 Anterior wings with the following very pale ochraceous spots :■ — two in and near end of cell, three — small — 

 in almost up tight series beyond cell and divided by the fourth and fifth subcostal nervules, five in oblique 

 discai series, of which the fourth is exceedingly minute and placed beneath the lower median nervule 

 (omitted in the figure here given) ; posterior wings with two very small pale discai spots — tbree in female, 

 Wings beneath paler than above ; anterior wings spotted as above ; posterior wings with a small pale spot 

 at upper end of cell, and a discai series of four small pale spots. Body above concotorous with wings ;

 Andaman Islands; Port Blair (Wood-Mas. dc de Nic). — Malay Peninsula; Province Wellesley 

 (coll. Dist,). 



This species seems closely allied to the Gegems contigua and G. javana of Mabille, both 

 described as from Java,* and principally differs from the description of those species by the 

 number of the discai spots on the under surface of the posterior wings.
