white straight streak, and above the upper ocellus is an apical sinuous white spot; 
on the hindwing there are only five ocelli, the apical being absent; beyond these 
ocelli are two outer submarginal slender violet-blue lines followed by a dark brown 
broader line; anal and caudal angle reddish-ochreous. Body reddish-ochreous; 
thorax olivescent-ochreous ; palpi above brownish-ochreous, beneath white; legs dark 
brown ; middle tarsi whitish above; antennas blackish, reddish beneath, tip black. 
Female. Upperside much paler ochreous, the base darker. Forewing with the 
blackish outer-marginal band broken towards posterior angle and slightly showing 
a bipupilled ocellus. Hindwing with the outer band not reaching the margin; lower

distinct. 
Expanse, S 2^ to 3, ? 3 to 3^ inches. 
Habitat. —Assam; Oachar; Khasia Hills; Naga Hills; Burma; Tenasserim ; 
Malay Peninsula ; Sumatra ; Borneo. 
Distribution. —“ Mr. J. Wood-Mason obtained it in the forests near Silcuri, 
Cachar, from May to August. There are specimens from Cherrapunji, Assam, and 
the Naga Hills, in the Calcutta Museum. Mr. J. L. Sherwill took it in the Jorehat 
district, Assam, in October, Mr. H. M. Parish obtained a female in November in the 
Chittagong Hill Tracts. Capt. C. T. Bingham took a male in the Donat Range, 
Upper Tenasserim, in December, which approaches the figure of Cramer’s Folynice , 
in having the ground-colour of the upperside much darker than the other specimens 
I have seen, and the outer black border broad at the apex of the forewing, the 
underside is also much darker. A female, taken in October also in the Donat 
Range, is also much darker than the Chittagong female mentioned above. It does 
not appear to be a common species anywhere” (de Niceville, l.e. 247). Col. 
C. Swinhoe has received it from the Khasia Hills. Mr. P. Crowley has specimens 
from the Naga Hills, Tounghoo, Upper Tenasserim. Col. C. H. E. Adamson says 
“ it appears to be scarce in Burma; I took four males at Phapoon on the Yunzaleen 
River in November, and have it also from Tavoy ” (List 1897, 25). Dr. J. 
Anderson took it at ee Minthantoung and in Mergui in December” (J. Linn. Soc. 
Zool. 1886, 35). We have verified males from Malacca and Perak, and a Malacca 
female in the Hewitsonian collection. Mr. de Niceville says, “ in N.E. Sumatra it is 
found only in large forest, the males being fond of fasces on forest roads; the 
females being very rare and are seldom seen in collections, perhaps escaping capture 
by the coloration being very different from that of the males, as on the wing the 
female closely resembles a common Cirrochroa ” (J. A. S. Beng. 1895, 429). It 
also occurs in Borneo.
