LEPIDOPTERA INDICA . 
ochreous-yellow, the sixth being situated between the lower median and submedian. 
Hind wing with a similar subbasal and discal line, the latter very slightly dentate 
above the upper median, beyond which are six small-sized ocelli, each with a lilacine- 
white outer ring : marginal lines bordered with lilacine-white ending in a prominent 
triangular anal spot. 
Female. Upperside of both wings paler than in male. Forewing with the 
transverse discal dusky line externally bordered with very indistinct pale yellowish 
spots ; outer marginal spots as in male. Hindwing marked as in the male. Under¬ 
side slightly paler throughout than in male, markings exactly the same. Body and 
legs beneath, and sides of palpi pale brownish-ochreous. 
Expanse, 2-g- to 2f inches. 
Habitat,— Sikkim; Bhotan ; Assam ; Khasia Hills ; Burma. 
Distribution. —In Sikkim, according to Mr. Elwes (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 312), 
“ this must be a very rare species, as I have only one old specimen from Wilson’s 
Collection, and Moller has only one, which differs from Bhotan specimens in wanting 
the rufous margin of the hindwing. It occurs, however, more commonly near Buxa 
in Bhotan, where Mr. Knyvett’s collectors have taken both sexes in July and 
August. I have taken it at Cherra Punji in the Khasia Hills, in September.” It 
was obtained by the late Mr. W. S. Atkinson in Sikkim, and at Cherra Punji. Mr. de 
Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 144) gives Cherra Punji and Sibsagur, Assam, and the Dafla 
Hills, but no precise record of their capture.” Our own collection contains speci¬ 
mens from the Khasia Hills collected by Major Grodwin-Austen. In Burma, Dr. N. 
Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. Bond. 1890, 518) records cc one male, with rufous markings 
on the hind wing well marked, from Bernardmyo, a Hill Station in the Shan States 
at 7000 feet elevation.”
