cell to outer margin bright yellow, the apical area clouded with very pale ochreous- 
brown; marked with three black spots along base of the costa, a spot at base of 
cell, two rounded spots across its middle, an elongated constricted spot beyond from 
the costa, and a streak close to end of cell; beyond is an irregular streak decreasing 
from the costa to the upper median veinlet, followed by some upper-discal irregular¬ 
shaped streaks and a lower loop-mark between the upper medians, and then by three 
outer transverse series of various narrow-shaped marks, the lowest of each series 
being disposed between the upper medians, the extreme outer-margin bordered by a 
slender black band, and above the posterior angle is an irregular, broken, diffused 
black patch; the intervening spaces between the cell markings and partly between 
those of the upper disc and of the outer margin, being bright ochreous-red. Hind¬ 
wing. Ground-colour white. Basal interspaces to the middle of the costa with 
partly confluent black streaks intervened with ochreous-red; a series of elongated 
black streaks disposed across the disc from middle of abdominal margin to near the 
anterior margin before the apex, the streaks being placed singly between the veins, 
except in the discoidal interspace, where it is in three portions, the intervening 
veins and their borders being lined with ochreous-brown, brightest between the 
discoidal portions and at outer end of the upper streaks; beyond are two pairs of 
submarginal prominent black lunular lines, each pair being traversed by a similar 
bluish-white line, the inner pair being also somewhat sinuous at the anterior end, 
and the interspace between the pairs is irrorated with pale green and black scales ; 
outside the end of the outer pair is a row of three similar black-and-white lunules 
extending from anal angle to the caudal angle, the caudal portion being broadly 
black, each of these and those above the tail are outwardly bordered by bright 
yellow, and the outer black lunule at anal angle is broken by a small bright ochreous- 
red bar; intervening between the discal black streaks and the inner submarginal 
line is a parallel row of diffused black lunules. Body above white ; base of thorax 
and of abdomen very woolly; collar with two black bands; head black and white 
spotted; palpi above and beneath black, its sides white; legs whitish above, 
blackish beneath ; antennae blackish above, red beneath. 
Expanse, d 4f 0 inches. 
Habitat. —Lower Burma. 
Distribution and Habits, —The type specimen was taken in Tounghoo, and is 
in the collection of Mr. P„ Crowley. Mr. W. Doherty obtained “ three specimens at 
Petichaung, at the foot of the Karen Hills, E. Pegu” (P. Z. S. 1891, 284). Mr. T. 
A. Hauxwell states that 6S it occurs rarely in the Ataran Valley in March, and in the 
Tounghoo Hills, 3000 feet elevation, in April and June.” As stated by Mr. A. B. 
Wallace, in <e the Malay Archipelago, with regard to the very closely-allied Prothoe 
Galydonia , this species flies high and settles high up on tree trunks with closed
