NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN BUTTERFLIES. 149 



nent anteciliary black line, which becomes lost in the ground-colour of 

 the wing after it has passed the anal white patch ; anal lobe black in the 

 middle, outwardly defined with white. Tail twice as long as in the male, 

 white, with a narrow black centre. Cilia of the hindwing white, very 

 long on the abdominal margin, becoming hair-brown towards the apex 

 of the wing ; of the forewing hair-brown. Underside, both wiiigs dnW 

 silvery-grey. Forewing with the oosta narrowly, the apex somewhat 

 broadly, the outer margin deoreasingly, pale cupreous. Ilindioing with 

 an outer-discal series of black spots outwardly dofi ned with white, the 

 three anterior ones small, round, slightly increasing in size, the one in the 

 submedian interspace crescentio, with a minute dot placed against it in 

 the internal interspace, with another dot anterior to it on the abdominal 

 margin ; an oval black spot near the margin in the first median inter- 

 space ; the submedian interspace near the margin sprinkled with black 

 scales ; the anal lobe black ; a prominent anteciliary black thread from 

 the anal lobe to the disooidal nersule, also extending along the abdo- 

 minal margin for a short distance anterior to the anal lobe. 



The specimen described is in the collection of Major F. B. Longe, R.E., 

 who captured it on the 8th January, 1887, at Ngokgale, near Hsipaw, 

 Korth Shan States, Upper Burma. Males appear to be fairly oommion in 

 the Khasi Hills of Assam, and vary in size from 1"5 to 1*9 inches in 

 expanse ; they are also very variable in the extent of the markings oil the 

 underside, many of those described by me in the type being frequently 

 obliterated. I may note here that the Deudorix calderon, Kheil, Rhop. 

 Nias, p. 33, m. H6, pi. iv, fig. 25, nude (1884), appears to be closely 

 aWied to T). gee tid la and to ^' Eapala^' hyj^argi/ria, ^Iwe'ri, Proc. Zool. 

 SoG. Lend., 1892, p. 64:3, pi. xliii, fig. 7, male, from the Karen Hills in 

 Burma ; but I have seen no specimens of D. calderon from Nias, though 

 the same species a[)pears to occur in Java, a male from thence in 

 Mr. Frubstorfer's collection having been sent to me for identification. 

 The three species above named are all very closely allied.
