glossed, pale ; a large ocellus pupilled witli purple in the lower median space ; a 

 lustrous lilac-white band across the wing discally, bordered inwardly by a darker 

 ferruginous band broadest near the costa ; a submarginal ferruginous line, within 

 which are a few obscure lilac-white touches, between which and the lilac band lie 

 four good-sized lilac-white spots and some ferruginous touches " (Doherty, I.e.), 



Expanse, S 2^q inches. 



Habitat. — Upper Assam. 



Distribution. — Mr. W. Doherty records " one male taken by Lieut. E. Hartert 

 on the Dikrang near Sadiya, another by me at Kobong between Sadiya and 

 Margherita.* One or two others were seen. In its rather weak flight it somewhat 

 resembles Eulaceura osteria " (J. A. S. Beng. 1889, p. 125). 



Our illustrations of this species on Plate 193, figs. 2, 2a are reproduced from 

 Mr. Doherty's figures above referred to. 



Genus NARSENGA. 



"Wings small, short. Male. Forewing comparatively narrower, somewhat 

 longer, and more regularly subtriangular than in Bohana, the exterior margin more 

 acutely angular below the apex ; first and second subcostals emitted before end of 

 the cell ; cell open. Hindioing broader, less prolonged posteriorly, exterior margin 

 more convex ; cell open ; antennse shorter ; eyes hairy. 



Sexes similarly coloured and marked. 



TrpE. — N. Parvata.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark ferruginous olivescent-brown, darkest at the 

 base, and bright about the cell and exterior margin. Forewing with a paler ferru- 

 ginous ringed auriform blackish mark at end of the cell, preceded within the cell by 

 two obliquely superposed small round spots ; a similar spot also below the cell ; 

 beyond is a transverse inner-discal angulated series of pale yellowish-ferruginous 

 lunules, followed by a subapical superposed series of five pure white dots on a 

 blackish ground, and a small slightly-defined ferruginous-ringed ocellate spot 

 situated in the interspace between the middle and lower median veiulet, beyond 

 which is a pale-bordered blackish submarginal lunular fascia and then a narrower 

 marginal line. Hindioing with a slightly-defined pale-edged lunular mark within 



* One of these specimens was sent by Mr. Doherty, from Margherita, to Mr. Elwes.
