224 LEPIDOPTEEA INDICA. 



Hindwing with the costal space broadly brown, narrowing rapidly round the apex and 

 down the outer margin. Underside ochreous-brown, markings darker brown with 

 pale edgings. Forewing with two small round spots in the cell, sub-basal and medial, 

 a bar at the end ; a discal, rather broad, nearly straight band of six conjoined spots, 

 the first small, the fifth a little inwards, an outwardly oblique spot or dash below the 

 outer cell spot, the four lower spaces outside this mark pale, almost whitish ; a some- 

 what broad sub-marginal band of conjoined lunular marks, the margin pale with 

 small, indistinct lunules. Hindwing with the usual four sub-basal spots and the three 

 following spots all unusually small, a curved bar at the end of tlie cell, a discal series 

 of eight spots in pairs, the lower ends of the second touching the upper ends of the 

 discoidal and of the third spot, the upper outer end of the fifth touching the lower 

 inner end of the fourth, the seventh curved, running into the eighth, which runs into 

 the abdominal margin, a sub-marginal rather broad band of angular conjoined lunular 

 marks, terminal line pale, with sub-terminal small lunules. 



Female. Upperside purple-blue, much brighter blue than the male, bands some- 

 what broader. Underside as in the male. 



Expanse of wings, $ $ l-j^ to ly% inches. 



Habitat. — Barma. 



Distribution. — ^The type came from Maulmein ; it is in the B. M. from Tilin Yaw 

 and Tenasserim ; in Bethune-Baker's collection from Bhamo, and in ours from Ataran.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dull bluish-purple. Fcrewing with a black spot at the 

 end of the cell running into the broad black costal band which commences obscurely 

 at the base, becomes well marked at the middle and expands on to the apex where 

 it is very broad, runs broadly down the outer margin and expands somewhat at the 

 hinder angle. Hindwing with the costal space broadly black, the outer margin with 

 a black line, with very slight productions at the ends of all the veins, abdominal 

 fold grey. Cilia black. Underside rather pale chocolate-grey, markings brown. 

 Forewing with a very small sub-basal spot in the cell, a larger oval spot in the 

 middle, a rather large, somewhat square spot at the end with a small spot attached 

 to its upper inner end, and a large spot attached to it below, which is somewhat 

 obscured by a broad brown smear which runs from it for more than half the length 

 of the cell below the median vein ; a discal, rather broad band of six conjoined 

 spots, outwardly curved below the costa, then running straight down to vein 2, a
