Elymnias Godfery?, n. sp. 
Allied to EZ. vasudera, Moore, but differing above by the 
much paler colouring of the wings, the fuscous shadings in 
the Indian species being replaced by bluish; the anterior 
wings are greyish white, shaded with bluish, which becomes 
darker beyond the cell; a broad outer marginal dull bluish- 
black fascia, widest at apex; nervures and nervules dark 
bluish, the median nervules and submedian nervure more or 
less margined with dark bluish ; posterior wings asin Ff. vasu- 
dera, but the markings bluish and the outer margin very broad 
at anal angle. Wings beneath as in #. vasudera, but the 
dark mottled markings much smaller and closer; anterior 
wings with two small submarginal ocellated spots (black, 
with greyish centres), divided by the lower discoidal nervule ; 
posterior wings with eight similar submarginal spots, the two 
uppermost largest, the first between and near the bases of the 
subcostal nervules, the second above the discoidal nervule, 
and the remaining spots following regularly between the ner- 
vules—two between the third median nervule and submedian 
nervure—-(anal angle mutilated) ; the red basal colouring of 
the posterior wings occupies the largest portion of the cell, and 
extends to the base of the abdominal margin; the yellowish 
space does not extend from the abdominal margin to the upper 
median nervule, as in P. vasudera, but terminates suddenly at 
the second median nervule.

3. Anterior wing black; basal third (eonsisting of lower 
and inner half of cell obliquely terminating at a little beyond 
base of lower median nervule, and from thence continued to 
inner margin at about one fourth from posterior angle) sul- 
phureous; the black area is inwardly angulated beneath the 
lower median nervule, and is crossed by a broad irregular 
orange-coloured fascia, divided by the black nervules, com- 
mencing a little above the costal nervure, and outwardly oblique
