i66 NYMrilALID.E. SATYRIN/E. ZOPHOESSA. 



On the UPPERSIDE of i\\t /orrMUg in the male there are a dark brown transverse cViscal 

 band and two more or less prominent bands in the cell corresponding to those of the under- 

 side ; and on the kimhoing beyond the lunulated line is a fine dark brown submarginal line, 

 and the margin itself is narrowly dark brown, the narrow space between being ferruginous. 

 On the UNDERSIDE in fresh specimens the ground-colour is a pale yellowish olivaceous ; 

 on the T^rt^cz/z/f are sometimes two inconspicuous small ocelli, one on each side of the lower 

 discoidal nervule, above which is a group of three small white spots near the costa, and a 

 narrow dark line beyond the sufTiised submarginal band. On the hiiukoing there is also a 

 broad basal streak, and the marginal lines as on upperside. We have not yet seen the 

 female. 



Z. goalpara, though apparently very local, has a wide range. The Indian Museum has 

 a single specimen from Sib^agar in Upper Assam ; in the neighbourhood of Darjiling in 

 Sikkim it is found but rarely ; and in the neighbourhood of Simla it is not uncommon in some 

 years at Sidhpore and in the Narkunda forests at about 9,000 feet elevation at the end of 

 July and the beginning of August ; but there is no record as yet of its occurrence in the 

 vast intermediate area. The specimens from Simla differ from those from Sikkim in having 

 on the UPPERSIDE the spots on the hind-wing smaller ; and on the underside in that the 

 yellowish basal area of the hindwing is much more suffused with brown, especially towards 

 the abdominal margin, the pure yellowish tone being confined to the space between the 

 subbasal and discal brown bands above the median nervure, and to narrow diffused edgings to 

 all the brown bands. This suffusion with brown is apparent even in Sikkim specimens, but 

 in them it is far less pronounced and less extended.

Description : " Male : Upperside dark brown, rufous towards the base. Both wings 

 with a submarginal black line. Forewing marked by several rufous-orange spots ; two in the 

 cell, a quadrifid band beyond these, three (one bifid) near the apex, and five below the 

 middle. Hindwino with a rufous-orange band near the outer margin, marked by five black 

 spots ; a submarginal rufous line. Underside rufous-brown; a spot in the cell, which is 

 bordered on botli sides with brown, and a continuous band beyond the middle, sinuated and 

 bordered inwardly with dark brown, both yellow ; a series of four small white spots near 

 the apex, and two submarginal linear brown bands. Hindiuing tinted with green near the 

 base, marked by two short bands of yellow, and followed by a broader band of the same 

 colour ; the outer half of the wing rufous-brown, marked by five black ocelli, with rufous 

 iris and pupil of blue ; a submarginal band of white." {Hewitson, 1. c. in Desc. Lep. Coll.

Rare. Colonel Lang's collection contains a single specimen from Sikkim and there is a 

 single specimen in the Indian Museum, Calcutta.

Description: Male: Upperside of /^fM OT///^.f deep brown. C///Vr brown, ochreous at
