Imago. —Male and female. Upperside olivescent-black, the veins outwardly 
lined with olivescent greyish-brown. Forewing with the discoidal streak, and 
transverse discal bands on both wings, as in B. Sankara, but all narrower, smaller, 
and less prominent, those of the male, in the dry-season brood, being sullied-white,

Habitat. —Sikkim; Bhotan ; Jaintia, G-arro and Naga Hills; Burma. 
Distribution. —The type specimens are recorded from Cherra Punji; Colonel 
Swinhoe has also examples from the Jaintia and Naga Hills ; a male from the G-arro 
Hills is in Mr. W. Rothschild’s collection. We have it also from E. Pegu, taken by 
Mr. W. Doherty, and from Bhotan, taken by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon. Specimens
