NAG A HILLS BUTTERFLIES. 127 



rathei" pale line, outwardly bordered with dark brown, coalescing with the 

 postdiscal line at vein 2 and recurved along the dorsum for a short distance ; 

 the area between the postdiscal and subterminal bands and dorsal area 

 thinly irrorated with bluish-white scales ; the terminal border broadly and 

 thickly irrorated with similar scales ; a black spot near tornus ringed with 

 dark ochreous-red ; anal lobe black sprinkled with a few ochreous red scales 

 and crowned broadly with the same colour which is continued as a narrow 

 streak along the dorsum for a short distance. Cilia greyish. Tails black 

 tipped with white. Female. Upperxide : deep brown becoming blackish to- 

 wards outer half of forewing. Forewing : three contiguous large orange 

 spots beyond the cell and in interspaces 1 and 2. Hindwing : unmarked. 

 Underside: browner than the male. Forewing with three orange spots as on 

 upperside ; mai-kings on both wings otherwise similar. 



Expanse. J cJ 1-6"— 1-69" ; $$ 1-66"— 1-73". 



This species occurs both in Manipur and the Naga Hills. In Manipur 

 several males and females were taken on Kabru, 8,400 feet in July and 

 August and at Suroifui, 8,000 — 9,000 feet in August. In the JNaga Hills 

 numerous males were taken at Kirbari in June and July and several females 

 at Phesima and Takabama in July and August at about 7,000 feet. 



Zbphykxjs dxjmoides, n. sp. (PI. IV, Fig. 39, J ). 



Male. Upperside: very similar to Z. vittata, mihi, but the black border on 

 both wings broader. Underside : Forewing : grey brown ; a dark brown bar 

 at the end of the cell bordered on both sides with white ; a narrow postdis- 

 cal white band from costa to vein 2 inwardly broadly bordered with dark 

 brown ; a dark subterminal line broadening towards the tornus ; a slightly 

 paler terminal border divided from the subterminal dark line by a rather 

 indistinct and very narrow whitish line. Hindwing : basal two-thirds as far 

 as the postmedian transverse whitish band dark brown ; a subcostal bluish- 

 white streak near base of interspace 7 ; the discocellulars marked with brown 

 and inwardly indistinctly bordered with paler colour ; a rather straight 

 narrow postmedian whitish band from apex to vein 2 where it recurves and 

 forms a '•' W " and ends on the middle of the dorsum ; a subterminal dark 

 brown band, inwardly faintly bordered with whitish, the area between this 

 and the postmedian whitish band irrorated with pale scales and conspicuous- 

 ly paler than the basal two-thirds of the wing ; termen rather paler than the 

 subterminal dark band and thickly irrorated with pale scales which are dis- 

 tinctly blue towards the tornus ; a black spot near the tornus encircled with 

 dark red ; anal lobe black crowned with dark red, which colour is indistinct- 

 ly continued for a short distance along the dorsal margin, and bearing a few 

 blue scales posteriorly. Female. Upperside : very similar to the female of 

 Z. duma. Underside : differs from Z. duma in being darker. Forewing : the 

 discocellulars generally not so well marked. Hindwing : the terminal area 

 not so conspicuously irrorated with pale scales. 



Expanse: 6 6 1'7"— 1-&'' ; 5$ I'Bo"— 1-32". 



Numerous males and a good series of females were obtained at Kabru, 

 Manipur, at 8,400 feet in July and a few in June and Avigust. 



? Var. intermedia, n. This is on the whole a smaller insect than Z. 

 dumoides and has on the upperside the black terminal border much narrower ; 

 in this respect being ahnost identical with Z. vittata. The underside is 

 however almost exactly the same as Z. dumoides, mihi. The difference in 

 size and in the width of the black border apjoears to be fairly constant in the 

 large series of set males before me and placed side by side with Z. dumoides, 

 mihi, appears well marked ; but without an examination of the genitalia I do 

 not like to separate it. The females are exactly like Z. dumoides female and 

 only differ in size.
