396 MR. H. J. ELWEs ON SOME [May 6, 



In the female the three black spots are smaller, and more widely 

 separated than in B. arama or B. molleri, resembling those of 

 B. signa S . 



I took this species on Tonglo, at 10,000 feet elevation, in July, 

 where it was rare ; there was also a male in Moller's collection. 



d. Pure white, without bands. 



22. BizoNE CANDIDA. (Plate XXXII. fig. 2 c? , 3 5 .) 

 Chioncema Candida, Feld. Reise Nov. t. 10 6. fig. 17. 



I had described this species already under the name of Candida, 

 vi'hen Mr. Butler called my attention to Felder's figure, which appears 

 to be the same insect and has the same name. As, however, it has 

 not been described, I annex a short diagnosis. 



c? 5 . Pure white, with crimson band across the thorax ; a crimson 

 spot in its centre and on the tegulte (these are absent in a specimen 

 taken at Rala). A crimson line along both sides of the costa as 

 far as the sexual fold above and the large lobe below ; the base of 

 the costa is also pale crimson. The male has, in addition to the 

 three black spots in a triangle, a fourth partially concealed by the 

 fold as in B. signa. Tarsi white banded with black. Palpi white 

 below, black above. 



Hab. Sikkim, 8000-10,000 feet elevation ; Kulu, in Indian Mu- 

 seum {fide Swinhoe) ; Rala, N.W, Himalaya, 6000 ft. (McArthur). 



1 have received several males and one female of this species trom 

 native collectors on Tonglo, and have no doubt it is a good species. 



Species of doubtful position.

 (1869). 



I cannot identify this species with certainty, as the description of 

 the female only might do for B. molleri. 



The type is in the Devon and Exeter Museum, where, on appli- 

 cation to the curator, I have not been able to see it. It was said to 

 have come from Benares. There is in Mr. Moore's collection a 

 male labelled N.W. Himalaya, which may be of this species, and 

 which differs from B. yiittifera only in the pure white hind wings, 

 and from B. dohertyi only in the absence of the lunule on the hind 

 wing. For the present this species must remain obscure. 



24. BizoNE suBORNATA, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 550, $ (1854) ; Moore, 

 Lep. Ceyl. ii. p. 60, t. 103. 4. 



The type of this is a single female in bad condition from Ceylon; 

 the male is unknown. Mr. Moore has one from Ceylon, another 

 female from the Andamans, and a third from Borneo. Col. Swinhoe 

 has a female from Khandalla, near Bombay. All these appear to 

 belong to one species, which may be described as like B. puella, 

 but with the bands straighter, as in B. pallens, Butl., and with 

 three spots instead of one.
