158 LEPIBOFTERA INDICA. 



with the oblique subapical band pale ochreous, and the upper-discal area narrowly 

 very slightly paler than the ground-colour. The subapical band is entire in both 

 sexes, its outer lower portion not being disconnected, but extends above and below 

 the lower radial, its lower end being quadrate and excavated on both its inner and 

 outer sides ; the black obhque band is comparatively broader than in Sikkim or 

 Burmese specimen of D. indica. Underside. Male. Ground-colour rich pur- 

 purescent reddish-ochreous, clouded with rich dark yellowish, purpurescent, and 

 greyish-ochreous, or the ground-colour is dark olive clouded with deeper olive, the 

 normal markings being very prominent, the basal marks on both wings larger and 

 broader than in D. indica, being either pure white or pale yellow, and on the 

 hindwing there are only two submai'ginal prominent larger ocelli, the ordinary upper 

 one being obsolescent. Underside of female. Ground-colour dark olive (presumably 

 ivet season) or uniformly brownish-ochreous (presumably drij season), the markings 

 more or less indistinct, the basal marks the same as the ground-colour. Two large 

 ocelli only, on the hindwing. 



Expanse, c? 3 to 3j^o. ? 3 to Sj^o inches. 



Habitat. — Andamans ; Kar Nicobar. 



Distribution. — Numerous specimens were taken by the late Mr. F. de Roepstorff 

 at Port Blair, S. Andamans. Mr. W. Doherty records it as " not common on Kar 

 Nicobar, being probably an immigrant from the Andamans " (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 

 258).
