Note. — We have received two specimens of a Pleheius from Colonel Jermyn, new 

 to the Indian Fauna ; under ordinary circumstances their record should be made in the 

 Addenda at the conclusion of this volume, but as it may be many mouths before this 

 can be done, we think it advisable to figure and describe this species here, before 

 commencing the groups of the larger Lycsenidse.

Imago. — Male. Upperside very dark violet-brown, nearly black, with a violet 

 tinge. Furewing with an indistinct black spot at the end of the cell, costal line white, 

 a terminal row of indistinct luuular spots. Hindwing with very indistinct terminal 

 black spots. Cilia of both wings white with some brown at its base. Underside dark 

 violet-grey. Forewing with some blue scales at the base, a black lunule, ringed with 

 white at the end of the cell, an almost straight row of four or five very indistinct 

 small blackish spots ringed with whitish, followed by a little more distinct parallel row 

 of larger brown somewhat lunular spots, terminal line black, with somewhat large 

 white, more or less square anteciliary spots. Hindwing with blue scales at the base 

 and abdominal marginal space, a black lunule at the end of the cell, with a white 

 streak of even breadth from it to the middle of the discal series of black spots, which 

 are rather near the outer margin and are outwardly and evenly curved like the margin, 

 are composed of black lunules, capped with white lunules, the terminal line is black, 

 with white anteciliary spots as in the forewing, but the space between the white .spot; 

 and the curved row of black lunules is filled in by largish orange spots. Antennae 

 black, ringed with white ; head and body black above, grey beneath. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ly% inch. 



Female unknown. 



Habitat.— Babusar Pass, Raghan Valley, Gilget road, 10,400 and 12,000 feet
