 and the Battnk Mountains in Sumatra. By .Major J. M.

Iiagadia simplex, sp. u. 



llah. Battak MDuntiiiis, Sumatra: June 189(5. 



Description. — MaJe. Uppersicle pale t'ulii^iiious brown, 

 crossed by two darker tuscous bands running parallel to one 

 another from the costa of the fore wing to the inner margin 

 of the hind wing, the outer being much broadened on the 

 hind wing. There is also a shorter band proximal to the 

 body, which, starting parallel to the others on the fore wing 

 costa, ends at the origin of the subniedian of the fore wing. 



From tlie ajiex of the fore wing to the inner angle of the 

 hind wing runs a submarginal row of small indistinct fuscous 

 spots, one in eacli interspace. The wing-margins are nar- 

 rowly fuscous, the colour being bounded by a narrow sub- 

 marginal band looped on the fore wing ami on the hind wing 

 parallel to the margin. 



Underside similar in markings to the upper, but the 

 ground-colour pale buff and the row of spots silver instead of 

 fuscous. 



The antenna?, head, thorax, abdomen, and legs like those of 

 R. crisia, Hiibner, from which this species differs in its 

 generally pale ground-colour, and in the ocellate band of 

 crisia being reduced to mere pupils of silver below and fuscous 

 above. 



Cynthia circe, sp. n. 



Hob. Toungoo, Burma (March to June) ; Beeling, Te- 

 nasserim. 



Description. — The species is allied to C. erota, Fabr., and 

 pura, Switdioe, from Cherra Punji. The male has exactly 

 the colour of thr.t sex of piira, Swinhoe, and only differs in 

 the greater irregularity of the dark line crossing the wings 

 from the middle of the costa of the fore wings to the anal 

 angle of the hind wings and in the slightly more produced 

 tail at the third median vein of the hind wings. The dark 

 wing-markings tend to be a little more distinct. 



Female. Upperside differs from that sex of C. erota in the 

 white band of both wings being much broader, extending 

 decreasingly in breadth to the anal angle of the hind wing, 

 and the submarginal area beyond the white band being golden
