Khasia Hills. 



JMoore described a male from Sikkim, the type of which is 

 in Coll. Staudinger ; there is one male from Darjiling in the 

 B. M.; 1 have now received several pairs from the Khasia 

 Hills. 



The female differs from the male in the colour of the fore 

 wings being purple instead of fiery red, the fiery-red colour 

 only showing on the edging of the purple ; no cell-spot ; the 

 front half of the thorax is also purple and the upp^r part of 

 the abdomen is smeared with pale purplish grey. The under- 

 side is much as in the male, cell-spot and all but the interior 

 of the fore wing is suffused with purple.
