each spot is encircled by a pale ochreous-yellow ring, these rings being broadened 

 exteriorly and altogether forming a nearly straight submarginal edge to the series 

 of ocelli, the yellow extending above the ocelli to the costa before the apex. Hind- 

 %oing crossed by an ill-defined pale bordered angular discal line, followed by an outer 

 series of five oval black spots, each encircled by a pale ochreous-yellow outer ring, 

 the latter ring more or less broadened exterioi'ly, and either touches or extends to 

 near the dark-brown submarginal sinuous line; marginal line slender, brown. 

 Underside as in the male, except that the pale border to the discal brown band is 

 broader, and on the hindwing there is, in some specimens only, an additional small 

 well-formed ocellus situated at the end of the discal band above the anal angle. 



Expanse, (? 2|, ? 3 to 3f inches.

DiSTKiBUTiON AND Habits. — We are indebted to Capt. C. T. Bingham for the 

 discovery of this species, " two females being taken in Upper Tenasserim in the 

 Upper Thoungyeen forests in March and April" (Butt. Ind. i. 173). Dr. N. 

 Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 518) " obtained two males and a female at Yatsouk 

 and Bogeathat, at the north end of the Nyoungwe Valley in the Shan States ; being 

 found in open scrub-jungle, where the trees are of medium size. It is fond of 

 settling in the middle of the road, and then flying ofi into the jungle to settle on a 

 tree-trunk, and is consequently difficult to catch." Capt. E. Y. Watson (J. Bombay 

 Nat. Hist. Soc. 1891, 34), during the Chin-Lushai Expedition of 1889-90, obtained 

 it " on the road from Pauk to Tilin in October and November, and at TiHn also in 

 November, April, and May. Those caught at the end of the year were in poor con- 

 dition. The spring brood appeared about the middle of April, and did not differ in 

 markings from the autumn brood. It settles almost invariably on tree-trunks, on 

 which I usually obtained it in the very early morning. It is crepuscular in its 

 habits, but does not seem to frequent very dense jungle. When seen either at rest 

 or on the wing, this species seems altogether out of place in this fauna, and one 

 would rather expect to find it sitting on stones in the hills in company with Hip- 

 parchus. It rests with its wings closed over the back, its underside harmonizing 

 well with the bark of tree-trunks." 



Mr. H. J. Elwes (P. Z. S. 1891, 266) records " several specimens taken by 

 Mr. W. Doherty in the Karen Hills and at Momeit, Upper Burma, at 1500 to 2000 

 feet."
