prominent than on forewing. Tail shaded with pink as in selciie. Eye-spots of 

 underside pale piuk. 



?. Colour as in »t'lene, but tail with just the faintest trace of pink. Eye-spots 

 smaller, the discal line thicker, the outer margin of the forewing more convex and 

 the apex more obtuse.

<■>. Rinaca zuleika orites subsp. nov. 



c??. Differs from 71. .-. zidcika Hope (1843), which occurs in Silhet and the 

 Khasia and Naga Hills, especially in the shape of the eye-spots. On both wings 

 the second line from margin composed of much thinner curved bars. The disco- 

 cellular reuiform s{)ot of forewing longer and narrower ; the corresponding spot on 

 hindwing likewise incurved on distal side, being longer transversely to the veins 

 than in the basi-distal direction, while this eye-spot is rounded in .;•. zideika and 

 longest basi-distally. Moreover, the discocellnlar bluish white curved bar situated 

 in the eye-spot is narrower in the new form than in z. zuleika. 



Hab. Sikkim ; a long series of both sex'es. 



This is the form commonly found iu collections as R. zuleika, while true zuleika 

 is rarer, at any rate iu museums. 



7. Loepa anthera sj). nov. 



t??. Closely allied to L. oberthuri Leech (1890). Body and wings deep 

 chrome-yellow ; tarsi vinous red like underside of femora and of tibiae, ringed with 

 black. Eye-spots incurved on distal side. SC of forewing from cell (?) or from 

 angle of cell (<?). 



Wings, above, similar in markings to those of L. oberthuri ; forewing suffused 

 with vinous red from base and hindmargiu to M^ and beyond the postdiscal double 

 line, a deeper tint in between these lines and along their outside, following the 

 curves of the lines and extending forward to near the black subapical spot ; discal 

 line less deeply zigzag than in oberthuri, anteriorly curving costad as in that species, 

 but being here placed nearer to the postdiscal double line than to the ocellus ; 

 postdiscal double line a little thicker than the discal line, being posteriorly shaped 

 as in oberthuri, but anteriorly remaining double to costal margin, the outer one of 

 the double line almost evenly curved between the veins from M- to 11' and edged 

 with a white line between SC" and costal margin ; a white submarginal line, con- 

 tinuous, incurved between the veins (in miranda, kntinka, etc., the bars representing 

 the line are excurved), no fuscous spots along this Hue, as is the case in hatiuka 

 and allies ; black subapical spot hardly larger than in sikkinia, smaller than the 

 chrome-yellow interspace which separates it from the postdiscal double Hue, a slight 

 indication of a second black spot below 11' ; iu front of black spot a white line, 

 outside wliich the ground is yellowish ochraceous, not red as iu sikkima, kntinkn., 



etc. Hindwing: abdominal area nut suffused with red, except at inner side of 



antemedian line ; discal Hue less deeply zigzag than in oberthuri, inner iwstdiscal 

 line less dentate ; white submarginal line regularly undulate, as in oberthuri, being 

 incurved lietwecn the veins and excurved across them. 



V ndenide : ocellus on both wings reduced to a narrow half-moon which is 

 deep vinaceous, 3 to 4 mm. wide, its proximal edge reddish brown, followed by a 

 white line, u central Hue black edged with whitish on outside, along outer edge of
