Aberrant species, of which the male only is known.

This species is described from Sarawak, and the type is in the 

 Saunders collection at Oxford. The description agrees with a male 

 from Sumatra collected by Paul Staudinger and with one taken at 

 Perak by Doherty, except that the third band of this species is not 

 black-bordered outwardly as Walker says. I find this character, 

 however, is not constant in other species. Without seeing the 

 female, I cannot tell where to place this species. 



26. Barsine effracta, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 546. 

 Bizone effracta, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 339. 



A distinct species, which probably belongs to this genus, as the 

 costal fold and lobe are well marked. It differs from all others in 

 having fire pink bands on the fore wing, and pink spots between each 

 of them, except the two inner ones. It has also a dark spot on the 

 hind wing. 



It occurs very rarely in Sikkim, and is recorded from Nepal.

27. Bizone coccinea. Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 28, t. iii. 14, ^ . 

 A very distinct species, of which the male only is known. 



It appears to be very rare in Sikkim. 



a". Fore wings white, with 3 red bands and an apical yellow patch. 



28. Bizone bellissima, Moore, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 27, t. iii. 13, d . 

 Of this species also the female is unknown. The type was from 



Masuri, and I have a male from Sikkim, where it is very rare, and 

 there are two more in the Atkinson collection. 



a". Fore wings white with 3 pink bands. 



29. Bizone pitana, Moore, Cat. E. I. C. ii. p. 305, $ (1858-9). 

 This resembles B. subornata, except that it has no apical band. 



The type is in the British Museum Irom Java. There is also a single 

 male from Sindaglaia, Java, in Dr. Staudinger's collection, which, 

 though in bad condition, appears to have no costal fold or lobe 

 beneath. 



a"". Fore wings red, with white markings and 3 black spots.

This is a very distinct species, which might be put in another
