having their outer edge aud adjacent cilia of the lobes conspicuously black ; outer 

 marginal angle at end of upper median and its cilia also black. Underside yellowish- 

 ochreous ; markings similar, the outer lines being less distinct. Bothj and palpi above 

 reddish-ochreous ; thorax and abdomen with a slender black dorsal line; body 

 beneath and legs yellowish-ochreous ; antennas blackish, shaft annulated with white. 

 -Female. Upperside paler ochreous, the interspace between the subbasal and 

 medial, and of the discal aud outer marginal lines being yellowish-ochreous ; all the 

 mai'kings less defined. 



Expanse, 6 ? 1 n) to 1 H) inch. . . 



Habitat. — Burma; Dpper Tenasserim. 



Note.— From specimens of equal size, of the Malayan, Sumatran, Nias, Borneo, 

 and Java G. Bahria, the Burmese examples differ from all, on both the forewing 

 and hindwing, iu the two inner-pair of transverse Hues being nearer together, 

 and therefore comparatively more equidistant apart ; the discal transverse fascia is 

 more slender and straighter, the discal interspace between the lines narrower, the 

 two outer-discal lines are also wider apart, straighter, and less catenulous on the 

 hindwing, and the short central streaks more slender. On the hindwing the two 

 anal black lobe-marks, and of the marginal angle (as described above), is not present 

 in any specimen examined from the other-named localities. 



Distribution. — Col. C. H. E. Adamson has specimens taken at Pyin Myoung, 

 Shan Hills, in July, Kathapa in February, and "Burma" in November. Dr. N. 

 Manders took it in " Eastern Karenee " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1S90, 525). It also occurs in 

 Upper Tenasserim.

 (1886). 



Imago. — " Male and female. Smaller than G. Bahria; the ground-colour more 

 ochreous and less rufous ; markings similar, but with the transverse fascia broader, 

 much darker, and placed close together. The obsolete caudate prolongations in 

 G. Bahria near the apices of the third and first median veinlets are scarcely visible 

 in Peraha, and the structural peculiarity exists in the first subcostal nervule of the 

 forewing, which, in this species, impinges near its base on the costal nervure. The 

 female has the ground-colour paler than in the male, the wings broader, and the apex 

 of the forewing more rounded." r
