with blackish atoms, being confined to the cell and for a little distance beyond and below 

 it ; a very small black anal spot, and a black sub-terminal lunule in each of the next three 

 interspaces, a white anteciliary thread, tail black, tipped with white. Cilia on both 

 wings black, with white outer edge. Underside white, markings cbocolate-brown, with 

 white edges. Fornving with base and costa up to the discal band suffused and spotted 

 with chocolate-brown, this marking running down between the cell spots, which are 

 oval and increase in size outwards, a discal band of seven conjoined spots, the first very 

 small, with another similar one on the costa close to its inner side, the others in a 

 gentle even curve, with the exception of the fourth spot, which is pushed a little 

 outwards ; the seventh is small and has a small dark smear below it, and is near the 

 outer marginal double series of lunular marks. Hlndwinii with a basal spot on the 

 costa, with the base of the wing below it suffused with chocolate-brown, four sub-basal 

 spots as in A. aberrans, a smeared spot above the upper one, a spot in the middle of the 

 cell, a broken thin band running across the wing inside it, a bar at the end of the cell 

 with three spots between its lower end and the abdominal margin, a discal series of 

 seven spots, the first two from the costa, the second the largest, the next three joined 

 together, outside and well separated from the upper two, the sixth curved, the seventh 

 small, nearly all the spots with white centres, a sub-marginal series of white angular 

 marks with small black lunules inside them, all the bands with pale chocolate-brown 

 marks between them, on the lower half of the wing. Both wings with the terminal 

 line brown. Cilia white, brown on the upper two-thirds of the forewing. 



Female, like the male above and below, but on the upperside it is duller in colour, 

 and the white marks in the upper disc of the forewing are a little more extensive. 



Expanse of wings, $ $ 1t"o to 1^^ inches. 



Habitat. — Nepal, Sikkim, Assam, Sylhet.

 Hills, de Nice'ville says it is rare in Sikkim, and that he has seen one example taken in 

 Sylhet, we have it from Sikkim and the Khasia Hills, Hannyngton records it from
