13. Zemeros retiarius sp. nov. 



Male. — Lpperside resembles Z. ji.eijijafi Cram., but is paler brown; the anterior 

 wings are more acute at the apex ; the dark brown spots on both wings are 

 bordered outwardly by pale tawny lines, instead of spots as in Z. fegyas. and the 

 submarginal rows of dark .spots are more conical and are bordered internally by a row 

 of tawny hastate markings. 



Underside is much paler than in Z. Jieijyas ; the pale tawny lines beyond the 

 dark spots and the submarginal hastate pale lines are wider, the latter being confluent 

 at their base and forming a continuous zigzag band. 



Ihe female resembles the male on both sides, but is paler. 



Expanse of wings : vude, \\ inch ; female, 1| inch. 



Hob. Male (in the collection of Mr. Grose Smith from Dr. Staudinger), Samhawa. 

 Female, Adonara. 



Closely allied to Z-flegyas, but a larger insect, and chiefly distinguished by the 

 rows of pale hastate markings which cross the discs of both wings beyond the middle. 



14. Neopithecops umbretta sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside: both wings brown-black. Anterior wings centred by a

 outwardly from the apex to the lowest median neryule by a white band, in which is 

 situate a submarginal row of brown-black bars between the veins. Cilia white, with 

 black tips at the end of the veins. 



Underside : white, with sulimarginal markings closely resembling those in iV. 

 diiponcheli, but less clouded with fuscous towards the apex of the auteiior wings. 

 On the posterior wings the inner row of brown markings which crosses the disc is less 

 irregular and nearer the outer margin, and the black spot on the costal margin is 

 nearer to the apex. 



The/e7rta^e resembles the 'male, but is paler brown-black than on the ujijierside.

15. Chilades saga sp. nov. 



-Mai.k. — Upperside: both wings with the base, cell, and the discal area beyond 

 and below it to the inner margin brilliant metallic blue, divided by the black veins; 

 outside the blue area the wings are broadly bordered by brown. On the posterior
