264 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



lustre, as if greasy. Uuderside more rufous than Z. icana, the transverse discal line 

 (of the forewing) extends to the first medial nervule, slightly bent inwards at its lower 

 end ; the discal btind of the hindwing is straight, the sub-marginal band rounded, 

 both are tinged with reddish ; a blurred, obsolescent ocellus of black and reddish anally 

 and sub-anally ; outer margin of the forewing strongly convex, sinuous ; outer margin 

 of the hindwing not scalloped, abdominal margin not excavated, but straight or 

 slightly convex. The prehensores, though generally resembling those of Z. icana, are 

 quite distinct. Both are distinguished from Z. sila, Kollar, Z. birupa, Moore, by the 

 uncus seen from the side being divided horizontally ; in Z. icana the upper lobe is 

 slender, bent downwards, and projects beyond the lower, in Z. mandara the upper 

 lobe is straight, and shorter than the long and massive lower lobe, the clasp (which in 

 both species tapers obliquely forwards) here ends in a blunt, almost vertical point, 

 while in Z. icana it ends in a sharp, horizontal beak ; the uncus in Z. hirupa and 

 Z. sila is very different, broad and entire, when viewed from the side. (Doherty.) 



Expanse of wings not given. 



Habitat. — Kumaon. 



We have not seen this species, and have not been able to ascertain where the 

 t}'pe now is ; probably in the United States in some private collection ; it was not 

 figured.

Imago. — Male. Upperside rich metallic green ; the veins finely black. Foreicing 

 with the costal line black, an even fairly broad outer marginal black band ; very 

 slightly broader at the apex. Hindwing with the outer marginal black band about 

 as broad as it is on the forewing, the costal black band a little broader and also even ; 

 the outer margin scalloped as usual, the production at the end of vein 2 a little longer 

 than at the ends of the other veins, but there is no tail ; abdominal fold pale blackish. 

 Cilia white with black base. Underside greyish-white, somewhat silvery, markings 

 dark grey. Forewing with a thin straight bar closing the cell, a discal outwardly 

 curved thin band from the costa to vein 2, outwardly edged with white. A sub- 

 marginal rather thicker macular band from the costa to the sub-median vein, a little 

 darkish suffusion between the upper part of the bands, and a little pale blue sufiusion 

 outside the sub-marginal band at the apex. Hindwing with a very thin pale straight 

 line closing the cell, a discal outwardly curved band of small, short lunules edged 

 outwardly with white, separated from each other, the second from the costa a little
