white straight streak, and above the upper ocellus is an apical sinuous white spot ; 

 on the hindwing there are only five ocelli, the apical being absent ; beyond these 

 ocelli are two outer submarginal slender violet-blue lines followed by a dark brown 

 broader line ; anal and caudal angle reddish-ochreous. Body reddish-ochreous ; 

 thorax olivescent-ochreous ; palpi above bi'ownish-ochreous, beneath white ; legs dark

Female. Upperside much paler ochreous, the base darker. Forewlng with the 

 blackish outer-marginal band broken towards posterior angle and slightly showing 

 a bipupilled ocellus. Hindwing with the outer band not reaching the margin ; lower

Expanse, S 2^q to 3, ? 3 to Z^q inches. 



Habitat. — Assam ; Cachar ; Khasia Hills ; Naga Hills ; Burma ; Tenasserim ; 

 Malay Peninsula ; Sumatra ; Borneo. 



Distribution. — " Mr. J. Wood-Mason obtained it in the forests near Silcuri, 



Cachar, from May to August. There are specimens from Cherrapunji, Assam, and 



the Naga Hills, in the Calcutta Museum. Mr. J. L. Sherwill took it in the Jorehat 



district, Assam, in October, Mr. H. M. Parish obtained a female in November in the 



Chittagong Hill Tracts. Capt. C. T. Bingham took a male in the Donat Range, 



Upper Tenasserim, in December, which approaches the figure of Cramer's Pohjnice, 



in having the ground-colour of the upperside much darker than the other specimens 



I have seen, and the outer black border broad at the apex of the fore wing, the 



underside is also much darker. A female, taken in October also in the Donat 



Range, is also much darker than the Chittagong female mentioned above. It does 



not appear to be a common species anywhere " (de Niceville, I.e. 247). Col. 



C. Swinhoe has received it from the Khasia Hills. Mr. P. Crowley has specimens 



from the Naga Hills, Tounghoo, Upper Tenasserim. Col. C. H. E. Adamson says 



" it appears to be scarce in Burma ; I took four males at Phapoon on the Yunzaleen 



River in November, and have it also from Tavoy " (List 1897, 25). Dr. J. 



Anderson took it at " Minthantoung and in Mergui in December " (J. Linn. Soc. 



' Zool. 1886, 35). We have verified males from Malacca and Perak, and a Malacca 



female in the Hewitsonian collection. Mr. de Niceville says, " in N.E. Sumatra it is 



found only in large forest, the males being fond of faeces on forest roads ; the 



females being very rare and are seldom seen in collections, perhaps escaping capture 



by the coloration being very different from that of the males, as on the wing the 



female closely resembles a common Cirrochroa " (J. A. S. Beng. 1895, 429). It 



also occurs in Borneo.
