TELICOTA.— AUGIADES. 601 



Avere both taken at Chang-yang in June, and agree very well with Sikkim 

 examples. 



De "Niceville (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Beng. liv. p. 53, Iv. p. 384) records it as 

 common in all seasons in the neighbourhood of Calcutta and plentiful in 

 Cachar. Elwes (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1888, p. 450) states that in Sikkim 

 it occurs at elevations up to 5000 feet from April to December, but is not 

 common. 



I met with an allied species, T. augias, Linnaeus, at Foochau in April ; 

 but, so far as I know, it has not been taken within the region here dealt with.

 base of wing than to end of cell. Hind wing: vein 7 well before the end of cell; disco- 

 cellulars faint ; vein 5 not traceable ; vein 3 immediately before the end of cell, many times 

 farther from 2 than from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. 

 Hind tibise with a long fringe and with two pairs of spurs. Male with a linear discal stigma 

 on fore wing extending from origin of vein 3 to as far as vein 1." ( Watson, I. c.)

" Expands from 1"20 to 1'40 in. The male is fulvous ; the hind margins of the fore wings and 

 all the marginal portions of the hind wings brownish fuscous. The fore wings have the discal 

 black line very distinct. Underside : hind wings yellowish, with some very indistinct central 

 markings; the inner margin tinged with fulvous. The female is somewhat larger than the 

 male ; the wings are brownish. Fore wings without the sub-discoidal black streak, with a 

 submarginal row of large fulvous spots ; the basal portion is fulvous towards the costa. 

 Hind wings with a row of fulvous s])ots forming a band. The aiiteunie have clubs hooked 

 at the extremities.
