294 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAEDS: 



but not covering the apical area of the fore wing or the terminal area of the hind 

 wing. 



Herr Snellen sent a female specimen from Java, not distinguishable from this 

 species, with the name consobrina, Plotz. 



Hab. Sikkim (Moller); Khasia (Hamilton) ; Nagas, Arjuno, Java (Doherty); Burmah 

 (Watson); West Java (Piepers). 



! ISMENE ANADI. 



Choaspes anadi, de Niceville, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1883, p. 83, pi. x. fig. 6, <3 ; Watson, Hesp 

 Ind. p. 7 (1891). 



The female of this species is said to differ from the male only in being larger and 

 darker, the upperside of the hind wing concolorous with the rest of the wing, not 

 broadly pale ochreous as in the male ; this is remarkable when we consider the close 

 relationship of this species to I. harisa, which has a dissimilar female. 



Hab. Sikkim (Moller) ; Khasia (Hamilton). 



! ISMENE VASUTANA. 



Ismene vasutana, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 782. 

 Choaspes vasutana, Watson, Hesp. Ind. p. 8 (1891). 



This species is remarkable amongst its congeners for the greater or less development 

 of hyaline spots in the fore wing ; the full complement of these is one in each of cells 2 

 and 3, but in the more usual state of the male that in cell 3 only is visible on the 

 upperside, that in cell 2 being traceable on the underside only or wanting altogether ; 

 sometimes these spots are quite absent from the upperside and their presence is only 

 indicated by a pale dot near the base of cell 3 on the underside. 



It appears from Mr. de Niceville's remarks (Jour. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. 1895, 

 p. 404) that a somewhat similar development of these pale spots occurs in /. mahintha, 

 Moore. 



The female is brown above, with a pale greyish-green shade from the base of the 

 wings, passing into purple near the middle of the fore wing and about the apical third 

 of the hind wing ; the hyaline spots on the fore wing are well developed. 



Hab. Sikkim (Moller) ; Nagas (Doherty).
