each spot is encircled by a pale ochreous-yellow ring, these rings being broadened 
exteriorly and altogether forming a nearly straight submarginal edge to the series 
of ocelli, the yellow extending above the ocelli to the costa before the apex. Hind- 
wing crossed by an ill-defined pale bordered angular discal line, followed by an outer 
series of five oval black spots, each encircled by a pale ochreous-yellow outer ring, 
the latter ring more or less broadened exteriorly, and either touches or extends to 
near the dark-brown submarginal sinuous line; marginal line slender, brown. 
Underside as in the male, except that the pale border to the discal brown band is 
broader, and on the hindwing there is, in some specimens only, an additional small 
well-formed ocellus situated at the end of the discal band above the anal angle.

Habitat. —Burma. 
Distribution and Habits. —We are indebted to Capt. 0. T. Bingham for the 
discovery of this species, “ two females being taken in Upper Tenasserim in the 
Upper Thoungyeen forests in March and April” (Butt. Ind. i. 173). Dr. N. 
Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 518) “ obtained two males and a female at Yatsouk 
f 
and Bogeathat, at the north end of the Nyoungwe Valley in the Shan States; being 
found in open scrub-jungle, where the trees are of medium size. It is fond of 
settling in the middle of the road, and then flying off into the jungle to settle on a 
tree-trunk, and is consequently difficult to catch. 5 ’ Capt. B. Y. Watson (J. Bombay 
Nat. Hist. Soc. 1891, 34), during the Chin-Lushai Expedition of 1889-90, obtained 
it “ on the road from Pauk to Tilin in October and November, and at Tilin also in 
November, April, and May. Those caught at the end of the year were in poor con¬ 
dition. The spring brood appeared about the middle of April, and did not differ in 
markings from the autumn brood. It settles almost invariably on tree-trunks, on 
which I usually obtained it in the very early morning. It is crepuscular in its 
habits, but does not seem to frequent very dense jungle. When seen either at rest 
or on the wing, this species seems altogether out of place in this fauna, and one 
would rather expect to find it sitting on stones in the hills in company with Hip¬ 
parchus. It rests with its wings closed over the back, its underside harmonizing 
well with the bark of tree-trunks.”

Mr. W. Doherty in the Karen Hills and at Momeit, Upper Burma, at 1500 to 2000 
feet.’’
