38 G. F. L. Marshall — Hare species of BJiopalocerous Lepidoptera. [No. 2, 



Taken by Captain C. T. Bingham in the Donat range in Upper Tenas- 

 serim in January. The type specimen, which is unique and much muti- 

 lated, has been deposited in the Indian Museum. The female is unknown. 

 It is closely allied to Mycalesis {Loesd) oroatis Hewifcson, from Java, and 

 of which it is the continental form. 



2. ZOPHOESSA DURA, n. Sp. 



Plate IV, fig. 2 $, 



S . Wings above dark velvet brown, with a faint purple gloss and 

 in some lights a golden sheen, the outer margin of both wings abruptly 

 paler, the pale margin widening on the hindwing where it occupies nearly 

 half the wing. Forewing with an indistinct similar submarginal line on 

 the pale ground ; hindwing with four round blackish spots on the pale 

 ground, and beyond them a dusky marginal line followed by the usual 

 outer yellowish lines divided by a fine dusky line. Underside as in 

 Z. sura, Moore, to which it is closely allied, but the silvery grey and 

 chesnut markings are less prominent, and the grey zigzag lines at base of 

 the hindwing are much more convex in outline. 



The spots on the upperside of the hindwing are much smaller than 

 in Z. sura, the two on the median interspaces are prominent, the other two 

 are obsolescent. 



Length of forewing 1*35 inches, whence expanse := 28 inches. 



Taken by Captain C. T. Bingham in the lower Thoungyeen forests in 

 Upper Tenasserim in May. The type specimen, which is unique, has been 

 presented to the Indian Museum, Calcutta. 



3. HiPPAECHIA SHANDTJEA, n. Sp. 



PlatelV, fig. 3 ?. 



5 . Allied to H, hriseis, Linnseus, from northern and western Asia, 

 but smaller and notably differing in having a large white patch in the 

 discoidal cell of the forewing completely filling the cell except at its 

 extremity ; and in this feature approximating to the species of Melanargia 

 {galatJiea, lacJiesis, psyclie, clotlio, &c.) in colouring. 



Wings above dull black with creamy white markings. Foreioing with 

 the costal margin streaked and mottled with grey and black ; a large blotch of 

 creamy white in the discoidal cell, filling it completely from the base to near 

 the extremity where it ends abruptly, and a discal series of longitudinal 

 creamy white streaks, consisting of a short streak above the subcostal nervure, 

 a very long one below it bearing a round black spot in the centre, a very 

 short narrow streak between the discoidal nervules, a larger streak below
