368 LYCANIDA. TAJURIA. 
The figure shews both sides of the type female specimen from Sikkim in the collection of 
Mr. G. C. Dudgeon. I have seen many additional specimens of this species, all from Sikkim, 
since the description above was published, some of which were taken in October.

DescRIPTION: ‘‘ MALE. UPPERSIDE, forewing as in A. rukma, mihi, but lacks the ferru- 
ginous spot. Aindwing as in A. rukma, but the anal lobe dull ochreous instead of ferruginous 
UNDERSIDE, 60th wings pale reddish-ochreous or stone-colour. forewing with the ae 
margin paler, the usual blackish patch towards the base of the inner margin; all the mark- 
ings much reduced and attenuated ; the short streak at the base of the cell and ring-spot 
beyond entirely absent in one specimen, but present in the other, the other bands and spots 
sparsely marked with silvery asin 4. nipalicus, Moore. Hindwing also with all the bands 
highly attenuated and marked with a silvery line; a very small ferruginous-orange spot 
only on the anal lobe.” 
“ The species is known to me by two male specimens in the collection of Mr. Otto 
Miller, one of which was taken on 8th May, 1888. Except in size, they are nearly exactly 
alike.” (de Nicéville,\.c.) Since the above was published, I have seen several more specimens 
of this species from Sikkim in the collections of Messrs. Knyvett and Dudgeon.

Genus 147.—TAJURIA, Moore. (PLates XXV and XXVIII).

“Differs from Pratapa, Moore [=Camena, Hewitson], in the absence in the male of 
both the tuft of hair on the forewing and the glandular patch on the hindwing. FOREWING, 
broader and more regularly triangular in form ; venation similar. HINDWING, comparatively 
narrower and more produced hindwards ; dzscoidul cell broader, the sudcostal and median 
nervules emitted further from the base. Type, Z. longinus, Fabricius.” (AZoore, 1. c.) 
“« FoReWING, subtriangular ; costal margin moderately convex, apex subacute, ouser margin 
moderately convex, év#er margin slightly sinuate ; costal nervure terminating on the costa 
nearly opposite the end of the discoidal cell ; jist subcostal nervule emitted near the middle of 
the cell, second subcostal about midway between the first and third, ¢hird subcostal a little before 
the end of the cell, ¢hird and fourth subcostals bifurcating at about or a little beyond half 
the length of the third ; désco-cel/ular nervules suberect ; third median nervule emitted at the 
end of the cell, second median nearer to the third than to the first, 77st median emitted at 
about two-thirds from the base. HiNDWiNG, subovate ; costal margin obliquely convex to 
the apex; afex rounded; posterior margin obliquely rounded, prolonged in a more or 
less distinct angle at the apex of the second median nervule, and with two slender 
fails situated respectively at the apices of the first median nervule and of the sub- 
median nervure; costal nervure extending to the apex of the wing; subcostal nervules 
bifurcating at about one-third before the end of the cell; ¢hivd and second median net- 
vules with an apparently common origin a little before the end of the cell, frst median 
a little beyond the middle of the cell ; submedian nervure slightly curved outwardly, internal 
nervure strongly curved inwardly, Bopy robust ; palpi porrect, the apex of the second 
joint not reaching the upper margin of the eyes.” 
“ This genus, proposed by Mr. Moore, is evidently—from the description—closely allied to 
Pratapa of the same author, a genus which I have hadno opportunity to examine, The only
