64 LEPIDOPTERA INBICA. 



Hojifferi, from SilEet, is evidently an abei-ration, but without comparison of the type 

 specimen we cannot say to which species it belongs. We describe an aberration of 

 the male of •/. Atlites, from Cachar, in the possession of Mr. P. Crowley. Of 

 /. Lemonias, Col. C. H. E. Adamson records a " sport " caught by himself in 

 September, in Burma ; and Mr. L. de Niceville records two specimens of a " sport " 

 of this species, both females, taken in Malda and Orissa, in Bengal.

 thence slightly waved posteriorly and more evenly across the hindwing ; a dark 

 outer-discal fascia traversed on the forewing by two, or three, very obscure or 

 obsolescent small ocellated spots sitiiated in the median interspaces, and on the
