Forewiny with the basal half of the costa yellow, beyond which is a 

 broad band of castaneous ground-colour; the discoidal streak and 

 the white spots in continuation pure white but much broader 

 than on the upperside ; the four small spots beyond the cell much 

 larger than above and pale bluish ; the subapical spots as above, but 

 their edges less well marked ; a yellow patch of ground-colour near 

 the apex of the wing ; the subraarginal line anteriorly yellow, in the 

 middle bluish, posteriorly white. Bindwing with a subcostal bluish 

 streak outwardly broken ; the discal white band as above, followed 

 by a broad castaneous band bearing a narrow yellow line; the sub- 

 marginal band of the upperside much broader and bluish-white: 

 the outer margin yellow becoming castaneous at the apex. Female. 

 Upperside, forewiny has the spot in the second median interspace 

 very narrow, touching the second median nervule, and well separat- 

 ed from the discoidal streak, of exactly the same length as the spot 

 below it, which latter is bounded above and below by the second and first 

 median nervules, the two spots together forming a perfectly quad- 

 rangular oblong figure ; otherwise as in the male. Bindwing with 

 the discal band narrower than in the male ; the submarginal band 

 wider, pure white instead of sullied. Underside, both wings very 

 much paler than in the male, the castaneous bands almost obliterated, 

 the ground-colour mostly very pale yellow. 



Nearly allied to N. narayana, Moore, from the Western Himalayas, 

 differing in the male on the upperside of the forewing in the 

 discoidal streak being separated from the spot in the second median 

 interspace only by the black vein, and in the spot in question being 

 consequently much larger ; in the underside being much more richly 

 variegated ; and in the presence of the castaneous and black patches 

 of ground-colour, which are entirely wanting in 2V". narayana. The 

 female differs in the colour of the ground of the underside, which is 

 mainly pale yellow instead of " glossy ferruginous." 



The type male specimen in Mr. G. C. Dudgeon's collection was 

 taken in June ; the type female in my own collection was taken 

 in July ; and a second female specimen in Mr. A. V. Knyvett's 

 collection — were all taken at Tongloo on the Singalelah range at an 

 elevation of about 12,000 feet.
