380 MR. H. J. KLWEs ON SOME [May 6, 



Besides the species of this genus described above I have from 

 Sikkim the following : — 



A. zebraica, Butl. J. L. S. xii. p. 356 (1876) ; 111. Het. v. p. 27, 

 t. 84. fig. 9, vrhich is most like A. zebra, but has 8 yellow patches 

 on the fore wing and the fringes all yellow. It occurs also iii the 

 N.W. Himalayas. 



A. postvitta, Moore, which is entirely without yellow markings, 

 having only a white patch on the hind wing, white fringes to the 

 hind wings, and some white on the leg^ and underside of body. 



A sixth species, described by Mr. Moore as from Darjeeling, but 

 of which all the specimens in the Atkinson Collection are labelled 

 Calcutta, is A. fuliyinosa, which is entirely brown without spots, 

 and I think belongs to another genus. 



I have also compared my three new species with the collections of 

 the British Museum and those of Messrs. Moore and Druce, and 

 found that they agree with none of the species described from other 

 parts of India. 



Genus Clelea, Wk. Cat. ii. p. 465. 



Clelea nigroviridis, n. sp. 



Black, with iridescent green markings on fore wings and thorax. 

 Base of fore wings, neck, and head showing golden and purple 

 reflexions in some lights. Hind wing black, with a green stripe 

 from base to margin, near anal angle. Beneath, fore wing black, paler 

 towards the hind margin, with narrow green stripes from base half- 

 way up the wing ; hind wings black, with costal green stripe, another 

 below it forking outwardly, and a broad green stripe extending to 

 margin. Antennae shining purple. Legs and underside of abdomen 

 tinged with shining purple and green. 



This differs from Clelea chain, Moore, and C sapphirina, Wk., so 

 much in the colour of its iridescent markings that 1 am obliged to 

 suppose it distinct. I have specimens from iSikkim which agree fairly 

 with both of these species, which may be identical, and one other 

 came with C. nigroviridis from the Naga Hills, which also agrees 

 with the Javan Clelea. There is, however, a specimen from Formosa 

 in the British Museum, which, though in bad condition, may be the 

 same as C. nigroviridis^. 



Described from a single male taken by Mr. Doherty in the Naga 

 Hills. 



Genus Atossa, Moore, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 577. 



Atossa nelcinna, Muore, I. c. t. 67. fig. 7, 6 • 



This was till recently the only species of the genus, and the type 

 in Mr. Moore's collection was unique. As figured, the venation is 

 not very clear, but Mr. Moore has kindly sent me an accurate drawing 

 which agrees with the figure here given of Mr. Leech's specimen 

 (Plate XXXIV. fig. 1). It will be seen that the subcostal veui has 

 four branches, of which the first arises from al)out half the length of 



* I have since seen bettei- male specimens from Formosa in Coll. Moore which 

 he calls C. siipp/iirhid , and wliich differ from niiae in having the markings 

 blue, and a blup baud nn onLer margin ol' lore wii){j.
