226 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



spots formed of two bars in an angle with their upper ends joined together, brown 

 marks across the cell between the cell spots, a similar short mark from the costa, 

 outside the outer cell spot, the whole lower space of the wing from the median vein some- 

 what suffused with brown, a discal series of six conjoined spots, in almost a straight 

 band, the uppermost one small, the others gradually decreasing in size hindwards, 

 a sub-marginal series of dark and separate luuular marks, stopping at vein 2, and a 

 series of pale brown marks between the bands. Hindwing with a brown costal spot at 

 the base, a sub-basal series of four spots, the fourth well inwards, followed by three 

 spots in a line, a narrow, curved bar, constricted at its middle at the end of the cell, a 

 discal series of eight spots, the first two from the costa large, the lower ends of the 

 second touching the discoidal bar, and the upper inner end of the third spot, the 

 fourth immediately below the third, the fifth small and inwards, the sixth and seventh 

 curved, the eighth inwards and upwards on the abdominal margin, all these spots with 

 pale centres and all the series with small dark chocolate-brown marks between them, 

 so that the whole surface of the wing is mottled with dark chocolate marks of various 

 kinds, very diflicult to describe ; a sub-marginal series of acutely angled conjoined 

 lunules, two at the middle filled in with very dark, nearly black-brown ; both wings 

 with brown terminal line and sub-terminal, dark blackish-brown lunules, small in the 

 forewing, large in the lower part of the hindwing, decreasing in size upwards. 



Female. Upperside paler than the male. Forewing with the costal and outer 

 marginal black bands similarly shaped, but broader, and there is a large black spot on 

 a small whitish ground at the end of the cell which runs into the broad costal band. 

 Hindwing with the costal space and outer marginal band very broadly blackish, and 

 also like the male there is a short projection at the end of vein 2. Underside with 

 the markings exactly as in the male, but the general coloration is much paler. 



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



Habitat. — Burma, Philippines. 



Distribution. — The type came from the Philippines. Bethune-Baker, who has 

 kindly lent us an example for figuring, records it from Tounghas, Central Burma, and 

 from the Donat Eange ; it very closely resembles A. alesia, Felder, but has no tail. 

 The female is described and figured (for the first time) from an example in the B. M. 

 from the Shan States taken by Watson in January, 1897.
