streak very broad, indented anteriorly, posteriorly descending 

 below median vein and vein 4 ; discal markings also remarkably 

 broad, those on the posterior portion of the wing sometimes 

 confluent with the discoidal streak; beyond this three slender 

 bisinuate ochraceous transverse lines, sometimes ill-defined. Hind 

 wing with a very broad subbasal, and a much narrower postdiscal 

 transverse band ; the dusky black termen traversed by a very 

 slender ill-defined ochraceous transverse line. Underside pale 

 ochraceous yellow ; the intervening spaces of the black ground- 

 colour of the upperside replaced by somewhat diffuse pale 

 brownish markings defined by darker lines, a few dark brown 

 specks in cellular areas and below costa of both fore and hind 

 wing. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen black ; beneath, the 

 palpi, thorax and abdomen pale ochraceous white. 



Wet-season form. — <$ $ . Similar, but the markings on the 

 upperside of a slightly deeper shade of ochraceous yellow, 

 distinctly narrower ; the three transverse ochraceous slender 

 lines on the termen of fore wing more clearly defined. Underside : 

 the pale brownish markings as in the dry-season form but some- 

 what broader. 



Exp. 6 2 44-50 mm. (1-74-1-98"). 



Hah. The hills of Assam, Burma, and Tenasserim, extending 

 to the Malay Peninsula. 



Var. dindinga, Butler, is larger, with the markings more neatly 

 defined ; the fore wing on the upperside with the transverse lines 

 crossing the termen generally greyish.

cT 2 • Closely resembles R. peraka, Butler ; but on the upper- 

 side the orange markings are of a deeper darker shade and 

 narrower even than in the wet-season specimens of that form. 

 Upperside. Fore wing : the discal markings more macular, the 

 spots well divided from one another ; subterminal line parallel to 

 the terminal margin broad, slightly interrupted at vein 4, not 

 forming two wide arches as they do in R. peraka. Hind wing : 

 the subbasal line narrow and straight ; the subterminal line very 

 distinct. Underside : the markings as on the upperside but 

 broader ; on the hind wing slightly suffused with violaceous pink ; 

 the interspaces of ground-colour dusky black, somewhat mottled. 



Exp. 6 2 40-50 mm. ( 1-59-1-98").
