(mucli reducing thereby the width of the band of the ground- col onr 

 between them), the outer margin broadly fuscous bearing a prominent 

 ochreous line. Female, both wings slightly paler. Forewing with the 

 apex less produced. Hindwing with the discal band narrower, the sub- 

 marginal band wider than in the male. Underside with the same 

 differences as above. 



Expanse : <?, 1*9 ; $, 2'0 inches. 



Hab. — Cachar. 



N. huhasa differs from Upper Tenasserim specimens of N. sattanga 

 in both sexes in the submarginal band on the upperside of the hindwing 

 being narrower ; the band of the ground-colour on the underside of the 

 hindwing between the discal and submarginal ochreous bands is twice as 

 wide, and in addition the outer margin of that wing is broadly fuscous, 

 bearing a prominent ochreous line. In N. sattanga the margin is equally 

 broadly ochreous inwardly bounded by a narrow black line, the extreme 

 margin being defined by a very fine black line. 



Mr. Wood-Mason took one male on the 29th July, and two females 

 on the 8th August at Irangmara in Cachar, which specimens are now in 

 the Indian Museum, Calcutta. 



3. Neptis burmana, n. sp., PI. XI, Fig. 9, $. 



Description. Male. Upperside, both wings black with prominent 

 pure white markings. Forewing with the discoidal streak narrow, deeply 

 indented at the end of the cell ; the discal series of spots large and well- 

 separated, the submarginal macular band distinct, with a pale line on 

 either side. Kindwing with the discal band somewhat broad, straight, 

 and even, followed by a pale line, the submarginal white macular band 

 prominent, with a pale line beyond. Underside, both wings dull ferru- 

 ginous. Forewing with the triangular spot less prominently separated 

 from the discoidal streak beyond, and the pale lines on either side of the 

 submarginal macular band more distinct. Hindwing with a broad white 

 basal band, two marginal white lines (there is only one pale line on the 

 upperside), other markings as above. 



Expanse : 2*4 inches. 



Hab. — Upper Tenasserim. 



Nearest to N. cartica, Moore, from which it differs on the upperside 

 in having all the markings prominent and pure white ; in N. cartica the 

 markings are all obscure and tinged with fuliginous, except the discal 

 band of the hindwing and the four spots on the forewing in continuation, 

 which are white ; the submarginal band also on the hindwing is more 

 macular in N. burmana ; and on the underside there are two marginal 

 lines on the hindwing, in N. cartica there is only one, whereby the width
