The description of tlie male and female of the dry-season form here given is 

 taken from Mr. Doherty's typical specimens kindly forwarded for our examination 

 by Mr. L. de Niceville. 



In the original description Mr. Doherty adds (1. c. p. IIG) the " prehensores 

 close to those of Sidotm. The uncus, however, is more bent down, appearing trun- 

 cate from above, and flattened laterally, while in SiJvuis it appears acute from above 

 and is cylindrical. In both species the uncial branches viewed from the side are dis- 

 tant from the uncus, and much shorter, and come to meet it at an angle, while m 

 Maitnja the uncus and its branches are nearly equal, nearly parallel, and approximate. 

 The clasp also is simply hooked instead of being set with numerous barbs as in 

 Sidonis and vaicarta." 



Our illustrations of this species on Plate Xo. 87, figs. 2, 2a, b, c, represent 

 the male and female of the dry -season brood, taken from typical specimens kindly 

 lent for this purpose by Mr. L. de Xiceville. 



DiSTKiBDTiON. — Specimens of the wet-season fo^-m, taken by Colonel A. M. Lang 

 at Masuri, 7000 feet, in June, 1868, are in our collection. The Kev. J. H. Hocking 

 (P. Z. S. 1882, 235) obtained it in Kangra. Mr. A. Graham Young (Butt. Ind. 

 160) " took specimens on the Tihir Pass in Kulu, in July." Capt. H. B. HeUard 

 (MS. Notes) records it from " Ketruan, in Valley of Rupin River, in September." 

 Mr. W. Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 115) probably refers to the wet-season form 

 of this species under his L. Sidonis, as being taken by him at Naini Tdl, 6000 to 

 7000 feet ; small specimens, and a large dark variety at Khati, X.-W. Kumaon, 7000 

 to 8000 feet." Of the dry-season form (vaivarta) Mr. W. Doherty (1. c. p. 115) 

 obtained both sexes at " Dhankuri, Khati, Dwali, in X.-W. Kumaon ; and near 

 Khela in East Kumaon, 7000 to 11,000 feet, in the cold season."

 Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olivescent ochreous-brown, glossy, and when 

 fresh with a brilliant golden-bronzy sheen ; the outer borders with a regular dusky 

 baud devoid of this gloss ; cilia alternated with cinereous-ochreous. Foreiving with a 

 very indistinct short subapical pale ochreous streak at the bifurcation of fourth and 

 fifth subcostal veinlets. Eindicing with a submarginal series of five round black 

 spots, each with slightly pale outer ring, the upper second being the largest. Under- 

 side paler. Fore icing with an obscure dusky bar across middle of the cell, a trans- 

 verse oblique discal pale olivescent-lilacine fascia, which is most prominent at its 

 costal end and becomes obsolete posteriorly ; a subapical similar pale descending 

 fascia which is more lilacine-white at its costal end ; marginal hue pale bordered, but 

 obsolescent hindward. Eindv:ing with three subbasal and a discal glossy lUacine
