 India. By Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., 



[E«ad December 4th, 1878.] 



The following series of Lepidoptera has recently been 

 received from Mr. William Grant, who collected the 

 Avhole of them in the immediate vicinity of his bungalow 

 on the Bnrtoll Tea Estate at Cachar. Eight of the 

 species are new. 



Among the Butterflies the most interesting are a fine 

 pair of Salpirix splendens — a species hitherto very rare in 

 collections, a new species of the same genus, a series of 

 Stictoplcea binotata, a pair of S. microsticta, and one or 

 two less brilliant but rare species of Neptis and Mycalesis. 

 Among the Moths are several good species belonging to 

 the genera Mocroglossa, Leucoplilebia, Sijntomis, Etc- 

 rusia, Attacus and Hypucala, one or two of them being 

 new to science.
