This curious insect combines the characters of the /.*K(/)0)'-gvoui) and the booles- 

 grouj) ; it has the blue and green dispersed scaling on the uj)perside of the wings and 

 the cottony stripes of the iianoc-group, and the l)uffish colour of the body of the 

 6oo<es-group. Two specimens from the Khasia Hills present rather obvious dif- 

 ferences from those obtained by Mr. Sherwill in the Naga Hills: they are decidedly 

 smaller; on the upper surface of the hindwings they are more denselj' covered with 

 blue and green scales, the red anal mark forms a complete ring, and there is a small 

 submarginal red lunule between the lower median nervules which is not jiresent in 

 the Naga Hills specimens; below, the red submarginal patches of the hindwings are 

 much more densely covered with violet scales ; the edges of the hindwings are more 

 deeply scalloped. 



In specimens from both localities the fifth suliniarginal spot on the hindwings 

 below is sometimes obliterated or almost so. 



? . Agrees with the mdle. The anal red mark on the hindwings above is larger, 

 roanded, marginal, and includes a small black spot ; the outer margin of the hindwing 

 is distinctly sinuate between the median \eins, and at the end of the upper median 

 nervule produced into a short but obvious tooth, as at the extremity of the lower 

 di^coidal vein.
