 whitish space on the outer half of the hinder margin. Hindwing with traces of the

Habitat. — Upper Assam, Naga Hills, Bhutan. 



Distribution. — The type male form from Buxa, Bhutan, is in the Carnegie Museum, 

 Pitsburg, U.S.A. ; we have not seen it, we therefore give de Niceville's description and 

 copies of his figure. Elwes records it from Margherita in Upper Assam, a male taken 

 by Doherty ; there is a female in the Hannyngton collection, taken at Kilari in the 

 Naga Hills, which has been kindly lent to us, and from which our description and 

 figures of that sex are taken.
