116 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



Female. Upperside brown. Foreivivg with an oval orange-yellow longitudinal 

 band, from near the base, where it is narrow, widening outwards right across the 

 middle of the wing, its end, which is rounded, not reaching the outer margin. Cilia 

 Ijrown. Hindwing with a narrow band of the same orange-yellow colour across the 

 lower middle of the wing, from vein 1 to vein G, somewhat sinuous, widening outwards, 

 turning upwards at its outer end, and sometimes broken ; an indistinct sub-terminal 

 black thin band, more or less angulated, marked with orange-yellow, with a slender 

 white edging. Cilia brown, tipped with white. Underside white, markings much as in 

 heicifsoni, but pale brown, not chocolate-brown, as in that species, the markings finer. 



Expanse of wings, $ $ 1-j^ to 1-j^ inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Mergui, Malay Peninsula. 



Distribution. — The type female came from Singapore. Distant records it from 

 Province Wellesley, Friihstorfer from Java, Manders from the Shan States, de Niceville 

 from Tenasserim and Tavoy. 



Note. — We have not seen a male. Distant seems to have figured the correct 

 male, therefore we give copies of his figure. The males referred to by de Niceville 

 are in the Indian Museum, Calcutta ; both sexes appear to differ somewhat in character 

 of the markings of the upperside, if they have been properly identified. On the under- 

 side they seem to be identical with Hewitson's type. Doherty says the male is very 

 variable ; he had no specimen so green, or with so large and solid coloured area as in 

 Distant's figure, and that all his specimens have a triangular dark patch below the cell 

 and a macular blue band across the apex.
