4 (1) . No pale spots on hind wing below. 



5 (6). Hind wing below grey-brown, with three transverse series of 



darker spots dasahara, Moore. 



() (5). Hind wing below for the most part pale bluish white albicilia, Moore.

Hah. Mandi, N.W. Himalaya {Young) ; INilgiris {Boherts). 



As defined by the characters in the foregoing table this form seems a good species. 

 We only know it certainly from the N.W. Himalaya, but I have a specimen believed to 

 be from the Nilgiri Hills, whence dasahara is recorded by Sir G. F. Hampson.

This species and alhicilia are remarkable for the possession, in the male, of a slightly 

 curved horn on each side of the base of the terminal part of the tegumen ; mpurendra 

 and sati this part is simple, not subtended by a horn on each side. 



! Saeangesa albicilia.

Hah. Ceylon ( Wade, MacJcwood). 



This insect, in its typical state, is evidently a Ceylonese local form of S. dasahara, 

 Moore ; the male genitalia in each absolutely agree, and the only point of distinction is 

 the development in alhicilia of the bluish-white shade (with the co-extensive white 

 fringe) on the hind wing below, which proceeds from the tornal region and spreads over 

 the whole surface, except about the costal third. The two specimens on which 

 Mr. Hampson includes albicilia in his Nilgiri list (Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, p. ;-]68), and 

 of which he remarks that they differed from Ceylon specimens in being dusky instead of 

 white on the underside of the hind wing, seem to have been intermediate between the two 

 forms. The tendency to the development of the pale suffusion of the hind wing below
