NAG A HILLS BVTTERFLIES. 147 



They quite agree with Watson's description and differ from true st/richthus 

 exactly in the way he states. It appears to be a good species in spite of the 

 genitalia being the same according to Elwes.

Not uncommon throughout the year in Manipur at low elevations. 



Tagiades alica MEETA.NA, Moore. 



Not uncommon throughout the year in Manipur and the Naga Hills

Sataeupa splbndens, n. sp. 



Male. U'ppeyside : very similar to S. gopala but differs as follows : — 

 Upperside : Forewing : spot in cell larger, lower edge as long as upper, 

 distinctly contracted at the middle ; spot in interspace 5 minute ; spot in 

 interspace 2 broader than long ; spots in interspace 1 smaller and round, the 

 upper one minute. Hindwing : subterminal row of spots placed further 

 inwards ; terminal black area broader, much darker, and not divided 

 along the veins by traces of bluish- white. Underside : Forewing differs in 

 the same way as does the upperside but in addition has a well defined 

 bluish-grey subterminal diffuse band from costa to dorsum, its inner edge 

 almost touching the discal spots in spaces 1, 2 and 3 and enclosing the 

 spots in spaces 4 and 5. This pale band does not develop into two well 

 defined spots in interspace 1 which is such a well marked feature in S. gopala. 

 Hindwing: costal interspace completely white, the two black spots in 

 interspace 7 as in 'S*. gopala ; terminal area darker and broader as on 

 upperside. 



The female is very similar to the male but all the white spots on forewing 

 are somewhat larger ; the spot in cell quite square and not pinched in at 

 the centre ; the spot in interspace 2 almost square if anything longer than 

 broad ; the lower spot in interspace 1 elongated and not round. The male 

 is also larger than »S'. gopala ; forewing more pointed at the apex and hind- 

 wing outwardly produced from vein 2 to 4, giving the wing & much squarer 

 appearance.
