Eastern Pier ides. 379 



T. zar'inda ; outer margin of fore wings concave to the apex ; anal 

 angle slightly produced. Above, colour the same as T. ncro ; 

 upper wings with the base and costa dusky; a black border rather 

 broad at the apex and vanishing at the outer angle, extending in 

 points on the nervures, which are all black ; a row of fine dusky 

 sagittate spots on the nervures within the border, and a small 

 angular spot at the upper corner of the discoidal cell. Lower 

 wings with a narrow interrupted border, formed of spots across 

 the ends of the nervures, from which a black line extends a short 

 distance along each ; base of the wings dusky. Beneath, hardly 

 differs from T. 7:ero, except that the submarginal spots on tlie 

 upper wings are less defined and further from the margin. 



Expanse of wings 3^ inches. 



J/a6.— N. India (Coll. Moore). 



This fine insect has a very distinct form from either of its allies, 

 and probably inhabits some limited region of N. India.

Plerls domitia, Feld. Wien. Ent. Monats. vi. p. 285. 



Hab. — Luzon, Philippine Islands (Coll Wall.). 



Hardly distinguishable from T. nero. Has rather broader fore 

 wings, and generally a distinct dusky band across the hind wings 

 beneath ; the first and second median nervules of the upper wing 

 are not black, as they seem always to be in T. nero.

44. Tachyris boiiruensis, n. sp. 



Female. — Above, red ; base of all the v^ings dusky black, paler 

 on the lower wings downwards to the anal angle, extending to the 

 end of the cell in the uppers, where it sends off a prolongation at 

 right angles to near the border, and then branches downwards in 

 a waved submarginal line, distinct on the upper but almost obso- 

 lete on the lower wings ; the costa narrowly black to the apex, 

 which is black, whence a border of moderate width, and dentate 

 on its inner edge, extends to the anal angle. Beneath : upper
