1865.] FROM THE NORTH-WEST HIMALAYAS. 301 
This species appears in the height of the rainy season (July and 
August) about the hedges and banks in Lower Kunawur, altitude 
6000 to 7000 feet. Good fresh specimens are of a velvety black- 
brown above, and beneath have the lower wing very whitely salted, 
so that as they fly they look distinctly party-coloured. 
91. EREBIA NIRMALA, nN. sp. 
Male. Upperside uniform dark brown; fore wing with a sub- 
apical black ocellus, having two white pupils and a dark ferruginous 
iride ; hind wing with a similar but single-pupilled ocellus near anal 
angle. Underside greyish brown, discal portion of fore wing ma- 
roon-brown ; ocelli of both wings as above, but with the iride yel- 
low ; a white dot below the ocellus of fore wing, and a discal series 
of four white dots anterior to the ocellus of hind wing. Cilia brown. 
Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. N.W. Himalayas. 
Remark.—Allied to £. scanda, Kollar ( Higel’s Kaschmir, p- 452), 
but differs in having a somewhat more elongated fore wing. On the 
underside it may be distinguished by the absence of the numerous 
white striz on the hind wing, and by there being a single ocellus only 
near the anal angle. 
92, EREBIA KALINDA, n. sp. (PI. XXX. fig. 5.) 
Female. Upperside greenish velvety brown ; both wings with a 
ferruginous discal patch, that on the fore wing being subapical ; fore 
wing with an apical black spot, having a white pupil and yellow iride, 
Underside dull brown ; fore wing as above, but the ferruginous 
colour extending anteriorly across the discoidal cell; hind wing with 
a submarginal series of white dots; ferruginous patch obsolete. 
Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. N.W. Himalayas. 
This is local, and I saw very few ; at two places, on the hill-sides 
below the Runang and Werang passes—not at the summit of the 
pass, but some 2000 feet lower down. A weak low flight it has, 
amongst the grass and flowers. 
93. EPINEPHILE CHEENA, n.sp. (Pl. XXX. fig. 6.) 
Dark brown. Male with a subapical, black, ferruginous-encircled 
spot ; also a similar minute spot some distance below it. Underside 
pale greyish brown ; fore wing with its discal portion ferruginous ; 
a medially submarginal dark brown streak and an ill-defined discal 
transverse line; the subapical ocellus as above, but with a white 
pupil and yellow iride ; hind wing covered with minute delicate brown 
strize. 
Female with three black ferruginous-encircled ocelli, the upper 
and lower large, the central small. Underside as in male, but having 
the lower ocellus as in upperside, the central one being obsolete. 
Expanse of ¢ 1£ inch, 2 2 inches. 
Hab. Kunawur. 
Allied to 2. janira.
