of both species from Sikkim, and find that the differences given above 

 are constant. He first recognized and pointed out to me the distinctness 

 of these two species. For comparison I have figured (fig. 8) the upperside 

 of a male specimen of A. neophron from Sikkim. 



Family LYC^NID^. 

 5. Allotinus multistrigatus, n. sp., PL XI, Fig. 11, ^ , 2, ? . 



Description. Male. Upperside, hath tvings dark brown. Fore- 

 wing with a pale brown elongated patch in the middle of the disc. Hind- 

 wing unmarked. Underside, hoth wings pale ochreous brown, covered 

 (except the inner margin of the forewing) with hundreds of very minute 

 spots made up of a dark brown centre and fine outer pale line. Fore- 

 wing with three similar but larger discoidal spots, and a fourth below 

 the middle one in the submedian interspace at the point where the 

 first median nervule is given off ; a similar submarginal series. Hind- 

 wing crossed by four almost equi-distant series of similar spots. Gilia pale 

 brown throughout. Female, differs in having the forewing more trun- 

 cate and the hindwing more deeply scalloped than in the male. Upper- 

 side, foreiving with the discal patch very prominent and pale ochreous , 

 the basal half of the costal m.argin narrowly pale ochreous, with four 

 short streaks beyond. Gilia pale ochreous. Otherwise as in the male. 



Expanse : ^ , 2*1 ; $ , 2-0 to 2*1 inches. 



Hab. — Kumaon, Sikkim, Chittagong. 



In collections W. Doherty from Kumaon and Chittagong ; Colonel 

 A. M. Lang, R. E., Otto Moller, and A. V. Knyvett from Sikkim. Quite 

 different from any species known to me. 



6. Satadra teesta, n. sp., PL XI, Fig. 3, &. 



Description. Male. Upperkide, hoth wings of a very deep purple, 

 of a deeper shade than in any species of the group known to me. Fore- 

 wing with a very narrow black marginal line. Hindiving with the black 

 marginal line much broader than on the forewing ; tail black, tipped with 

 white. Underside marked almost exactly as in S. singla, mihi. 



Expanse: c?, I'B inches. 



Hab. — Sikkim. 



Nearest to 8. singla, from which it differs in the forewing being 

 shorter and truncated instead of produced at the apex, the marginal 

 black line only a quarter as broad, the colouration of both wings on the 

 upperside of a deeper shade of j purple. Obtained in the Teesta Valley, 

 Sikkim, by Mr. Otto Moller, in whose collection the type specimen is 

 deposited.
