CELA^NORREINJ!. 69 



Imago. — Male. This species is distinguished from agni in the first place by its 

 dark unilier-brown colour, and the dark nml)er-browu fringe to cells 6 and 7 on the 

 hindwings below ; the pale fringe to these cells is not absolutely constant in agni, but 

 is well marked in four out of five male specimens examined. The male genitalia also 

 diflfers considerably ; in agaioides there is a large dorsal crest on the tegumen, and the 

 upper lobe of the clasp is merely a very small pointed strap-shaped piece; in agni, the 

 back of the tegumen is simple and the upper lobe of the clasp is at least as wide as the 

 lower lobe, rounded on the upper edge and triangularly pointed. (Elwes and 

 Edwards.) 



Expanse of wings, $ 1-/^ inches. 



Habitat. — Nacja Hills. 



The type is in coll. Elwes ; we have not seen it ; we therefore give copies of 

 Elwes' figure.

Imago. — Female. Uppersidc, lioth wings dark olive-greenish ; an obscure rather 

 broad blackish marginal band. Foreiving with three sub-apical spots arranged in a 

 crescent, the upper the largest ; a discal macular band consisting of an oblono- spot on 

 the costa, a large quadrate spot at the end of the cell, a small spot at the base of the 

 second median interspace, a large spot in the middle of the first median interspace, 

 with a minute dot below it in the sub-median interspace, all lustrous semi-diaphanous 

 white ; an oval black spot towards the base of the sub-median interspace, a l>road sub- 

 marginal band of darker shade than the ground. Ilindwing with, a black spot below 

 the costa towards the base of the wing ; two parallel discal series of suffused l)lack sijots. 

 Underside, both wings rather paler than on the upperside. Foreiving marked as above 

 but with two dots in the sul>median interspace instead of one, forming jjart of tlie 

 discal macular band, and surrounded with a black ring. Hindwing with all the black 

 spots smaller, much more compact and better defined than on the upperside. Cilia 

 head and body concolorous with the wings. Antennae with the shaft brown, ochreous
