Neorina patria. 

 Very similar to Neorina (Crjllo) crislma, Westw., but much smaller, and 

 the colour is more fuliginous ; the outer edge of the creamy-white central 

 band of primaries is sinuous, but clearly defined ; the subapical ocellus is, 

 in consequence of the dark ground colour, very indistinct, and the two white 

 spots above it and one below are placed as in N. hilda, Westw. ; the apical 

 portion of the outer margin is creamy-white, but there are no ocelli on the 

 upper surface of these wings ; there is an obscure pale submarginal band on all 

 the wings, The colour of the under surface is browner than above ; the 

 band of primaries is yellow between cell and costa ; the subapical ocellus is 

 well defined, equal in size to that of N. hilda, and, as in that species, the 

 two black submarginal lines are preceded by a lilac suffusion. On the 

 secondaries there is a large ocellus towards outer angle, and a smaller one 

 towards anal angle ; above the last there is often a more or less distinct 

 bluish spot, sometimes ringed with black ; there are two black submarginal 

 lines, — the outer of these is broad and wavy, the inner narrow and undu- 

 lating ; the area immediately preceding the inner line is suffused with lilac, 

 as also is that of the abdominal margin. Expanse, ^ 90 — 100 mm., 

 $ 100 mm.

 Eagadia latifasciata, sp. n. 



Allied to Bagadia crisilda, Hewitson, but rather browner in colour. 



(? . The central area of primaries is traversed by a broad conical white 

 fascia, the apex of which does not reach the costa, but the white colour 

 extends slightly along the inner margin on each side of its base ; between 

 fascia and base of wing are two pallid transverse bands, and there is a similar 

 band before the outer margin ; neither of these are continued through to the 

 costa. Secondaries have a broad white fascia before the middle of the wing, 

 and an interrupted white submarginal band ; the pallid bands of primaries 

 are continued, and there are some dusky round spots on the central area. 

 Under surface brownish ; the transverse markings of all the wings are white, 

 but those on the primaries approach nearer to the costa, and these wings 

 have a white line on the outer margin : there are eight ocelli (black spots 

 with silver centres and yellowish rings) on the primaries, and four on the 

 secondaries ; of the latter the second is large, oval, and bipupillated, — the 

 fourth also has two pupils. 



5 . Similar to the male, but the inner margin is broadly white, as also is 

 the lower portion of submarginal band ; the submarginal band of secondaries 

 is broad and uninterrupted. Expanse, ^ 50 mm., J 54 mm.

ACROPHTHALMIA THALIA, Sp. n. 

 ^ . Allied to Acrophthalmia chione, Feld.,''- but the white central band is 

 narrower, extending from costa to inner margin on the secondaries, and from 

 inner margin almost to costa on the primaries ; the ocellus on the upper 

 surface of primaries is placed almost exactly as in ^ . chione, but, although 

 smaller, is more distinct, and has a minute white pupil ; the secondaries also 

 have a distinct ocellus towards anal angle ; there are two pale lines parallel 

 with outer margin on all the wings, but these are most clearly defined on the 

 secondaries. On the under surface the ocelli are as above, but ringed with 

 fulvous, and there are, in addition, one ocellus at outer angle of secondaries 

 and two smaller ones between it and that at anal angle ; the white central
