at the extreme northern extremity of the valley and at Sebong on the 

 Burma border. 



The d. s. f. flies in March and April and again in November, and the 

 ic. s.f. from June to November. 



Mycalesis albofasciata, n. sp. (PI. II, Fig. 14 c?). 



Wet-season form : Male : upperside : dull brown. Forewing with a large 

 ocellus in interspace 2 almost reaching the middle of interspaces 1 and 3 ; a 

 smaller one in interspace 5, both black with white centres and outer fulvous 

 rings. A glandular patch of raised scales at the middle of vein 1, partially 

 covered by a pencil of long black hairs on either side of that vein. Hind- 

 wing plain brown ; ocelli on underside sometimes faintly showing through. 

 A glandular patch of scales near the base of vein 7, overlapped by a tuft of 

 whitish hairs originating near the base of the cell, Underside: pale yel- 

 lowish-grey-brown. Both wings : a double sub-basal rather indistinct brown 

 line crossing the middle of the cell of the forewing and continued across 

 the hindwing as far as vein 1, as a single irregular line ; a narrow whitish 

 postdiscal band inwardly well defined and bordered by dark brown and 

 oiitwardly diffuse ; a terminal and sub-terminal pale brown line, the latter 

 being very sinuous. Forewing with a glandular patch of dark scales on a 

 nacreous area near base of vein 1 ; ocelli as on upperside but very much 

 smaller. Hindwing : seven rather small ocelli ; the one in interspace 2, the 

 largest those in interspaces 5 and 6 minute. 



Female : vory similar to the male but larger. Ocelli on upper forewing 

 larger than iu the male. Hindwing : upperside with one or two ocelli gener- 

 ally present and well-defined. Underside : similar to male. 



Dry-season form : upperside : similar to the wet-season form. Underside : 

 basal two-thirds, rather darker than outer third ; all the ocelli much smaller 

 and indistinct. 



Expanse : d 6 1-92"— 2'12"; $ $ 2-15"— 2-25". 



This species which belongs to the Gareris group is closely allied to M. 

 sanatana from which it can however be easily distinguished by the following 

 differences : — 



(1) Ocelli on upperside larger. 



(2) Underside: pale yellowish-brown and not dark -brown as in sanatana. 



(3) Underside : postdiscal band not tinged with violet. 



(4) Upperside, h. ID.: tYiehskSsX tuft of hairs whitish; in sanatana it is 



yellowish-brown. 

 The genitalia also differ considerably — 



(1) The clasps are longer and somewhat thinner. 



(2) The hooks are much longer. 



(3) The tegumen is not so stout and ends in a much longer and nar- 



rower hook. 



There are two specimens of this form from the Naga Hills, in the British 

 Museum over the label of M. sanatana. 



M. sanatana and M. albofasciata do not fly together ; the former is found 

 from the foot of the hills up to 5,000 feet and the latter from 6,000 feet to 

 8,000 feet. 



It is common in the Naga Hills. Four d. s.f. males were obtained at 

 Phesima in April and many west-season forms of both sexes at Phesima, 

 Kohima, Takabama and in the Zulla Valley from July to October. It also 

 occurs at Mao, Manipur, on the Naga Hills border. 



Mycalesis evansii, n. sp. (PI. I, Fig. 8, d" ; Fig. 9, $). 

 Wet-season form. Male : Upperside. dull brown. Forewing with a large 

 black ocellus, with white centre and an outer fulvous ring, in interspace 2
