Type: Khasia Hills. In B.M. 



This species is the type of the genus Micronissa^ and was 

 wrongly identified in my paper above referred to as margari- 

 tata, Moore {Urapteryx margaritata^ P. Z. S. 1867, p. 612), 

 the type of which is unique, and which, though superficially 

 like this species, belongs to another genus.

 two transverse brown central bands, both bands indistinct,

 irrorations thickened into a whitish smeared band on the outer 

 margin of fore wings below the apical falcation.
