forming an indistinct band as far as lower edge of cell ; outer half brown,

 broad pale brown band, commencing in interspace 1 of forewing and 

 •continued to near tornus of hindwing ; a subterminal area of the ground 

 colour, broad on the hindwing, narrower on the forewing, where it merges into

Female. Upperside : somewhat similar to the male but nearly entirely 

 brown. Forewing : termen not so deeply excavated ; a pale whitish narrow

 4 — 6 ; apical area of cell and interspaces 2 and 3, as far as the discal white 

 band, darker brov/n ; a pale subapical hyaline spot ; an indistinct black spot 

 in interspace 2 ; and a subterminal rather indistinct pale lunular band 

 outwaxdly bordered with dark brown. Hindwing : a discal whitish band,

Described from 15 c? 6 and 1 $ taken at the foot of the hills near 

 Sebong Manipur, on the Burma Road, in April. They were found by my 

 Native collectors flying in a deep shady nullah. I sent the collectors back 

 to the same place in May, but they did not see one again. The insect 

 appears to be single brooded and is either very rare or extremely local. 



It belongs to the subgenus Eulaceura, Moore, hitherto represented within 

 Indian limits by a single species, osteria, Westwood. 



EuKiPus FUNEBRis, Leech. 



A single male was taken by my Native collector at Yakama, Naga Hills, 

 sd> 5,000 ft. in July 1911, and three more at the same place, during the 

 same month, in 1912. 



Capt. Evans to whom I sent a figure for identification writes: "The 

 Memnon like Nymphalid is Euripus funebris, Leech, described from Omeishan, 

 very rare. Your figure and description agree exactly with Leech's figure, etc., 

 in "Butterflies of China." A form of it has recently been described from 

 Formosa in the Entomologist^ 



The butterfly is certainly very rare in the Naga Hills. I had collectors 

 at Yakama all through July this year, especially to look for this insect but 

 they failed to come across it.
