inuer area of secondaries, and more interrupted ; there is a broad oblique 

 brownish band on primaries before the ocellus, and a straight broad line of 

 the same colour beyond the ocellus ; four of the live ocelli on secondaries are 

 united in pairs ; the hfth, placed at aual angle, is large and bipupilated. 



5 . bimilar to the male, but the ocelkis of primaries is preceded and 

 followed by a pale band, which unite on the inner margin ; there is a second 

 ocellus, midway between the apical one and the inner angle, and the upper 

 ocellus of secondaries is much larger than the second.

Lethe laodamia, sp. n. 



^ . Allied to Lethe {Debis) davidi, Oberth., but it is much paler on 

 the upper surlace, and the spots on the secondaries are distinctly black ; the 

 hfth with a white central dot, as in davidi, and between this and the inner 

 margin is a small triangular red patch. The under surface is grey-brown ; the 

 primaries have a reddish brown bar across the cell, and there are two bands 

 of the same colour beyond, the outer one oblique and edged externally with 

 whitish ; there are four ocelli on the outer margin placed on a pale lilacine 

 band ; submarginal and marginal lines brownish ; the secondaries have two 

 reddish brown bands and a series of six ocelli, each of which has a pale 

 lilacme zone, and the first and fifth are larger than the others ; the outer 

 margin is reddish brown, traversed by two pale lines. Expanse, 64 mm. 



One male example, taken at an elevation of 6000 feet at 

 Wa-shan, in July. 



Lethe titania, sp. n. 



Allied to Lethe {Debts) serbonis, Hewitson, with which it agrees in 

 many respects on the upper surface, but the colour is rather brighter ; the 

 hmitmg line of the basal area of primaries is angulated ; the pale marks 

 below costa are more obscure ; the white dot in fifth black spot is very 

 faintly indicated, but the first black spot is larger and has a pale centre. The 

 under surface of primaries is pale brown ; the cell is crossed by two reddish 

 brown bars, enclosing a violet-grey space ; beyond the cell is a reddish brown 

 band, which is broadest below costa, where it is outwardly bordered with 

 violet-grey, and tapers towards inner margin ; there is a short band of 

 violet-grey from the apex, in which is placed three faint ocelli ; marginal 

 line violet-grey, edged internally with brownish. Secondaries darker than 

 the primaries, basal two-thirds sufi'used with violet-grey, traversed by two 

 reddish brown bands, the first is narrower than the second, which has a deep 

 outward projection just above the third nervule ; the ocelli are well defined, 

 ' -ch has a violet-grey zone, and the pupil of the fourth is very large; there 

 i-Ta 0^^^^ "^ violet-grey at the outer angle, and the marginal line, of the same
