costal patch at the base, and the black spot double, of quite a 

 different shape, and horizontal, and the whole colour blacker; 

 the large duller bronzy patch is different in shape. 



Expanse 50 mm. 



Hub, Momi, 4000 feet, November and December. 



Dtlias laheri, sp. n. (PI. VI. fig. 4.) 



cJ . Head, legs, palpi, and antennas black ; thorax black, 

 but the hairs on the underside are distinctly brown, those on 

 the iippevside being of the usual bluish white. Abdomen 

 grev above, white beneath, 



Upperside : fore wings white, with a narrow black costal 

 border and a large black apical patch tapering to the angle, 

 the white area bounded by a convex line. 



Hind wings white, with a narrow indefinite black border. 

 Fringes of both wings black. 



Underside : fore wings white as above, with black apical 

 patch coinciding with upperside ; in the middle of this is a 

 band of quadrate tapering yellow spots, six in all ; these run 

 into a fine subterminal white line. 



Hind wings black ; the basal patch does not reach the 

 body and is pear-shaped, yellow, with white on the upper 

 edge; beyond this is a large pear-shaped white blotch 

 covering most of the cell, and with a longitudinal yellow 

 stripe through it. Beyond this edging the black border is a 

 vermilion narrow band starting from the costa and sweeping 

 round the white patch, but not touching it. It terminates 

 near the angle and is followed by a white band, broken up 

 by the black nervures ; the fold is powdered with white and 

 yellow scales. 



Expanse 54 mm.

I have a female differing on the upperside in the heavier

 hind wings, the upper half of which has a sharp-cut internal 

 margin, whilst below the lower part of the cell and radial 

 area is suffused with lemon-yellow.
