140 Mr. A. G. Butler on neiv Species o/" Agaristklae. 



We liave a male and two fenialcs of the E. vicfn'x of West- 

 wood, all from Nepal ; and as they agree entirely in pattern, 

 1 do not doubt that the two species described above from dif- 

 ferent localities are distinct. 



3. Eusemia ni(jn'pcnyiis, n. sp. 



Like E. adulatn'x, but with the upper division of the central 

 yellow band of primaries narrower, and the lowermost division 

 much broader ; the postcellular yellow spots larger ; the discal 

 series of white spots reduced to minute points, and the orange 

 subanal patch of secondaries reduced to a squamosc dot. 



Expanse of wings 3 inches 2 lines. 



Ceylon {Templeton). Type, B.M. 



"We have E. adidatrix from Nepal and N. India, and the 

 nearly allied E. hellatrix from N. Bengal and Moulmein. 



4. Eusemia nipalensis, n. sp. 



(J . Nearly allied to E. macidatrix of Silhet, but smaller, 

 and differing in the larger and more angular four central yel- 

 low spots of primaries, the brilliant orange (instead of dull 

 deep-red) secondaries, and the bright orange abdomen with 

 narrower transverse black bars : diticrences below as above. 



Expanse of wings 2 inches 10 lines. 



Nepal {Ramsay cC'c). Type, B.M. 



This beautiful species is certainly distinct. 



5. Eusemia distincta, n. sp. 



Allied to the preceding, but differs in having the two inner 

 yellow spots of primaries naiTOwer and almost touching, and 

 the two outer spots white instead of yellow. 



Expanse of wings 3 inches. 



Silhet [DouUeday). Type, B.M. 



Intermediate between E. nipalensis and E. irenea of Bois- 

 duval : all three, as well as several examples of E. vefula, two 

 of E. commumcanSj and the following species, were united 

 with E. maculainx by Mr. Walker. 



6. Eusemia communisy n. sp. PI. XIII. fig. 1. 



Allied to E. communicans (which is closely allied to the 

 Bomean E. Jasciatrix), but with the inner white (sometimes 

 ochreous) bar always irregular, and almost invariably more or 

 less interrupted * ; the outer white or ochreous bar dislocated, 



• The examples with ochreous or ochre-tinted band generally have it 

 broken up into two small spots.
