this and the margin is another less distinct similar striga. The 

 anterior wings have hesides two fuscous strigae in the discoidal 

 cell, inclosing a paler space, and a third striga commencing on the 

 costa beyond the cell, and extending obliquely nearly to the anal 

 angle, slightly bordered internally with whitish. The posterior 

 wings have a transverse fuscous striga near the base, and another 

 commencing near the middle of the costa, and reaching nearly to 

 the anal angle. Just within the pale submarginal striga, near the 

 costa, is a round yellowish spot inclosing a brown one, placed 

 towards its outer margin, and between the first and second median 

 nervule a round black spot, sprinkled with blue atoms anteriorly, 

 and surrounded by a yellowish and black iris ; anal angle with a 

 geminate spot, composed of black and white atoms ; head, thorax 

 and abdomen fuscous. Doubleday, 1. c. 



The male has a patch of brown hairs capable of erection at the 

 base of the hind wings on the upper surface. The apical angle 

 of the fore wings and the anal angle of the hind wings is much 

 more rounded than in the Odana ; the body is also much less 

 robust. The branches of the post-costal vein of the fore wings in 

 this species are of the same number and almost identical in their 

 arrangement with those of Th. Odana. 



Sp. 3. Thaumantis Ramdeo, Moore, MSS. 



This species, or perhaps more properly local variety, is closely 

 allied to Th. Diores, differing from the typical specimens of that 

 species " in being somewhat larger and in having the brilliant 

 blue patch very large (being an inch in diameter either way), and 

 which extends over the whole of the middle of the wings. The 

 under side is paler than in Diores, and the wavy line running near 

 the exterior margins of the wings in Diores, is nearly obsolete in 

 Th. Ramdeo, and the two ocelli on the hind wings are very small." 



Habitat Darjeeling, Upper India. 



Expansion of the fore wings of the male 4 inches, of the female 

 4| inches.
