feet elevation. It flies slowly among dense herbage near the ground in the shade. 
The form described as /tamdeo is considered by Mr. Otto Moller only as a second 
brood of Diores, which he gets from April to June, whilst Ramdeo occurs later in the 
year, from about August to October.” Dr. G. Watt obtained specimens during his 
journey to Manipur (Butler, Ann, N. H. 1885, 302). Numerous specimens in 
Colonel C. Swinhoe’s collection were taken in the Khasia Hills by the Rev. W. 
Hamilton’s native collectors. Major C. H. E. Adamson (List Burmese Lep. 10) 
obtained it ‘not uncommon about Bhamo in the cold season. One specimen also 
taken in Arakan.”” Mr. Elwes (P. Z.S. 1891, 271) records its capture by Mr. W. 
Doherty, but not abundantly in the Karen Hills, East Pegu. Mons. G. A. Poujade 
(Nouvelles Arch. du Mus. Paris, 1592, p. 264) records it from Luang Prabang, 
Laos.

Imaco.—Male. Wings large, broad, short. Forewing subtriangular ; costa much 
arched, apex obtusely rounded, exterior margin almost erect, even; posterior angle 
rounded ; cell very broad; first subcostal branch emitted at one-fifth before end of 
the cell, anastomosed to the costal for some distance before its end and touching the 
base of the second subcostal just beyond its base; second subcostal emitted at two- 
thirds beyond the cell ; discocellulars long, outwardly-oblique and slightly concave 
in the middle; radials from slight angles near upper end of discocellulars ; middle 
median veinlet emitted at a short distance before end of the cell, upper median 
obtusely arched beyond the cell. Hindwing with the apex rounded, exterior margin 
oblique, anal angle slightly produced; first subcostal branch emitted at from half 
length of the cell area, second at an equal distance ; upper median veinlet much bent 
beyond its base, the angle approximating closely to the radial (third subcostal) ; 
cell open; submedian vein straight ; internal vein long; on the upper side there is a 
nacreous-bordered narrow glandular patch of scales situated above the base of the sub- 
costal, the patch being overlapped by a lengthened tuft of long erectile hairs extending 
from below the base of the subcostal; and within the cell there is a large black glan- 
dular patch of raised scales, which occupy the upper middle of the cell, this latter 
patch is not nacreous-bordered. On the underside of the forewing, the basal area 
below the median vein is broadly nacreous and has a very small patch of dull silvery- 
scales below the submedian near its base. Body robust; thorax woolly ; head large, 
with a small pointed frontal tuft ; eyes prominent, large, naked; palpi nearly erect
