 the lower siibmarginal spot, the upper three, and sometimes four, of considerably less 

 size ; an elongated broad streak clothed with somewhat narrow round-tipt brown 

 scales, with numerous white very narrow interspersed scales, and a few very slender 

 white scales between the lower median and submedian vein, the posterior border 

 below being glossy-cinereous, covered with widely separated very narrow rouud-tipt 

 scales along extreme edge, and some laxly raised lance-pointed scales along the sub- 

 median. Eindwing also with a discal series of five small white spots, and one within 

 end of the cell; some small white spots also at base of the wing. Body dark brown ; 

 thorax in front and beneath, head, palpi, and legs black, spotted and streaked with

Habitat. — Lower Burma ; Malay Peninsula. 



Distribution within Indian area. — The northernmost limit recorded is Akyab, 

 where it was taken in July by Capt. 0. H. E. Adamson (Proc. As. Soc. Bang. Nov. 

 1882). Capt. C. T. Bingham also obtained it in the Thoungyeen forests in Upper 

 Tenasserim; and Dr. J. Anderson (Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 30) took numerous 

 specimens in the Mergui Archipelago from December to March. Its occurrence 

 outside our area is restricted to the Malay Peninsula.

 the third and fourth the smallest, the fifth and sixth the largest and the latter 

 elongated, the three upper being narrow and curving inward to the costa ; a 

 marginal row of small spots disposed in pairs between the veins except the sub- 

 costals; a white dot also on the costa above end of the cell, and another on the disc 

 between the upper and middle median veinlets. Hindwing broadly cinereous along 

 the costal border ; with a submarginal row of large pure white spots, of which the
