white areas of the uppersicle reduced in size and set in a wide blackish 

 area, a marginal dark lino on the fore wing, and a series of ohsoure dark 

 submarginal dots on both wings. Hindwiwj with obscure mottlings 

 of slightly difierent shades of jjale brown ; three of these between the 

 costal and subcostal veins are bordered by transverse blackish lines ; 

 an irregular blackish fascia extends obliquely across the disc from the 

 submedian space to the radial vein. 



My single female lacks of course the swelling of the upper median 

 vein. The hiudwing is slightly angled in the middle. The lower white 

 area of the forewing is much smaller, being narrow and oblique, occu- 

 pying only one-third of the hind margin, bent inwardly just above the 

 internal vein, its terminal quadrate portion (between the middle median 

 vein and the middle of the iuterno-modian space) being dehiscent out- 

 wardly along the line of the lower median vein. The undei-side is 

 paler, less reddish and more variegated than in the male, with the mark- 

 ings very irregular. Expanse 2J inohos. 



Two males and a female, from the Tenasse'rim Valley, Tavoy district.

Male, above, dark brown, the apical part of the forewing black, an 

 obscure fuliginous whitish baud extending obliquely from beyond the 

 end of the cell to the middle median vein two-thirds from its origin, 

 two obscure whitish spots beyond and below it, one on each side of the 

 lower median vein, the lower sometimes obsolete. Beloiv very dark, 

 variegated, with many shades of brown; the band is dull ochreous, 

 broad and well marked, the upper of the two spots is large and but 

 slightly separated from it, the lower very small, oblique and distinct, 

 there are some costal markings, a snbapical cordate spot, and three sub- 

 marginal blackish dots. The hindwiiyj has the basal half very dark 

 with some paler brown transverse markings edged with dark, a blackish 

 semicircular band with a slight bluish gloss extending across the wing 

 beyond the coll, after which comes a semicircle of joined cordate 

 reddish-brown maculoe, beyond which the ground is again dark, with 

 a liglit brown marginal band near the apes. 



Female, upperside. The band is more distinct and nearly white, 

 extending obliquely almost to the costa and to the middle median vein 

 two-thirds from its origin, the upper of the two spots separated from it 

 only by the vein, the lower smaller and more isolated. Below much 

 lighter and more variegated than the male, the dark submarginal dots 

 forming a complete series on the forewing, the outer part of the hind- 

 wing pale brown, except a largo sordid area centreing round the upper 

 median vein. Expanse over two inches. 



The lower angle of the forewing is in this species somewhat less pro- 

 duced interiorly than in O. a«con, 'the hiudwing of the female somewhat
