underside ; and on the hindwing there are two small ocelli in the interspaces above and below 

 that which bears the ocellus described above between the second and third median nervules. 



no. Mycalesis rudis, Moore. 



Satnanta mdis, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1880, p. 166. 



Habitat : N. India, Manipur, Naga Hills, Orissa, Upper Tenasserim. 



Expanse : 175 to 2'io inches. 



Description : "Male : Upperside similar to S. inahara, the pale band on the fore- 

 •wing being narrower. Underside ochreous-brown, with darker brown strigse, somewhat 

 greyish-brown on external borders. Both wings with an ochreous-yellow transverse discal 

 band, the inner margin of which is well defined, the outer suffused ; a submarginal series of 

 minute indistinct white-speckled spots, the two subanal being ringed with black ; an indis- 

 tinct ochreous-speckled pale streak crossing middle of the cell on both wings." (Moore, 1. c.) 



Captain C. T. Bingham took two males of this species in the Donat range in Upper 

 Tenasserim in January, and a female in the Upper Thoungyeen forests in April. Mr. A. O. 

 Hume took a single male specimen in the eastern hills of Manipur in May. In some 

 specimens the whitish bar on the upperside of the forewing is as narrow and indistinct as in 

 the following species M. lepcha ; the two are very nearly allied, but the transverse bar of the 

 underside appears to be constantly much broader in this species than in M. lepcha. The 

 underside is irrorated with grey at the base and abdominal margin of hindwing, as well as on 

 the outer margin. The ocelli of the upperside appear to vary ; in all the Burnian specimens 

 there are three on the forewing, and two on the hindwing distinct ; in the Manipur specimen 

 those of the hindwing are indistinct and of the forewing almost entirely obsolete. A single male 

 from Kurdnh, Orissa, is a little aberrant. It is somewhat smaller ; there are no ocelli on the 

 upperside of the hindwing, and the discal band on the underside is yellow, not ochreous- 

 white, and oulwaixUy more diffused. The underside of this specimen closely resembles some 

 varieties of M. perseits from the same locality. 



The FEMALE differs in its much paler colouration, the transverse band of the underside 

 being almost white, and in lacking the sexual tuft. 



III. Mycalesis lepcha, Moore. 



Sainania lepcha, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1880, p. 167. 



Habitat: N.-\Y. Himalayas, Nepal, Burma. 



Expanse : 20 to 2'i inches. 



Description: "Male: Upperside brown. Tvr^w/w^ with an indistinct pale transverse 

 discal narrow line, and two or three submarginal indistinct blind ocelli, the upper two minute. 

 Ilindiving with one or two similar subanal ocelli. UNDERSIDE brighter coloured, greyish exter- 

 nally, covered with numerous darker brown strigse. Both tvings with a prominent very narrow 

 ochreous-yerow transverse discal band, and a submarginal series of indistinct minute black and 

 white speckled spots ; a pale speckled indistinct streak crossing both cells." (Mooi'e, 1. c.) 



A single male of this species has been sent to us from Moulmein by Capt. C. H. E, 

 Adamson, and another from Chamba in the N.-W. Himalayas by Major C. H. T. Marshall ; 

 in both these specimens the lower ocellus of the forewing alone is prominent on the upperside ; 

 the upper one and those of the hindwing being almost completely obsolete ; the underside of 

 the Moulmein specimen is irrorated with ochreous on the external margin. 



Colonel Lang's collection contains four specimens from Mussoorie taken in May at 7,000 

 feet elevation.
