NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN INDTAN BUTTERFLIES. ] 73 



twice as large, the lowest four times as large as the middle spot ; 

 two well- separated spots towards the end of the cell placed inwardly 

 obliquely ; a spot about twice the size of these in the middle of the 

 second median interspace, another much larger one completely 

 filling the first median interspace below the innermost spot in the 

 cell, another spot below this at about the middle of the submedian 

 interspace and touching that nervure. Cilia concolorous with the 

 wing. Hmdwing with a small round spot near the end of 

 the cell, three equal-sized spots in a straight line on the disc 

 separated by the second and third median ncrvules ; the base of the 

 wing and the abdominal margin clothed with long yellowish-brown 

 setse. Cilia pale yellow. Underside, both wings as above, but the 

 coloration duller. Forewing with the spot in the submedian inter- 

 space much larger, its edges diffused, pale yellow. Hindwing as on 

 the upperside. Antennae and legs black throughout; top of head, 

 thorax, and top of abdomen decreasingly clothed with long iridescent 

 bronze-green hairs, thorax below duller. Female, larger than the 

 male. Forewing with the lowest subapical spot larger than in the 

 male, the two spots in the cell conjoined. Otherwise as in the male- 

 Described from a male obtained by Mrs. Wylly, and a female by the 

 native collectors of Mr. Otto Moller, near Buxa, Bhutan, in August. 

 I know of no near ally to this fine species, the largest in the genus 

 hitherto described.

 interspace, its outer end concave, its inner end convex, anteriorly 

 and posteriorly touching the second and first median nervules ; a 

 comma- shaped spot in the submedian interspace, touching the
