SIMISKINA, gen. Nov. 
This genus may be thus briefly and comparatively charac- 
terised. It differs from Abisara in having the lower discocellular 
nervule of the posterior wings much longer than the upper, thus 
resembling Stiboges; but from that genus it is easily distin- 
guished by the subcostal nervules of the posterior wings, which 
bifurcate before the upper end of cell. In shape of wings and 
general superficial features Simiskina resembles Abisara. 
SIMISKINA FULGENS, D. sp. 
Wings above bright ochraceous ; anterior wings with the apex, 
outer and inner margins, broadly dark brownish, with a narrow . 
linear discocellular spot of the same colour; posterior wings with 
the cellular area, the whole area between cell, upper median 
nervule and abdominal margin, and a broad outer margin, dark 
brownish. Wings beneath pale ochraceous ; both wings with linear 
pale castaneous discocellular spots, a much waved castaneous 
fascia crossing the wings beyond cells, recurved, and terminating 
on abdominal margin of posterior wings ; two fainter outer discal 
fascie, the outermost of which is blackened on posterior wings ; 
outer margins pale castaneous on posterior wings, preceded by 
two dark linear fasciz. Body above fuscous; beneath more or 
less concolorous with wings. Exp. wings, 36 mill.
