Col. C. Swinhoe on new Indian Butterflies. 357 



6. Ixias alana i n. sp. 



<$ ? . Upperside lemon-yellow. Fore wings with the 

 basal and costal areas irrorated with greenish ; costal margin 

 black, suffused with greenish yellow, narrow in the male, 

 broad in the female, suffused inwardly and filling up two 

 thirds, sometimes nearly the entire cell ; apical patch black, 

 enclosing a broad orange belt (yellow in the female), divided 

 by black veins into eight areas, the eighth area in the male 

 being a small circle at the upper end of the cell, absent 

 in the female, which has a narrower belt, and consequently 

 a broader inner margin, which thickens much at the end of 

 the cell, where it joins the costal band ; there are also two 

 large black spots in the two lowest areas of the belt ; first 

 and second median branches black, making a yellow spot in 

 both sexes where the second median interspace commences. 

 Hind wing with a broad marginal black band a quarter of an 

 inch deep, a very little broader in the female than in the 

 male. 



Underside lemon-yellow in the male, chrome-yellow in the 

 female, the male with a small blackish spot at the end of each 

 cell ; a blackish patch on the margin of the fore wing near 

 the hinder angle and some slight greyish irrorations along 

 the margin of both wings ; female with the spot at the end 

 of the cell in the fore wing and the patch near the hinder 

 margin large, the latter running in well on the first median 

 branch and narrowing down to the angle, with a discal row 

 of blackish spots running upwards from the patch one in each 

 interspace, lessening in size and paling in colour as they 

 ascend. Hind wing with a small spot at the end of the cell, 

 a blackish patch at the apex, and a few indistinct blackish 

 spots in the disk ; both sexes with minute black marginal 

 points in the centres of the interspaces. 



Expanse of wings, $ ? 2^ inches. 



Maldah, July 1886 ; ten pairs. Barrackpore ; six pairs. 



Allied to 7. colaba, Swinhoe (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1885, p. 142 

 pi. ix. fig. 6) ; differs above in its much deeper black marginal 

 border, and below in having a black patch near the hinder 

 angle on the fore wing of the male and in the bright chrome- 

 yellow colour of the female, the female of I. colaba, of which 

 I have a fine series, being very pale yellow. 



7. Ixias lena, n. sp. 



cJ . Upperside pale bright primrose-yellow. Apical half of 

 fore wing brownish black, enclosing an ochreous-red band,
