264< W. Dolierty — Additional Notes on Indian Butterjlies. [No. 3, 



space ; also five subapical ones, small, well-separated, the third and 

 fourth furthest from the base, the third largest, the fourth and fifth 

 minute. Hindwing with a transverse black spot at the end of the 

 eel], and a semicircle of eight smaller ones on the disc round it, of which 

 only one or two are pupiiled with hyaline : the first, which is placed 

 basally between the costal and subcostal veins, is obscure. Below duller 

 ferruginous, the markings similar, the black rings of the spots of the 

 forewing less distinct. Body densely clad with rust-red fur, eyes scarlet. 

 Expanse sixty millimetres. $ unknown, probably very similar, 



I caught two males, of which I unluckily have but one before me, 

 on Sirtai Mountain (2,000 feet), in the Lushai country, north-east of 

 Ohittagong and south of Cachar. 



The type of Erionota is thrao), but Mabille includes irava in the 

 genus. On account of its possible affinity with that species (which I 

 have never seen), I put this rave butterfly under the head of Erionota. 

 It seems, however, to bear more resemblance to Folder's species of 

 ChcBtocneme and Netrocoryne from the Australian and Austro-Malayan 

 region. The following details of the structure of lalita will perhaps be 

 usefal to that bold man who may some day be found to undertake to 

 systematize the Hesperiadoe. 



Costal margin of foreiving slightly convex, apex acute, outer and 

 hind margins straight or a trifle convex. Costal margin of hindwing 

 replicate, very convex basally, apex distinct, outer margin rounded, 

 abdominal margin convex with a deep abdominal fold. Cell two-thirds 

 of the length of the forewing, costal vein ends just before the end of the 

 cell, first subcostal originates at nearly one-third before the end of the 

 cell, then at decreasing intervals come the second, third, fourth (which 

 extends to the apex) and fifth, upper radial from end of cell, disco-cellulars 

 oblique, hardly angled, the lower longest. Hindwing, costal vein ex- 

 tends to apex, cell broad, quadrate, half as long as the wing, longest 

 from base to its lower angle, disco-cellulars somewhat sinuate, upper 

 two-thirds as long as the lower, or as the distance between the bifurca- 

 tion of the subcostals and the end of the cell. Lower disco-cellular 

 meets the median just beyond its last bifurcation. 



Antennce of about fifty-five joints, the club consisting of twenty- 

 nine joints, is bent at a right angle, and tapers to a slender point. 

 Falpi densely hairy, penultimate joint very thick and rounded, concave 

 on both sides, last joint projecting forward, minute, blunt, one-fifth 

 as long as the preceding one, in which it is more or less concealed. 

 The feet each bear two long hairs, two claws, and two pubescent cushions 

 or pulvilli. The front tibiae are slightly swollen, with a very short spur 

 in the middle, the middle tibise have two very long and unequal spurs
