134 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



band, its inner-edge being sharply-defined, and somewhat irregular on the forewing, 

 its outer-edge blurred, and on the forewing directed somewhat inwardly from above 

 the upper median, becoming gradually narrower towards the anal angle of hindwing, 

 but to which it does not quite reach ; cilia lilacine-grey tipped with black at end 

 of veins. Foretving also with thi-ee superposed subapical outwardly-oblique pale 

 ochreous spots, the upper one being slender, the next much larger, the lowest small 

 and speckled ; below these and near the discal band are two small white spots placed 

 above and below the upper median ; across middle of the cell are two indistinct 

 black sinuous lines and another pair at its end enclosing the discocellulars. 

 Hindu-ing with a small more or less obscurely-defined outer-discal black spot 

 margined with pale ochreous, placed between the lower and middle medians ; the 

 outer border and anal angle grey-speckled. Underside. Both wings pale greyish- 

 ochreous-brown, slightly flushed with vinaceous-grey, and irrorated with darker 

 brown scales ; the discal band, as above, being more or less grey and speckled with 

 brown scales, its edges also more or less sharply-defined ; the basal area crossed by 

 two similar-coloured sinuous-edged fascice ; the submarginal Innular lines very 

 obscui'e. Both wings with an outer-discal row of obscurely-defined black dots 

 placed between the veins, those on the hindwing being slightly surrounded by pale 

 ochreous, and the two on the forewing, representing the pair of the upperside, are 

 entirely white ; posterior angle of forewing broadly lilacine-grey speckled, and with 

 a quadrate black spot; anal angle of hindwing also grey-speckled. Body and palpi 

 above brown, beneath and legs pale yellowish-ochreous ; antennae blackish above, 

 beneath and tip ochreous.

Habitat. — Burma ; Tenasserim, 



Distribution. — " Mr. W. Doherty found it flying rather commonly in the open 

 country at the foot of the Arakan Yoma near Sandoway, Arakan, and has the habits 

 of Hypolimnas Bolina. In Major Marshall's collection are several specimens from 

 Rangoon. It occurs also in Tavoy." (de Nic^ville, I.e. 248). Col. C. H. E. 

 Adamson records it as being " found throughout Burma in the dry-season. In 

 February, 1892, it was very common at Aloungdau Kathapa Pagoda, in the Chindwin 

 District. It frequents thick forest, and is very difficult to catch in good order" 

 (List 1897, 25). Capt. E. Y. Watson says it " occurred commonly in the Upper 

 Chindwin in April, but almost invariably in bad condition, and also very difiicult to 

 catch " (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1897, 656). Capt. Watson also took it at " Beelicg 

 in Upper Tenasserim " {id. 1888, 6), and on the road from " Pauk to Tihn in 

 November, and at Tilin from December to May, was very common in March, but 

 specimens, though fresh, were terribly battered " {id. 1891, 41). Mr. W. Doherty 

 took " sev.eral specimens near Momeit, Upper Burma " (P. Z. S. 1691, 285). Dr. F.
