lays stress upon the fact that the second subcostal nervule of the 

 hindwing is given off further from the base in Satsuma than in Thccla, 

 but obtains to such a trifling extent as to be hardly worth mentioning. 

 The males of Satsuma have precisely the same curious "male-mark " 

 in the forewing as is found in Thecta, the neuration at the apex of the 

 discoidal cell in consequence differing in the opposite sexes. Satsuma 

 has the outer margin of the forewing slightly, and of the hindwing 

 more prominently "elbowed," and the anal angle of the latter wing- 

 is produced into a lobe, but all these features are found also in the 

 type species of the genus Strymon of Ilubner, which I also consider 

 to be a synonym of Thecla. 



22. EAPALA EEFULGENS, n. sp., PL F, Fig. 18, 6 . 



Habitat : Khasi Hills. 



Expanse : 6 , 1 "4 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings black, but more or 

 less overlaid with a rich purple gloss of almost exactly the same 

 shade as is found in the male of Lehera eryx, Linnaous. Forewing 

 with the purple gloss confined to the basal half of the wing, leaving 

 the costa, apex, and outer margin all broadly black. Hindwing with 

 the outer margin narrowly black, the costa and abdominal margin 

 broadly pale fuscous ; anal lobe black, bearing outwardly a few 

 turquoise-coloured scales, inwardly orange, anterior to which again 

 is a small white patch on the extreme margin. Cilia of the forewing 

 black, of the hindwing also black but narrowly tipped with white. 

 Tail black with a white tip. Underside, both icings uniform pale 

 buff. Forewing with two short dark lines (the outer one outwardly 

 defined with whitish) at the end of the discoidal cell ; a particularly 

 even slightly recurved prominent darker discal band, not quite reach- 

 ing the costa, ending posteriorly on the submedian nervure, 

 made up of an inner darker portion outwardly sharply defin- 

 ed on both sides by a fine white line ; an inconspicuous darker 

 marginal fascia. Hindwing with the discoidal markings as in the 

 forewing, but larger and more prominent ; a similar discal band but 

 strongly dislocated in the middle, broken up into three portions, the 

 posterior portion curved upwards to the abdominal margin ; a 

 marginal series of whitish lunules ; the anal lobe large, jet-black ;
