which is made up of a large quadrate portion towards the end of 

 the discoidal cell ; a similar portion below it, but 'shifted outwardly 

 somewhat, towards the base of the first median interspace ; and a 

 very small portion occupying the base of the second median inter- 

 space, its outer edge extending beyond the outer edge of the portion 

 below it. Hindwing unmarked. Underside, both Kings dark brown 

 without any gloss, thinly sprinkled with yellow scales (to be seen 

 only with a magnifying glass), which gives the surface a frosted 

 appearance. JBorewing with the inner margin paler than the rest of 

 the wing ; the discal white patch anteriorly extended slightly towards 

 the costa, but not reaching it in front of the subcostal nervure. 

 Hindwing unmarked. Antennae black, but with a most brilliant 

 glistening white ring at the base of the club. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen dark brown, the latter sordid white beneath. 



Nearest to N. albifascia, Moore, from Burma and Sumatra (doubt- 

 fully), and to N. monieithi, "Wood-Mason and de Niceville, from Cachar ; 

 differs from both in having the white patch of the forewing abruptly 

 ending on the first median nervule, instead of extending below it 

 into the next interspace ; it is also a much smaller insect, and is 

 probably the smallest of the genus hitherto described. 



Described from a single female example in Mr. H. J. Elwes* 

 collection obtained by Mr. W. Doherty at Perak in January-Feb- 

 ruary, 1890, and two males and a female also from Perak in my own 

 collection.
