marginal area like that of the fore wing from the postmedian 

 line outward, this line being in the hind wing edged inter- 

 nally by a thick purple-brown line, which, like the post- 

 median itself, is bent and angled before the anal angle along 

 the hind margin. Palpi and antennae white ; head and centre 

 of thorax apparently ochreous; patagia white; abdomen 

 ochreous. Underside dull whitish, with the dark upper 

 markings showing indistinctly through. 



Expanse of wings 32 millim. 



One female from Lifu. 



Distinguished from the allied forms by the shape of the 

 oblique white costal blotch with its purple-brown external 

 edging. 



OlypTiodes tumidah's, sp. n. 



Intermediate in size between conclusalisj Wlk., and violalis, 

 Warr. ; distinguished by the larger swollen second white 

 hyaline spot of the fore wings, round which the somewhat 

 whiter postmedian line is rather bent. In the hind wings the 

 dark marginal border is of nearly uniform width throughout, 

 not, as in the other two species, broadened out towards apex, 

 and its internal edge is therefore nearly straight ; like violalis 

 the whole marginal area is dark and the violet shade straight 

 and near the centre ; fringe of fore wings often wholly dark, 

 the basal dark line always entire ; of fore wings white 

 throughout, and without a dark basal line except just before 

 anal angle. 



Expanse of wings 30 millim. 



A few from Sikkim. 



Glyjjliodes violalis^ sp. n. 



Like G. conclusalis, Wlk., but larger ; differing in the 

 following points : — In conclusalis the violet postmedian line 

 follows immediately after the second of the two hyaline spots, 

 is more strongly concave, and slightly bent both below the 

 costal white spot and before that on the inner margin ; in 

 violalis a fairly broad deep purple space separates the spot 

 from the line, which is uniformly curved from end to end ; in 

 conclusalis the dark edging of the postmedian line is followed 

 immediately by a dull violet shade; in violalis this violet 

 shade is much nearer the centre of the dark marginal area; 

 this difference is still more evident in the hind wings, where 

 in violalis the violet shade runs nearly straight from anal 

 angle through the middle of the dark purple margin, while in
