markings of the underside showing through, more or less by 

 transparency. Fore wing with an outer discal or submarginal 

 series of diffused or irrorated rounded whitish spots arranged in a 

 slightly outwardly curved line across the wing from the costa to 

 the first median nervule, more prominent anteriorly, obsolete 

 posteriorly ; a similar marginal linear series, each spot on both 

 sides (?) outwardly defined with black. Hind wing with the 

 marginal series of spots as in the fore wing, but the two anterior- 

 most spots divided by the discoidal nervule larger than the others. 

 Underside : both wings a little paler than above, rather more 

 ochreous in shade. Eore wing with the inner margin as far as the 

 submedian nervure whitish ; the discocellular nervules narrowly 

 defined by a dark ferruginous line ; an inner discal macular white 

 fascia, the anterior portion of which from the costa to the third 

 median nervule is formed of spots divided only by the crossing- 

 veins and arranged in one straight line, followed by three spots 

 placed in echelon in the median and submedian interspaces, these 

 three spots forming an inwardly oblique straight line ; an outer 

 discal curved series of white spots arranged regularly across the 

 wing from the third subcostal nervule to the median nervure ; a 

 marginal narrow, almost continuous, series of white spots promi- 

 nently defined on both sides by a fine black line. Hind wing with 

 an inner discal series of white spots, very similar to that on the 

 fore wing, but the anterior portion ending on the third median 

 nervule is wider; followed by an indistinct castaneous macular 

 fascia, w T hich is continued somewhat indistinctly on to the disc of 

 the fore wing ; two marginal apical large rounded black spots 

 divided by the discoidal nervule, each spot bears outwardly a 

 large white area, inwardly each spot bears a few white scales ; in 

 the median, submedian and internal interspaces are large conical- 

 outline silvery-white spots, the base of the cone is on the margin, 

 the apex is towards the base of the wing, the spot in the internal 

 interspace the smallest and oval in shape. Cilia of both wings 

 dusky, just touched inwardly with whitish. Antennae above black, 

 beneath prominently annulated with white, the base of the club 

 also white. Thorax and abdomen above concolorous with the 

 wings, beneath white. Legs with the femur white, the tibia and 

 tarsi ochreous.

 5000 ft., Katha District, Upper Burma. 



"T. bumii is an aberrant species and seems to form a link, as 

 far as the markings go, between the known species of the genus 

 Taxila and the typical group of the genus Abisara {A. echeriiis, 



Stoll) It posseses the two prominent apical black spots 



on the underside of the hind wing which are characteristic of all, 

 the species of Abisara, but are lacking in Taxila." (de Niceville, 

 I.e.)
