Lepidojitera from the Khasia Hills. 359 



indistinct marginal band, which in this species is absent. 

 Mr. Hamilton H. Druce tells me that this species is nearer 

 T. isceus. Hew., from Borneo, but I have not that species to 

 compare it with. 



Tajuria nela, sp. n. 



$ . Upperside bright ceerulean blue, paler than in T. diceus, 

 Hew. ; costal and apical band black and very deep, limited by 

 the median vein, and then broadly down the outer margin to 

 just below the first median veinlet, where it is rounded off in 

 some examples, leaving the remainder of the margin with a 

 fine black line ; in others it reaches the hinder angle and 

 curves a little on to the hinder margin. Hind wing with a 

 broad blackish-brown costal margin, limited by the subcostal 

 vein ; the costal space pale and in some examples nearly 

 white ; outer marginal line black, with three submarginal 

 blackish spots in the interspaces near the anal angle ; tails 

 black, fringed with white, as is also the cilia of both wings ; 

 anal lobe with a black spot crowned with orange; abdominal 

 space whitish, the white hairs often hiding the orange on the 

 anal lobe. Uuderside grey, paler than in T. longinus , Fabr., 

 but not so white as in T. diceus ; very similar to longinus in 

 its markings; the discal transverse line is, however, more 

 flexuous and curves in on to the costa in both wings at a 

 greater distance from the apex than in longinus • there is also 

 on both wings an indistinct grey subrnarginal line and an 

 indistinct grey band between this line and the margin ; a 

 black spot on an orange ground in the first submedian inter- 

 space near the margin, another crowned with orange on the 

 anal lobe, with a pale lunular mark on a grey ground between 

 them. 



$ . Pale slaty grey above, with some blue scales at the 

 base ; otherwise it is similar to the male. 



Expanse of wings 1^ inch. 



Jaintia Hills. Ten males and two females. 



Above, this species has the appearance of a large bright- 

 looking T.jekana } Moore; the costal band is, however, much 

 broader, the underside is different, and the female lacks the 

 discal flexuous black line above which is such a conspicuous 

 feature in the females of both jehana and longinus. 



Sesiidae. 

 Adixoa cruentata, sp. n. 



$ . Palpi brown above, white below, and crimson at the 

 tips ; antennee orange-red, black above, and with black bands ;
