202 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



Forew'mg with a double thin line, across the middle of the cell, sometimes obsolete, and 

 a pair at the end, a discal irregular fascia, from the costa to vein 2, broadening 

 hindwards, a sub-marginal series of fine indistinct lunular marks. Hlndwing somewhat 

 suffused with fuscous in parts, two black sub-basal spots with one close outside them, 

 followed by two larger spots and another near the costa, all more or less suffused in a 

 dark shade across the wing, a short band of several annular spots joined together from 

 the abdominal margin above its middle, parallel with the upper shaded band, a discal 

 irregular whorl of sinuous lunular marks in several disjointed pieces and a double 

 sub-marginal series of marks all very difficult to describe. 



Female. Upperside pale purple-blue. Forewing with a white spot at the end of 

 the cell, and another beyond its lower end, the costal and apical areas beyond these 

 spots black, the black band narrowing hindwards to the hinder angle. Ilindioing with 

 the costal space and abdominal fold pale blacldsh, the blackish costal baud running 

 decreasingly down the outer margin. Underside as in the male, but paler. 



Expanse of wings, $ % \^q to ly^ inches. 



Habitat. — Sikkim, Assam. 



DiSTRiBUTioisr. — The types came from Sikkim ; de Niceville records it from the 

 Khasia Hills. We have both sexes from that locality in our collection, and our 

 descriptions and figures are from them.

Eyes naked. Foreioing, vein 12 short, ending on costa considerably before the 

 end of the cell, 1 1 also short, emitted from the middle of the cell and ends on the 

 costal margin just beyond the end of the cell, 10 from one-fourth before the end of the 

 cell, 9 from the middle of 7 ; upper discocellular short, the lower slightly inwardly 

 oblique and concave, veins 6 and 5 closer together than is usual, 5 from the middle 

 of discocellulars, the base of 6 halfway between the base of 5 and upper end of cell, 

 vein 3 from one-eighth before lower end of cell, 2 from one-third before the end ; 

 costa well arched, outer margin nearly straight, hinder angle rounded, hinder margin 

 slightly sinuate. Hindwing, vein 8 highly arched, 7 emitted from before the middle 

 of the cell, 5 from above the middle of the discocellulars, upper discocellular short, 

 outwardly oblique, lower almost upright, slightly outwardly oblique, vein 3 emitted 

 just before lower end of cell ; costal margin somewhat rounded, apex obtusely acute, the 

 wing produced hindward, with two tails, a very long one at the end of vein 2, broad 

 at its base, and traversed by the vein throughout its length, the outer margin angled 

 above it at the end of vein 3, the second tail short and slender at the end of the 

 sub-median vein ; anal lobe small, placed some distance up the abdominal margin, its
