Posterior tibia; black with white median and apical rings, and a silvery ring 

 between these. Forewings very narrowly lanceolate, apex slenderly long- 

 produced, caudate ; blackish ; dorsal edge silvery-lvhite towards base ; three 

 fine white lines on basal area, subcostal from base to :j, rather oblique, median 

 from base to ^, subdorsal rather shorter than half median, ending equally 

 with it ; a broad orange postmedian transverse band, margined anteriorly by & 

 vertical violet-golden-metallic fascia followed above middle by a black dot, and 

 posteriorly by an oblique violet-golden-metallic fascia preceded by a few black 

 scales and interrupted above middle by a short linear orange projection ; a very 

 short white dash midway between band and apex ; a white dash in apical cilia, 

 marked also on undersurface : cilia dark fuscous, with a white costal spot 

 on posterior fascia. Hindwings and cilia dark fuscous. 



Khasis, from May to September ; ten specimens. Differs from all others by 

 the exceptionally enlarged anal valves of ^, which are not conspicuous in any 

 other species ; distinguished also from all the nearly allied species by the 

 combination of median line reaching base, and apical line reduced to a short 

 white dash,

 Posterior tibias blackish, with white median and apical rings, and a silvery ring

 dashes beneath its posterior extremity ; a broad orange transverse postmedian 

 band, margined anteriorly by an almost vertical violet- golden- metallic fascia 

 followed above middle by a black dot, and posteriorly by two violet-golden- 

 metallic slightly oblique spots, edged anteriorly With a few black scales, lower 

 considerably anterior but placed so that it would touch upper if produced, 

 orange colour projecting between but not beyond these ; a short snow-white

 white costal spot on posterior edge of band. Hindwings and cilia dark 

 fuscous. 



N, Coorg, 3,500 feet, in October and November (Newcomc") ; two specimens. 

 Distinguished by the entire absence of the apical line, except in cilia.
