 outer-discal row of pale or bright-bordered dusky spots, which, on the forewing, 

 are dentate and more or less obscure, and on the hindwing are distinct and black ; 

 followed by a submarginal, more or less defined, pale or bright testaceous lunular 

 line, which is bordered on both its sides by violaceous-grey lunules. The ground- 

 colour is brightest and the markings most defined in specimens oithe ^i^et-season form. 



Female. Upperside pale brownish-fulvous in the drij-season form, darker and 

 brighter brownish-fulvous in the wet-season form ; markings more distinctly and 

 regularly defined throughout than in male. Underside much paler and duller 

 testaceous or pale olivescent-testaceous, glossed with pale violaceous-grey ; markings

Habitat. — Sikkim ; Assam; Khasias ; Lower Bengal ; Burma; Teuasserim ; 

 Malay Peninsula ; Sumatra ; Java. 



DiSTRiBUTiox. — " Occurs in Sikkim in the same regions and in the same months 

 as G. Aoris, but is much rarer. It is not uncommon at Sivoke and East of the Tista 

 River, at low elevations. It has a wide range and has recently been obtained, during 

 the rains, at Bankipur, in Behar " (de Niceville, Sikk. Gazetteer, 1894, 1 39). " Mr. J. 

 Rothney (Eut. Mo. Mag. 1864, 82) records a single female [as Anjira], taken at 

 Barrackpur, but I have never met with it in Calcutta, I have received a single 

 female from Bholahat in the Malda District " (uL J. A. Soe. Beng. 1885, 44). 

 Col. C. H. E. Adamson records it as " common on the beds of streams in Tenasserim 

 and Arakan, in the cold and hot weather " (List of Burmese Butt. 1897,21). 

 Col. C, Swinhoe has examples from the Thoungyeen Valley, taken by Capt. C. T. 

 Bingham, in March and April.
