upperside, as also is the carmine tip of the tail. Palpi , orbits, head, and thorax 
anteriorly carmine; thorax posteriorly and abdomen above black; thorax and 
abdomen beneath carmine; anal valves carmine; antennas and legs black.” 
Female. Upperside much paler. Porewing fuliginous-brown; vein streaks 
black. Hindwing fuliginous-brown basally, black posteriorly; discal white patch 
similar to male, except that the upper portion is broader and shorter, its two lower 
portions also shorter and not reaching inwardly to the base of the interspaces, the 
lowest portion being extended for some distance into the submedian interspace ; the 
portion within apex of the cell is also absent; the submarginal lunules, edges of the 
angles, and tail spot being sullied pinkish-white. Underside similar to the upperside. 
Hindwing with the lunules a little brighter, and with a small white sub marginal spot 
in the subcostal interspace. 
Expanse, S 5, ? 4f inches. 
Habitat. —N. Shan States ; N. China Hills, Upper Burma. 
Distribution. —Described by de Niceville from a single male captured by 
Major F. B. Longe, R.E., in the Kokang State, at 3500 feet elevation, in the North 
Shan States, on the Chinese frontier east of Bhamo, April 5th, 1895. A worn 
female in Mr. Walter Rothschild’s collection, from which our description of this sex 
is taken, was caught by Capt. E. Y. Watson in the North Chin Hills, Upper Burma, 
at 5000 feet elevation. A male, taken by Col. C. T. Bingham at Bernardmyo, Shan 
States, Burma, is also in the British Museum. 
Our illustration on Plate 429, fig. 2, is copied from Mr. de Niceville’s figure of 
the male.

Imago. —Male. Upperside. Porewing fuliginous-black, darkest basally; with 
a black longitudinal streak between the veins and others within the cell. Hindwing 
black, palest basally ; with a lower-discal white patch composed of three portions 
placed in the interspaces between the lower median and radial veinlets, or this 
patch is pinkish-white and composed of five portions extending from the anal 
marginal angle to the interspace above the radial, the upper portion being either 
small and contiguous, or united to the submarginal lunular spot in the same inter¬ 
space, and thus forming a transverse band crossed by black veins ; beyond are 
three submarginal narrow lunules, the upper one being white or pinkish-white, the
