392 Wood- Mason & de Mceville — On the Bhopalocerous [Ko. 4, 



We take this opportunity to give a more complete description of, 

 and to figure twice tlie natural size from a Sikkim example, the striking 

 little hesperid : —

^ , 9 . Upperside, both wings iridescent vandyke-brown. Forewing 

 with one, two, three, four, or five very small pure and bright chrome- 

 yellow streaks divided by the veins placed obliquely beyond the 

 end of the cell ; or even immaculate ; and with all the cilia lighter 

 yellow than the spots when present, and broadly intersected with brown 

 opposite to the ends of the veins. Undeeside, both wings and the 

 bases of the cilia throughout rich vandyke-brown, darker than above, 

 and veined and margined with rich chrome-yellow. Forewing with the 

 costal margin to a little beyond its middle, the costal and subcostal 

 nervures and nervules to the costal and outer margins, and the extremity 

 of the third median nervule veined, and the outer margin bordered, 

 with chrome-yellow, so that the wing may be described as being increas- 

 ingly bordered from the base to the apex, and decreasingly from the 

 apex to the submedian nervure with yellow streaked with dark brown. 

 Hindwing yellow-bordered, with the yellow veins broadly edged on both 

 sides with yellow. Antenncd dark brown, ringed and tipped with 

 chrome-yellow. Head, thorax, and abdomen above dark vandyke-brown, 

 below yellow. 



Expanse : '90 to -95 inches. 



Hab. — Sikkim, where it is not uncommon at low elevations ; Bhutan ; 

 and Salween, Moulmein, whence the type specimens were received. 



The great variation in the number of the small chrome-yellow 

 spots on the upperside of the forewing presented by our specimens 

 from Sikkim and Bhutan suggests at least the suspicion that the 0. 

 subradiatus of Moore (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1878, p. 693) from the 

 Khasia Hills is not specifically distinct from the 0. subvittatus of the 

 same writer.
