Imago. — Male. Upperside of a uniform dark blackish-brown. Forewing with 

 the apical portion darker black ; the white discal streak crossing outside the end of 

 the cell, descends hindwards, less obliquely than is usual in the genus, and therefore is 

 more in the middle of the wing, it is more like a bar, and is very broad and extends 

 from near the costa at its middle to near the hinder margin of the wing, there are no 

 other markings on either wings above, but the outer margin of the hindwing is 

 distinctly sinuous, which is very unusual in the males of this group. Underside pale 

 brownish-grey with a faint pinkish tinge. Forewing with the white band forming a 

 large white patch, a blackish suffusion on the wing in the inner portion, the usual 

 markings on forewings better defined than in hoisduvali, very obscure on the hindwing ; 

 a sub- terminal series of black dots. 



Female, like the male. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown above and 

 below. 



Expanse of wings, $ '^ l\ inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Malay Peninsula. 



Distribution. — Watson records it from the Chin Hills and Chin Lushai, Elwes 

 from the Naga and Karen Hills ; it is in the B. M. from Thyetmyo, the Malay Peninsula 

 and Java, and we have it from Celebes.
