NYMPHALINZ. (Group CHARAXINA.) 235 
HARIDRA KAHRUBA (Plate 171, figs. 1, la, b,c, d 2). 
Imaco.—Male. Upperside bright fulvous, as in H. Marmaz, with similarly 
disposed markings. Forewing differing in the comparatively broader black 
marginal band, and in the much more sharply-defined submarginal sinuous line, 
which latter line is also narrower at its costal end, thus giving the intervening 
broad lunular marks a more prominent shape throughout their extent. Mindwing 
with the medial costal sinuous streak distinct, and the submarginal black 
spots somewhat larger and more irregularly-oval in shape, the central dot 
ochreous-white. Underside with the ground-colour pale Indian yellow, the 
transverse sinuous lines more sinuously disposed than in Marmazx, but very sharply 
defined, their bordering shades, and the submarginal dentate fascia, and also 
the interspace between the two medial discal sinuous lines, being dark ochreous- 
brown. 
Female. Upperside uniformly paler than in male. orewing with the markings 
less defined. Hindwing with the submarginal row of black spots also less defined, 
but each with a central dentate mark. Underside as in the male. 
Expanse, d 3% to 4, ¢ 44 to 4} inches. 
Hasitat.—Sikkim ; Sylhet; Cachar; Khasia Hills; Burma. 
DistripuTion.—Presuming this to be the species referred to by Mr. de Nicéville 
as Lunawara, “itis much rarer than Marmar in Sikkim, but occurs at the same 
seasons and elevations” (Sikkim Gazetteer, 1894, 148). Specimens from Sikkim 
taken in July, August, and November, by Mr. Otto Moller, are in Mr. W. 
Rothschild’s collection. We have it from Sylhet, Cachar, and Colonel Swinhoe 
has it from the Khasia Hills. We have also identified specimens from the 
Arakan Hills, taken in November by Major C. H. HE. Adamson, in the Thoungyeen 
forests, Upper Tenasserim, and in September, by Captain Bingham; and also 
specimens from East Pegu.

Tmaco.—Male. Nearest allied to H. Aristogiton. Forewing differs in the inner 
edge of the black marginal band being bent inward from the costa to the upper 
radial, whereas, in Avistogiton, the edge is more even, and comparatively nearer the 
subcostal streak ; and the submarginal lunules are comparatively broader. Hindwing 
with similar black macular band. Underside similar. 
Female. Upperside paler than in male; similarly marked as the same sex of 
Marmaz. Forewing with the discocellular duplex streak and the subcostal streak
