from their base to more than half the length, these streaks giving that portion of the 

 veins the appearance of a feather of which the vein itself is the shaft and the scales the 

 barb ; between these veins is a narrow pale yellowish-ochreous spot, and another 

 similar spot above ; on the disc from below the upper median vein is an inwardly- 

 oblique discal broad pale oohreous-yellow — or sometimes almost ochreoiis-white — 

 band, which is almost evenly-edged on both sides ; beyond is an outer-discal row of 

 five rounded spots of the same colour, the lowest being almost obliterated or centred 

 by a black spot, followed by a submarginal row of slender dentate lunules also of the 

 same colour, these latter being outwardly-bordered by a black luuule, and then an 

 obsolescent outer marginal line. Hinchving with a similar slender ochreous streak of 

 modijied scales as on ioremng, extending from base of first and second subcostal; a 

 transverse inner-discal broad pale ochreous-yellow or almost ochreous-white band 

 which is either of equal width at each end or tapering hindward ; an outer-discal 

 narrower and somewhat macular band of the same colour inwardly bearing a row of 

 six jirominent black spots ; beyond is a submarginal row of slender yellow lunules 

 and a still finer obsolescent outer marginal line. Underside pale dull fuliginous- 

 ochreous, the discal band and outer markings, as on upperside, paler yellowish- 

 ochreous, the lower black spot on forewing and those on the hindwiug being 

 prominent. Bodi/ and palpi above fuliginous-brown, beneath and legs yellowish- 

 ochreous ; antennse black.

DiSTKicuTiON. — Col. C. H. E. Adamson records finding this insect " abundant on 

 the road between Kaukaret and Myawaddee, UjDper Tenasserim, on the 24th April, 

 1880, but not since met with" (List, Burm. Butt. p. 21 (1897). " Dr. J. Anderson 

 took two males and one female in the Mergui Archipelago during January and 

 March. Capt. C. T. Bingham took it in the Upper Thoungyeen forests in April, 

 the Donat Range, and in Kaukaret, Upper Tenasserim " (de Niceville, I.e.). A male 

 taken by Mr. Hawxwell in Upper Tenasserim is in Mr, Grose-Smith's collection. We 

 have examined specimens from Perak, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and Mindoro, 

 Philippines.
