in reality a fourth, transversal line, its middle portion excavated between the radial 
and middle median veinlet, its lower end zigzag, the posterior angle being broadly 
bright ochreous with two black central dots and short ascending outer white streaks. 
Hindwing crossed by three similar-positioned oblique almost straight very slender 
black lines, the two inner angularly bent upward near the abdominal margin, the inner 
one extending upward in a black streak to the base of the costa; two submarginal 
black streaks curving from the costal angle to near anal angle, their lower ends 
waved, followed by an outer parallel slender line, then by an oblique streak from 
the upper marginal angle, and again by a slender marginal line, the latter ending in 
two black caudal marginal streaks ; lower area of abdominal border, the anal lobe 
and lower outer border of the streaks bright ochreous ; anal lobes with black spots 
and short white streaks. Underside white; transverse lines and marginal borders 
as above, but paler; costal basal band and abdominal marginal markings absent. 
Body above with a dorsal and lateral longitudinal black streak bordered with ochreous 
and white ; body beneath and legs white ; palpi above clothed partly with black 
and ochreous hairs, beneath white; antennae black, partly annulated with white 
beneath. 
Expanse, d 2 to 2^, inches. 
Habitat. —Upper Burma; Tenasserim ; Malay Peninsula, Penang; Sumatra; 
Sarawak; Borneo. 
Distribution. —“Found commonly in Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, 
and Borneo. In Sumatra it is found on forest roads, where it settles with wide¬ 
spread wings on moist places and by the side of small pools ; if pursued, it settles on 
the underside of leaves by the roadside. On the wing, when flying rapidly along a 
forest road in search of moisture, it may easily be taken for a Pierine butterfly” (de 
Uiceville J. A. S. Beng. 1895, 429). Lieut. E, Y. Watson took it in “ Upper Burma 
in the spring, and Capt. Bingham in the Donat Range in April, and in the 
Thoungyeen forests in December” (id. Butt. Inch 253). Mr. E. Bartlett records it 
as “very plentiful at times in Sarawak, having the habit of flying along the roads 
in a direct line, very similar to a Pierine butterfly, for which it may be mistaken.”
