lower median and submedian vein, the abdominal margin also being reddish- 
ochreous; a submarginal slightly-defined reddish line. Underside with broader 
ochreous-yellow bands than on upperside, the very narrow costal, discal, and sub- 
marginal interspaces between the bands on forewing, and also between the basal 
broad area and the discal and submarginal bands on hindwing being obscure 
ochreous-brown. Body and palpi above blackish; teguhe and abdomen slightly 
speckled with ochreous scales ; palpi and thorax beneath, forelegs, middle and hind 
femora greyish ; middle and hind tibise and tarsi, and abdomen beneath pale ochreous- 
yellow ; antennas black, tip reddish. 
Expanse, d I^q to 1^ inch. 
Habitat. —Assam. 
Distribution. —Of this rare species, Mr. de Hiceville records “ two males, one 
being the type, from Sibsagar, Upper Assam, taken by Mr. S. E. Peal, in the Indian 
Museum, Calcutta, and one in his own collection from Hulunguri, Jorehat District of 
Assam, taken by Mr. J. L. Sherwill, in March. One of the Sibsagar and the Jorehat 
specimen differ from the type in the extent of the red markings on the upperside ; 
in the type specimen the oblique subapical and the lower-discal bands of the forewing 
are separated, and the discal black band on the hind wing is wide, while in the other 
two specimens the former are joined, and the latter is less than half as wide ” 
(l.c. 80). A male, labelled “ Siam,” is in Mr. H. Grose-Smith’s collection.
