node is longitudinally and broadly, but not very deeply snlcated in the 

 middle (the sulcus is deep in 0. dohrni, Mayr, and rogenlioferi, Mayr). 

 Petiole and abdomen shining and delicately reticulate ; some longitudi- 

 nal wrinkles on the second node. 



Some erect hairs on the thorax and on the head, very few elsewhere, 

 none at all on the tibiae and scapi. A spaced, but regular, applied pubes- 

 cence on the tibiee, the scapi, the head, and the abdomen, very scattered 

 elsewhere. Sibsagar.

Desceiption. Female. Uppeeside, hoth tvings castaneous. Fore- 

 wing with rather more than the outer half fuscous, crossed from the 

 middle of the costa to near the anal angle by a decreasing white band, 

 which is tinged with ochreous anteriorly, its inner edge very straight 

 and sharply defined, its outer edge less regular and blurred ; two small 

 ochreous subapical spots divided by the fifth subcostal nervule. Hind- 

 wing with the outer half fuscous, bearing a submarginal series of four 

 black spots placed upon a castaneous band, the upper one large and 

 round, the second in the subcostal interspace somewhat quadrate and 

 extending to the inner of the two pale marginal fine lines, the third and 

 fourth in the median interspaces small and oval ; there are faint traces 

 also of a spot in the discoidal and a geminated one in the submedian 

 interspace. Undeeside, both wings pale ochreous-brown. Foreiving with 

 two ferruginous fine lines crossing the middle of the cell, the discal band 

 as above but somcAvhat lengthened posteriorly, the ground-colour within 

 it somewhat darker than the rest of the wing, a submarginal series of 

 four small perfect ocelli placed between the veins, made up of a white 

 pupil, a black ring, a ring of the ground-colour, a ferruginous ring', and 

 an outer pale ring ; two fine dark marginal lines. Hindivlng with two " 

 discal fine irregular ferruginous lines from the costa to the submedian 

 nervure, the lower disco- cellular nervule defined with ferruginous ; a 

 submarginal series of six perfect ocelli, made up of a black white-pupilled 

 centre, then an ochreous, then a dark brown, and lastly an outer vio-
