About Pseudoborbo bevani (Moore, 1878)

This description refers to the male of Pseudoborbo bevani. On the upperside, the wing color is dark olive-brown, and the cilia are pale brownish-cinereous. The forewing has a single small, pale white, semi-diaphanous spot at the upper end of the cell, three contiguous subapical spots, and an additional spot below these. It also has two larger spots positioned obliquely below on the disc, plus a very indistinct small spot visible in the middle of the submedian vein. The hindwing has no spots. On the underside, the wing color is greyish olive-brown, and the visible spots are slightly more prominent than they are on the upperside. The hindwing has a discal series of five small, somewhat indistinct white spots. One specimen was collected from Salween, Moulmein by Lt. Bevan. A male specimen of this species collected from Calcutta by the late Mr. Atkinson is held in the collection of Dr. O. Staudinger. This species has also been recorded from Karachi, Mhow, Poona and Bombay by Swinhoe; from Calcutta by de Niceville; from Orissa by Taylor; and from the Nilgiris by Hampson. Mr. Elwes also states he holds specimens from Mandi, N.-W. Himalayas, Khasias, and Sikkim.
