small marginal spots also either entirely absent or only two or three of the lower 

 present. Hindiving with four, sometimes five, shorter white streaks below the cell, 

 the fifth generally being minute, these white streaks being sharply pointed at the 

 end and much narrower than in D. Bamsayi, and are followed by one or two very 

 small blue discal spots ; of the submarginal spots the two between the subcostal 

 and upper median, and two or three from the anal angle only, and three or four of 

 the lower marginal, are generally present ; the ochreous costal streak, present in 

 D. Bamsayi, is absent. Underside paler; with similar markings as on upperside. 

 Forewing with the two outer rows of spots smaller, whiter, with one or two of the 

 discal spots of larger size, the lower one being present on specimens which have 

 neither on the upperside. Hindwhig with the white streaks below the cell, the discal 

 streaks, and those within the cell, much narrower, and shorter than in D. Bamsayi, 

 the outer rows of spots also smaller. Female. Similar to D. Bamsayi; browner 

 in tint and less blue glossed, markings of forewing somewhat smaller, those of the 

 hindwing also smaller, the streaks from the base, below and within the cell, shorter 

 and narrower, on both the upper and underside.

DiSTEiBCTiON. — This species is presumably referred to by Messrs. Wood-Mason 

 and De Niceville (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 34ti) as being "common in Cachar from April 

 to August ; the eversible caudal rosettes of the males are finely vanilla scented." A 

 specimen of a male from the Khasia Hills, agreeing entirely with Lower Burmese ex- 

 amples, is in my own collection. It is also noted in Mr. J. L. Sherwill's recent list 

 of Naga Hill butterflies. In Upper Tenasserim, Mr. O. Limborg obtained it in " De- 

 cember at Ahsown 2000 feet, Meetan 3000 feet, Hatseiga, and Houngduran Source, 

 and from Naththoung to Paboga " (P. Z. S. 1878, 822). Capt. Bingham also found 

 it " common between Meeawuddy and Kankarit in February, in the Thoungyeen 

 forests in March and April, and in theDonat Range in April, and a sing'e female also 

 was taken in the Thoungyeen forests in the autumn." (Butt, of India, i. 70). Speci- 

 mens have also been taken in Tavoy (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 415). Dr. J. Anderson 

 (J, Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 31) obtained it in the Mergui Archipelago in March. 



DisTRiBDTioN OUTSIDE Indian Aeea. — Mr. Distant (Rhop. Malay, p. 28) records 

 it from Province Wellesley, Malacca, Perak, Penang, Singapore, and Sumatra. It is 

 also doubtfully recorded from Cochin China. 



Indo-Malayan ALLIED SPECIES OF Danisepa. — D. Alcidice, Godart ( r: Thoosa, 



Hiibner, Samm. Exot. Schmett. ii. pi. 8, 6). A smaller species than D. Bhada- 



raanthus; the male having three short white streaks below the cell on the hindwing.
