white centre and yellow outer circle, the two last ocelli geminatcil, all bonlereil with 

 white, a niaiyinnl narrow white lunulalcil band, and extreme outer nuirginal yellowish line." 

 (Moore, 1. c.) The yellowish marginal line is as usual narrowly edged with blackish on both 

 sides. Cilia while. On both sides the white bordering of the ocelli is very broad outwardly, 

 and coalescent forming a white band, and having only a series of brown lunules between it 

 and the white marginal line. 



Z. 7'isr,i7'ii appears to be rare. Colonel Lang's collection contains three male specimens 

 from Sikkim. The kemale is unknown. 



The single remaining species we have boon obliged to keep separate ; for in the absence 

 of specimens for examination it is impossible to ilclcrmine its alfuiities ami proper place 

 in the genus.

DESCRirrio.v: "Uim'erside white. Forr.ving with the costal margin from the base to the 

 middle, the whole of the cell and a little beyond it, a triangular spot between the first and 

 second median nervules near their base, the apex ( where it is broad, and markeil on the costal 

 margin by a small triful white spot and two small black ocelli, each dotted with white) and 

 the outer margin ( where it is deeply sinualed on the inner border), and a round spot near the 

 anal angle, all dark rufous-brown : a submurginal line of dark brown. IIiHikoiiii^ crossed 

 beyond the mi. Idle by a series of seven blind ocelli : the first, second, third, and fourth large, 

 the others small. A submarginal scries of lunular brown spots : the outer margin rufous- 

 yellow, bordered on both sides with black. Uni)ERSIi>e as above, except that the fomoiug is 

 nearly white, the spots on the uppersiile being scarcely visible ; that the hindwiiii; has perfect 

 black ocelli, each with a white centre and rufous iris ; and that the submarginal lunular spots 

 are also rufous." 



"This is a remarkable species, and cannot be compared in colour with any other butterfly." 

 ( Iicwitson, 1. c. ) We have never soon this species.
