 and 4, interrupting the second line. Hind wings whitish, tinged 

 with red at the base, on the inner third, and along the anterior 

 margin above vein 6, grey at the apex. The central area, from the 

 discoidal cell till hmd margin, is pale vermilion-red, divided by a 

 recurved distinct black discal line. Fringes dark grey from the 

 apex of fore wings till vein 3 of hind, wings, from thence to the 

 anal angle whitish. Under side of fore wings mostly dark grey,

[This species is found at about 7 — 8000 ft. elevation, 

 but seems rare. This is allied to and may possibly be 

 the same as Oryha plangojialis, Walk., of which a speci- 

 men from Sikkim is in the British Museum. — H. J. E.]
