Nyhphalinje. 

 Neptis nashona, sp. n. 



3 ? . Like N. vikasi, Horsf., in the coloration on the 

 uppersicle, bands a little whiter. Fore wings with the cell- 

 streak very similar ; the subapical streaks narrow and 

 well separated; the submarginal band rather broad and 

 continuous, not sinuated ; three spots near the hinder angle 

 round and small, decreasing in size to the hinder margin, 

 on which the spot is often very small and does not expand 

 on the margin : on the hind wing the antemeclial transverse 

 band is narrow and expands somewhat on the abdominal 

 margin ; the outer band is broad, well away from the margin, 

 and is not broken up by the veins ; the submarginal band 

 complete and not sinuous ; cilia of both wings white at the 

 apices and opposite the veins. Underside with the ground- 

 colour of the wings chestnut-brown, as bright as in N. cartica, 

 Moore, with the bands nearly as white, corresponding to the 

 bands above, but broader. 



Expanse of wings 2y 6 j inches. 



Cherra Punji. Fourteen males and one female. 



Lycsenidae. 



Deudorix diara } subsp. n. 



$ ? . Above similar to D. epifarbas, Moore. Underside 

 differs from that species in having the upper and outer 

 areas of both wings silvery grey (nearly pure white), making 

 the square patches at the ends of the cells and the discal 

 bands stand out very prominently. 



Expanse of wings 1 fy inch. 



Jaintia Hills. Five males and two females. 



Like a melanistic form of D. epijarbas; but my seven 

 examples are all exactly similar to each other. 



Lehera Skinneri, Wood-Mason and de Nice"ville.

Two males and one female of this very rare species. It is 

 much smaller than L. eryx, Linn., in both sexes ; the male is
