NYMPHALINjE. (Group LZMENITiyi.) 39 



oclireous lunular Hue extending medially along the dark interspace between the 

 yellow discal bands, and the subbasal dark band has a slight outwardly projected 

 angle between the costal and subcostal vein. 



Wet-season brood {Flute 303, fig. 2, d, e, 9). 



Male and female. Upperside with the discoidal streak, and discal bands on 

 both wings comparatively narrower, the marginal lines grey, the line on hindwing 

 tinged with ochreous posteriorly. Underside with the markings narrower, as above, 

 the ground-colour darker, otherwise as in dry-season brood. 



Expanse, c? 1^) to 2, ? 2 to 2^-0 inches. 



Habitat. — Lower Burma ; Tenasserim ; Malay Peninsula ; Borneo. 



Note. — This species has similar markings on the upperside to Dorelia and 

 Sattanga, but the bands are broader in both dry and ivet forms. Dindinga may be 

 easily distinguished from them by the submarginal lines on forewing being grey — 

 whereas in the others the inner line is prominently ochreous. On the underside, 

 the bands are also broader, the marginal lines on forewing being greyish, and on the 

 hindwing the interspaces between the bands are prominently defined by black 

 edging. 



Distribution. — A male, taken in the Ataran Valley, in March, and a female 

 from the Houndraw Valley, Burma, taken in October, and a male from the Mepley 

 Valley, Tenasserim, in January, by Capt. Bingham, and the type specimen from 

 Malacca, are in the British Museum, A male from Borneo is in Mr. Grose-Smith's 

 collection, and a female from Sandakan, N. Borneo, is in Colonel Swinhoe's 

 collection.
