442 Elwes & de Niceville — Le;pido]ptera of Tavoy and Siam. [No. 5, 1886.] 



^ IJPPERSIDE, both wings dark brown. Foreiving with two con- 

 joined spots placed obliquely near the end of the cell, two subapical dots, 

 the lower four times the size of the upper, a quadrate spot in the second 

 median interspace, a similar one but three times the size in the first 

 median interspace, two spots in continuation in the submedian inter- 

 space, all bright ochreous. Cilia cinereous. Ilindwing with a small 

 patch of yellow in the middle of the disc. Cilia ochreous. Underside, 

 forewing with the costa narrowly, the apex widely, decreasing rapidly to 

 the anal angle, bright ochreous, the rest of the wing black ; the spots 

 as above, but the lower of the two in the submedian interspace much 

 larger and diffused, two short dark streaks placed outwardly against the 

 subapical dots, beyond which is a submarginal series of obscure spots 

 of a paler yellow than the ground on which they are placed. Cilia dark 

 brown. Hindwing bright ochreous, with an obscure discal series of dark 

 spots, of which the one in the upper subcostal interspace is alone pro- 

 minent. Cilia ochreous defined inwardly by a fine dark brown line. 

 Antennce with the shaft above fuscous, the anterior half of the club 

 ochreous, the anterior half of the shaft below ochreous ; palj)ij head^ and 

 hody above dark brown, below ochreous. No secondary sexual cha- 

 racters. 



Expanse : <? , 1*15 inches. 



Marked almost exactly as in Halpe Jionorei^ de Niceville (which how- 

 ever may be an Isoteinon, the male being unknown), from South India, 

 but all the spots on the forewing smaller, the one in the discoidal cell 

 nearly divided into two portions, the discal patch on the hindwing less 

 than half the size, and the insect itself smaller. A single specimen only 

 was obtained from Tavoy. This species has been figured and redescribed 

 under the impression that it was new : the specimen was sent to Mr. Moore 

 for identification, he returned it labelled "not in coll. F. M.," and we there- 

 fore came to the conclusion that it was unknown. Judging from the figure 

 alone, it appears to us that Moore's type specimen was a female, he de- 

 scribed it, however, as a male. It is considerably larger than our male.
