ENISPE. 



The genus Enispe comprises as yet only two species, both of which inhabit the north- 

 eastern corner of India not extending to the Malay peninsula. The typical species has the 

 wings bright orange-red, with several series of blackish markings ; but the other species has 

 very much the colouring of a Discophora. Little or nothing is known of their habits, which 

 are probably similar to those of the closely-allied Discophoras .

A. Forewing with the outer margin straight and the apex acute ; hindwing with the outer margin regularly 

 convex, and the anal angle acute.

 [either side of] the lower discoidal nervule ; the outer margin broadly fuscous black, with 

 faint indications of four or five reddish lunules ; this black border dilated towards the apex,
