from the Andaman Isles. 



According to Mr. De Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 28), " Three males and a female, 

 which evidently belong to this species, were taken in the Mergui Archipelago in 

 December and January, by Dr. Anderson ; these differing from the type in being a 

 little larger, and in having the black spot near the middle of the streak between the 

 median and submedian veins of the hindwing. The female differing from the male 

 ill the forewing being wider and less emarginate externally; and in all the black 

 markings of both wings being smaller, leaving a greater extent of the pure white 

 ground colour." 



Specimens have also been obtained at Akyab, in Arrakan. A female from the 

 latter locality, in the " Hewitson Collection " at the British Museum, has the wings 

 of a slightly fuliginous tint, the shape and positions of the black markings being the 

 same as in Felder's figure, but the markings are not so strongly defined, the sub- 

 marginal series slightly coalescing, and those at the apex of forewing are coalesced 

 with those of the marginal series.

Imago. — Male and female. Wings dusky greyish-white ; all the veins and mark- 

 ings intensely black and prominent. Foreioing with the black costal base coalesced 

 with the ordinary basal cell-lines and the large central spot, and also almost with 

 the base of the median vein and with the lower large elongated mark, together with 

 the posterior border, thus covering the entire basal area, excepting the pale dusky
