lateral black line; palpi and legs ochreous ; antennas black, annulated with white 
beneath.

Habitat. —Kumaon; Nepal; Sikkim; Bhotan ; Assam; Silhet ; Burma; Upper

Distribution. —Mr. W. Doherty records it from the “ Kali Valley, 2000 to 3000 
feet elevation, in Kumaon” (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 122). It is “ a common species 
in Sikkim at low elevations, and occurs to the Eastward as far as Sibsagar, in 
Assam” (de Niceville, l.c.). Ool. 0. Swinhoe records it from the Khasia Hills (Tr. 
Ent. Soc. 1893, 289). Mr. W. S. Atkinson says it “ settles on the underside of leaves 
with the wings distended” (MS. Notes). Col. C. H. E. Adamson obtained it in the 
c< Moulmein District, but not common; one specimen also taken in Upper Burma in 
February” (List Burm. Butt. 26, 1896). Col. Adamson also has a male taken at 
Pyin Myoung, Shan Hills, in July. It is recorded from “ Moulmein to Meetan, and

CHERS0NESIA RAHRIQIDES (Plate 307, fig. 4, 4a, $ ?). 
Imago. —Male. Upper side reddish-ochreous. Forewing crossed by two sub- 
basal and two inner-discal slender black lines, which are equidistant one from the 
other and are very slightly excurved, followed by a medial-discal slender straight, 
dusky fascia, an outer-discal black recurved line, and then by two submarginal 
almost straight lines ; between the outer-discal and inner submarginal line are two 
subapical and two posterior short black slender linear streaks, the lowest of the 
latter being broken and less linear; within the cell is a short black very fine line 
contiguous and parallel to the inner subbasal line, a similar oblique line beyond the 
second subbasal line, and two similar short lines bordering the discocellular veinlets. 
Hindiuing crossed by two subbasal and two medial-discal equidistant slender black 
straight lines, a medial-discal slender straight dusky fascia; an outer-discal and an 
inner submarginal slender black line centred with a linear row of fine slender black 
short streaks, the two latter outer lines being joined at the lower median veinlet and 
ending in a double black-speckled ringlet centred with two short black streaks above 
the anal angle ; outer submarginal line extremely slender, being black-and-yellow 
speckled, and ending in two blue lunules above the anal lobes, these two lunules
