Forewing with the three discal spots as above, the one in the 

 submedian interspace on the upperside developed into a large 

 outwardly- diffused white patch occupying the middle of the 

 inner margin ; a large chrome-yellow quadrate patch above the 

 spot in the cell extending from the subcostal nervure to the costa. 

 Hindicing with the oval pale yellow discal patch of the upper-side 

 developed into a broad anteriorly-increasing discal chrome-yellow 

 band extending from the abdominal margin to the costa, but with 

 a break between the submedian and internal nervures. Palpi, thorax, 

 and abdomen- above and below clothed with bronzy-green iridescent 

 hairs ; antennae with shaft black, club broken off. 



The Rev. Walter A. Hamilton, who obtained the two 

 specimens above described, possesses the wings only of a third 

 specimen placed between talc of what appears to be the male of this 

 species captured in the same locality. In the forewing there are 

 two small well- separated spots in the cell instead of one large one, 

 the two spots below are smaller, the spot in the submedian inter- 

 space entirely wanting ; otherwise as in the female. This specimen 

 does not apparently possess any secondary sexual characters. 



I do not know any near ally to P. sarala. The shape of the 

 wings agrees with that of the species of the genus Parnara, the 

 probable male having the forewing less broad, the apex more acute 

 and the outer margin more straight and inwardly oblique than in 

 the female. 



13. PARNARA PARCA, n. sp., PL B, Fig. 10, ? . 



Habitat : Sikkim, Khasi Hills. 



Expanse: $, 1*9 inches. 



Description : Female. Upperside, both icings deep vinous-brown. 

 Foreiving with three small subapical spots forming half a circle ; 

 two elongated well- separated spots at the end of the discoidal 

 cell ; a rhomboidal spot near the middle of the second median 

 interspace ; another occupying a similar position in the first median 

 interspace, anteriorly and posteriorly bounded by the second and first 

 median nervules, its inner end well rounded, its outer end convex 

 and the lower corner produced ; a rounded spot in the submedian 

 interspace touching that nervure a little boyond its middle — all these 

 spots semi-transparent lustrous white ; cilia from the inner angle to 

 the second median nervule dull ochreous, anteriorly of the colour of 

 the wing. Hindicing with five nearly equal-sized spots forming a rough
