♦ 
The solitary specimen before me does not agree either with 
Moore’s description, or figure, but agrees closely on the under sur- 
face with the figure given in Mr. Distant’s work. The oblique dis- 
cal fascia of the anteriors is not united with the outer margin, and 
the color of the spots is a deep red. The insect may prove to be 
a distinct species. $ .

The specimens have the ground color on the under side of the 
wings yellower and brighter than in Indian examples. $ , 9 .

Mr. Hewitson gives as the habitat of this species, which he 
briefly diagnoses, u Neilgherries and Macassar.” I find a very 
marked difference between the examples from the Himalayan re- 
gion and those sent me by Mr. Doherty. In the Sikkim and Ten- 
asserim specimens in m}^ collection there are two translucent spots 
at the end of the cell, three small subapical spots arranged in a 
curve, two subquadrate spots located respectively on the second and 
third median interspaces, and a very small spot near the middle of 
the posterior margin ; all these upon the upper surface of the prima- 
ries. There is also in the female a faint submarginal band of ochre- 
ous spots upon the primaries. The fringes are futhermore white, 
checkered with fuscous at the end of the nervules. In the speci- 
mens from Macassar the spots at the end of the cell are wanting, 
as also the small spot near the middle of the posterior margin of 
the primaries. There is no trace of the submarginal band of ochre- 
ous spots in the female, and the fringes are uniformly concolorous. 
The Macassar specimens agree most nearly with Mr. Hewitson’s 
description, and I am inclined to think that the Indian form should 
be separated as a distinct variety, or species. $ , 9 .
