termen narrowly darker brown or black ; a narrow blue terminal line, well 

 marked in interspaces 1 and 2 becoming obsolescent towards the apex ; a 

 few scattered blue scales on basal half of interspace 7 ; dorsal margin 

 broadly brown ; anal lobe black. Underside : brown with all the pale mark- 

 ings bluish-white. Forewings : a short pale narrow band at the end of the 

 cell ; sometimes one or two pale spots in the cell ; a post discal bluish- 

 white band from just below the costa to vein 2, invyardly recurved and pro- 

 duced upwardly as a fine rather indistinct line to vein 4 which it strikes a 

 little beyond the lower end of the pale streak at the end of the cell, the 

 ground colour between these two pale lines dark brown ; a dark brown 

 terminal border, very dark towards the tornus, inwardly bordered with a 

 bluish-white rather diffuse band, and divided by two narrow marginal bluish- 

 white lines, the outer one very indistinct. Outer half of interspace 1 

 greyish. Hindwing : a sub-basal bluish white band from vein to base of 

 vein 2 ; a discal transverse band from vein 8 straight as far as vein 2 where 

 it zigzags and ending at the middle of the dorsum ; sometimes a pale bluish- 

 white spot between these two bands in interspace 7 ; a short bluish-white 

 marginal streak near base of dorsum ; a sub-marginal bluish white band 

 with diffuse edges, recurved along the dorsum where it is very narrow and 

 quite blue ; a terminal row of diffuse bluish-white lunules ; a large black 

 tornal spot ringed with rufous yellow ; anal lobe black, sometimes sprinkled 

 with a few rufous yellow scales, crowned with rufous yellow which colour is 

 continued for a short distance along the dorsum ; and lastly a fine terminal 

 bluish-white line. Cilia white ; tail black tipped with white. 



Female. Upperside : Forewing : costal margin black, narrow near the base 

 widening out towards Ihe apex ; apex and termen broadly black narrowing 

 towards the tornus ; remainder of wing bright sky-blue with purple reflec- 

 tions in some lights ; two very indistinct reddish patches in interspaces 3 

 and 4; a black streak on the discocellulars. Hindwing: costal margin 

 broadly black-brown ; termen narrowly black ; the remainder of the disc 

 bright blue as on forewing, not quite filling interspace 5 ; outer portions of 

 veins 2 and 3 well indicated by black scales ; a fine greyish-blue terminal 

 line becoming obsolescent towards the apex. Underside : a small indistinct 

 reddish spot on the bluish-white marginal line in interspace 2 of forewing. 

 Otherwise as in male.

A good number of males and two females were taken by Major Evans and 

 my native collectors on Suroifui mountain in the Eastern Manipur Hills at 

 about 8,000 — 9,000 feet in June and July, and another female and several 

 males in August or September. 



Zephtrtjs vittata, n. sp. (PI. IV, figs. 42, 43, J, $). 



Male. U])perside : bright green with deep blue reflections in certain 

 lights. Forewing : costal margin very narrowly black towards the apex : 

 apex and terminal margin rather broadly black. Hindwing : costal margin 

 broadly black ; terminal margin black, rather broader than on the forewing, 

 and widening outwards the tornus. Underside : grey-brown. Forewing : 

 costal margin and outer two-thirds darker than the ground colour; disco- 

 cellulars defined by two bluish-white lines, between which the ground colour 

 is darker brown with some orange scales next to the outer line. A post- 

 discal transverse broad pale band from costa to vein 2, where it ends in a 

 point, inwardly sharply defined by a narrow whitish line, a subterrainal 

 whitish line. Hindwing : a sub-basal bluish-white line from vein 8 to lower 

 edge of the cell ; discocellulars defined by a bluish-white line, a post 

 discal narrow bluish -white line rather straight as far as vein 2 where it 

 forms a W and then recurves back to the middle of the dorsum ; a subterminal
