the first three moults. This insect has been placed in this group, as we think it 

 very similar to B. bada." 



There is a male in our collection from the Khasia Hills which much resembles 

 de Niceville's figure ; but as vre have not seen any specimens identified by de Niceville, 

 we give copies of his figure. Plotz's type is marked " India," his figure is very 

 good, and resembles de Niceville's figure of />/(!z7t»ta>?, except that on the upperside of 

 the forewing there are indications of three sub-apical dots and a very faint dot at the 

 upper end of the cell ; it is undoubtedly a female ; we give copies of de Niceville's and 

 Plotz's figures.
