sistiug of a broken, dull silvery line on a deep-brown ground, an obscure 

 outer-discal transverse band, pale on the dark apical and dark on the 

 pale abdominal ground ; an obscure metallic patoli in tbe lower median 



^^^^Female, above, dull brown, a slightly paler area in the middle of the 

 disc. Below the dark area of the forewing is confined to tlie neiglibour- 

 kood of the median spaces on the disc, that of the hindwing to a baud 

 across the wing from the apex to the hind margin, crossing the end of 

 the cell; a distinct whitish spot basally between the costal and sub^ 

 costal veins, the inner transverse line united, crossing the dark area sub- 

 apically; the outer one consisting of pale lunules bordered, especially 

 outwardly, by a dark band, in which there are two dark subapical spots, 

 the second larger. Expanse IJ inch. This species has the hindwing 

 strongly angled at the end of the middle median vein, and quite straight, 

 thenc^'e to the anal angle; there is no trace of tails or lobes. The 

 forewing is not falcate in either sex. The egg and venation are as in 

 amisena and quercetormn. It is a very distinct species, and the male is 

 very richly coloured. 



One male and several females taken on the pass near Wagung, 

 Tavoy district, at 1,.500 ft. altitude.

Mergui, Myitta, common. I cannot find any constant difference 

 between Me'rgui and Perak specimens. The genus Drupadia^ differs 

 from Biduanda in having the third subcostal vein undivided (in Biduanda 

 it is forked just before its termination) and a conspicuous sex-mark on 

 the hindwing above, between the bases of the costal and subcostal veins. 

 Nevertheless, the two are extremely similar in the entire structure of the 

 egg, the larva, and the imago ; and in any system of classification ought 

 to be brought together.

Mergui, Myitta. I cannot find any constant difference between 

 Mergui and Perak specimens. 



35. Biduanda melisa. How. 



One male of this rare little species, Myitta. A similar kind 

 occurs at high elevations in Perak, but whether it is this species or 

 B. scmva, Hew., I am uuablo to say.
