the third median nervule, a larger one still below the second median 

 nervule divided transversely by a large blackish spot, a shorter streak 

 filling the whole width between the first median nervule and submedian 

 nervure and bearing a blackish spot near its outer upper end, and a 

 short streak below the submedian. Cilia long, white, broadly inter- 

 rupted with black at the ends of the nervures. Hindwing with a broad discal 

 transverse band of creamy white longitudinal streaks completely coalesced, 

 widest at the middle where it extends half way into the discoidal cell and 

 narrowest at the margins especially the costal margin ; cilia long, white, 

 scarcely perceptibly interrupted with black. Underside. Forewing, cos- 

 tal margin and apex whitish finely mottled with brown ; cell white mottled 

 with brown at upper edge, and with a blackish bar near extremity ; the 

 discal series of streaks as above but all larger, completely coalescing, and 

 sharply defined witli dark brown internally and externally except at the 

 apex where they merge into the mottled ground, the two black spots of the 

 upperside reappearing as black oct41i with white pupils. Hindwing white 

 mottled with brown, the mottlings deepening into three irregular dark 

 brown mottled transverse bands darkest at their outer edges, one sub- 

 marginal, one near tlie base of the cell, and one between these two. 



Length of forewing 1*15 inches, whence expanse = 2"4 inches. 



Taken by Major John Biddulph on the Shandur plateau in Northern 

 Kashmir. The type, which is unique, has been deposited in the Indian 

 Museum, Calcutta. 



4. Zeuxidia masoni, Moore. 



This species was described from a specimen of the female taken in the 

 Limborg expedition at Meetan in Upper Tenasserim in April, at an eleva- 

 tion of 3,000 feet, in the following terms. " Allied to Z. ametliystus, Butler, 

 from Sumatra. 'Female, differs in the paler colour of the wings, and in 

 the greater breadth of the yellow oblique band ; the band entire and termi- 

 nating at the middle median branch, below which are two similar-coloured 

 spots ; a small pale patch before apex of the wing ; hindwing pale cinnamon - 

 brown broadly along outer border. Expanse 4 5 inches." 



A male specimen of a Zeuxidia has recently been taken by Captain 

 C. T. Bingham in the lower Thoungyeen forests which evidently belongs 

 to this species, the male of which has not as yet been described. It differs 

 from Z. ametJiystus $ on th.Q forewing in having the lilac band extending 

 to the hinder angle ; and in the hindwing in having the lilac patch 

 extending from just above the third median nervule to the submedian 

 nervure: instead of extending from just below the body to the fold 

 between the second and third median nervules.
