fourtli being tlie longest, tlie fifth subconical ; a medial submarginal sei'ies of two 

 and a marginal series of four small wbite spots. Hindioing with the outer border 

 and along the veins broadly ferruginous-black, the inter-spaces between the veins to 

 beyond the disc ferruginous. Head, thorax, and legs black, spotted and streaked 

 with white ; abdomen ferruginous. Underside paler ferruginous-black, marked as 

 above. 



Expanse, Scinches. 



Habitat. — Katmandu, Nepal. 



Nearest to 8. Genutia, from which it may be distinguished by the absence of 

 all white markings, except the narrow oblique subapical series on the forewing. 

 The only known specimen of this peculiarly marked species was obtained by Major- 

 General G. Ramsay during his residency at the Court of Nepal.

Imago. — Male and female. Upperside : Foreioing with the black apical area and 

 fiilvous-red basal interspaces between the veins and series of white spots, as in S. 

 Genutia, except that the fulvous streak from below the base of the submedian is absent, 

 the subapical white spots are less prominent, shorter, and are separated by broad 

 black veins, the upper discal spot is very much smaller, and situated below the inner 

 end of the preceding spot; some specimens have two lower discal white spots, 

 the lowest being situated at the end of the fulvous streak above the submedian vein. 

 Hindidng brownish-black, or black, the cell area and sharply-defined outer inter- 

 spaces between the veins are pure white, the latter being restricted to narrow short 

 streaks, which in some specimens are sullied with fulvous at their edges ; the sub- 

 marginal and marginal series of white spots always complete. Male with a small 

 suhoval scent-2)oiich, situated near the lower median between it and the submedian 

 vein. Underside similar to the upperside, with all the white markings more promi- 

 nent. On the hindwing the white interspaces between the outer veins are broad and 

 suffused at their end with fulvous, the costal base also being fulvous. 



Expanse, 2f to 3i inches. 



Habitat. — Lower and Eastern Bengal ; Lower Burma ; Malay Peninsula.
