irregular, transverse bands, the first sub-basal, disconnected in its middle, the second 
and third short, from the centre of the wing to the costa, before which they meet, 
the third from the abdominal margin near the angle right across the wing. Antennae 
brown, pale below with browm rings, a long white streak below the club, and the tips 
white, head and body brown. 
Female. With the black outer band of the forewing and the broad costal black 
band of the hindwing similar in shape to those of the male, but all the rest of both 
wings is white above and below ; on the upperside on the forewing there is some 
ochreous-grey suffusion at the base, and there is a sub-costal band of the same colour 
from the base to the apical black band ; the hindwing is without markings except for 
a terminal somewhat suffused line of the same colour, but some examples are without 
it; on the underside there is some ochreous-grey suffusion, on the outer margin of the 
forewing and the hindwing is more or less entirely suffused with this colour, the 
centre portion being paler than the borders; all the markings are more or less 
obsolescent, but those that can be distinguished are identical with the markings of 
the male, except that the lower band on liindwings below, which stop in the middle 
of the wing, has two teeth pointing hindwards. 
Expanse of wings, £ 9 2 inches. 
Habitat. —Sikkim, Assam, and Bhutan. 
The females appear to be commoner than the males ; we have one from the 
Khasia Hills, and there is one in the Hewitson Collection in the B. M. without 
locality. Moore described the male of multistrigatus as the male of this species.* 
We have examined his type in the B. M., and de Niceville and those that followed 
him do not appear to have seen the true male.
