364 Col. C. Swinhoe on new Indian Butterflies. 



cell ; a large square spot in the first median interspace, a 

 smaller spot outside in the interspace above, and two sub- 

 apical minute spots ; in one specimen a third still more minute 

 spot near the costa. Hind wing without markings ; cilia of 

 both wings yellowish white, with black marks opposite the 

 veins. 



Underside slightly paler. Fore wing with the spots as 

 above and with a row of submarginal, indistinct, small, pale 

 yellowish spots, one in each interspace, down to the second 

 median interspace. Hind wing with a whorl of seven minute 

 white spots in the interspaces round the cell, commencing 

 near the base, with two in the costal interspace, one behind 

 the other ; an indistinct submarginal row of faint whitish 

 spots, ending with two diffuse, larger, confluent spots in the 

 interno-median interspace ; cilia of both wings as above. 



Antennas with the outer half of the club yellowish white ; 

 hook dark chrome-yellow. 



Expanse of wings 1^% to lyV inch. 



Nilgiri Hills, western slopes, 2000 to 3000 feet ; common. 



A wonderful mimic of Halpe cerata, Hewitson. The ab- 

 sence of the discal oblique series of raised scales in the fore 

 wing above (the sexual characteristic of the genus Halpe) at 

 once distinguishes it from that genus ; above it very nearly 

 resembles H. cerata, but the discal whorl of spots on the 

 hind wing is deficient ; below the spots and markings are of 

 a similar pattern, but are very minute. 



14. Suastus MpunctuSf n. sp. 



$ ? . Upperside dark blackish brown. Fore wing with a 

 small, lunular-shaped, semidiaphanous, whitish spot below 

 end of cell in the first median interspace, and a smaller round 

 spot outside in the interspace above. Hind wing without 

 markings. 



Underside paler, with the spots as above, and with markings 

 and coloration as in S. aditus, Moore. 



Hook of antennas dark ochreous. The spots in the females 

 are larger than in the males ; in one or two specimens of both 

 sexes there is a very minute subapical spot, but most of the 

 males are without it, and some of them have only one small 

 spot in the second median interspace, the other being obso- 

 lete. 



Expanse of wings l T 2 o to l T 3 y inch. 



Nilgiri Hills, western slopes, 2500 feet. September, 

 common. 



Allied to S. aditus, Moore ; differs in the absence of the
