2 darker blotches at its outside on the costa and inner margin, 

 and 2 dark dots on the median vein ; exterior Une starting from 

 costa at ^, blackish, denticulate, forming a series of curves 

 concave to the hind margin, and curving in so as to reach the 

 inner margin about the middle ; central area between this line 

 and the first olive fascia silvery ochreous, with an olive thi-ead-like 

 line down the centre, starting from a black costal spot ; cell-spot 

 brownish, standing in the middle of a circular olive patch ; ex- 

 terior hue followed by a broad oUve fascia hke the first, containing 

 a series of oblong darker spots on the veins ; subterminal line 

 whitish, denticulated, and apparently double ; in the space between 

 the two, opposite the cell, 2 oval dai-k-brown spots one u])on the

 and abdomen pale ochreous olive. Underside pale straw-colour, 

 mottled with dark gi'ey, with the cell-dots large and dark ; a dark

 between this and the cell-spot. 



Expanse of wings 36 millim.

This and suhalhida are wonderfully alike, but they may be dis- 

 tinguished by the distance of the exterior line from the hind 

 margin. In marginata this is nearly in the centre of the wing; 

 in suhalhida decidedly beyond the centre. 



[One male was taken by myself at light at Eikisum at 7000 feet 

 on August 18. This is a halting-place on the upper road to 

 Bhotan. 



I have seen a female which agrees with it in Kayvett's col- 

 lection.— 5^. J. £".]
