188 NYMPHALIDJE. 



narrowly fulvous near apex, crossing towards the termen, forming 

 an obscure preapical band joining a subter urinal lunular band of 

 the same colour. Hind wing uniform, with a subterminal band as 

 in the fore wing but not lunular, straight. Underside pale brown, 

 with the following transverse pale lilac-white bands crossing both 

 fore and hind wing : basal, subbasal, discal, postdiscal, broad 

 subterminal and terminal ; the subbasal and discal of equal 

 width, meeting above the tornal angle in V-shape, the space 

 between the two bands with, on the fore wing, two shorter similar 

 bands crossing the cell, on the hind wing a single similar band 

 from costa to median vein ; subterminal band on hind wing bent 

 upwards above tornal area and continued halfway up the dorsal 

 margin, the broadly-produced toruus with a dark brown spot; 

 finally a large ochraceous ocellus in interspace 2, and a smaller 

 similar one in interspace 6. Antennae reddish ; head, thorax and 

 abdomen umber-brown. Secondary sex-mark a glandular fold 

 in membrane of wing shaded by tufts of long hair along vein 1 on 

 upperside of hind wing, and preapically on the abdomen with tufts 

 of stiff long hairs, — $ . Upper and under sides as in S but paler ; 

 on the upperside the fulvous along the costal margin widens into 

 a preapical patch, and generally the bands on the underside show 

 through and appear above as pale fulvous bands. 



Exp. 6 2 H2-122 mm. (4-4-4'8"). 



Hab. Burma ; Tenasserim ; Andamans ; extending to Malay 

 Peninsula. 



One specimen in the British Museum Collection, a S from the 

 Andamans, is ou the upperside a rich w T arm uniform ochraceous ; 

 on the underside ochraceous with the markings as in the typical 

 form, but with three ocelli on the hind wing. Another specimen, 

 also a $ , from the same locality has on the underside of the hind 

 wing four ocelli. 



Larva. Cylindrical, light brown above ; fifth to anal segment 

 with rows of short fine hairs, anterior segments and head with 

 longer, anteriorly projecting hairs ; the head with a pair of lateral 

 palmated processes, anal segment with two backward-projecting 

 setose processes. Colour light pinkish brown above, ochraceous 

 beneath, dark brown lateral and dorsal lines, a black transverse 

 band on third and fourth segments. {After Moore.) Food-plant, 

 according to Horsfield, the cocoanut.
