more or less intermediate specimens. The pattern of the underside 

 in this, as in most other Satyridse, is the surest guide.

I have several specimens taken by Doherty in the Karen Hills 

 and at Momeit, Upper Burmah, at 1500-2000 feet, also two from 

 Dr. Manders taken in the Shan Hills, which seem to show that this 

 species cannot be specifically separated from N. muirheadi. Of the 

 latter I have three males from Ningpo, the original locality, which 

 are easily distinguished by the small ocelli almost obsolete on 

 the upperside and tlie less distinct markings, and in some cases 

 almost obsolete white band on the hind wings below. 



But three males and two females from Kiukiang and a female from 

 near Shanghai show that these characters are not at all constant, 

 and the ocelli of the Chinese females are like those of the Burmese 

 males. The Burmese female I have resembles tlie plate but is 

 larger, whilst the males have only one or two small brown marks on 

 the upperside of the fore wing instead of the three well-marked ocelli 

 beneath. 



These four species are all the Neopes known to occur in India, as 

 I think that N. moorei, Butl., may be dropped from the list alto- 

 gether, as a very doubtful species of still more doubtful origin. 



Raphicera satricxjs.

Occurs in the Naga Hills at 6000-7000 feet. 



Satyrus loha.

Satyrus loha, Elwes, Trans. EiU. Soc. 18«8, p. 323, t. ix. 6 c? . 



Two females from Mao on the Manipur frontier of the Naga Hills, 

 taken at 8500 feet in August by Doherty, and marked by him " loha 

 apparently," also seem to me to belong to this species, but without 

 the male sex it is not possible to distinguish it certainly from 

 S. padma.

Several specimens from Margharita in Upper Assam agree with 

 typical specimens from Bhutan.
