2G F. Moore — Bescri'ptions of some new Genera and [No. 1, 



vein. On the underside the bands are similar, but of a brighter red and 

 with more clearly defined black borders. 



Expanse 1 to If inch. 



Hab. Lower Bengal, Calcutta, Maunbhoom, Orissa. In coll. F. 

 Moore and Indian Museum, Calcutta. 



Aphnjius peguanus, n. sp. 



Male. Comparatively larger than A. lohita. Upperside similarly 

 coloured, anal area dull red, the large black lobe-spot replaced by a 

 few interciliary black and silver scales. Underside very pale reddish- 

 ochreous ; the bands dark red, somewhat narrower than in A. lohita : 

 f orewing with the streak at base longitudinal, narrow, and not extending 

 above the costal vein ; the short transverse broad end crossing the 

 cell in A. lohita is here absent, the band crossing the middle of the cell is 

 also shorter, the oblique discal and submarginal bands quite confluent at 

 their posterior end, the inner costal band beyond the cell is short, and 

 the next band is the longest, both being widely separated — whereas in 

 A. lohita the inner band is the longest and the two are joined externally 

 in the middle, the submarginal band is narrower, and the marginal band 

 very slender : hindwing with the subbasal band composed of three well 

 separated portions ; anal lobe red, with a small interciliary black-speck- 

 led streak ; the submarginal and marginal band narrower, the latter 

 being interrupted in crossing the veins. 

 Expanse 1^ to 1^ inch. 



Hab. Magaree, Pegu. In coll. F. Moore. 



Aphnjius himalayanus, n. sp. 



Allied to A. lohita. Male and female much larger than typical 

 Javanese specimens. Upperside similarly coloured ; anal area duller red. 

 Underside pak creamy-yellow ; the bands similar, but of a darker purple- 

 red, all comparatively broader, the marginal band conspicuously broader.

 Aphn^us khurdanus, n. sp. 



Male. Upperside dark brown; base of fore wing, and hindwing 

 dark slaty-blue ; anal lobe red, spots black. Underside dull pale pur- 

 plish brownish-ochreous ; markings very similar to those on underside of 

 same sex of A. trifurcatus, but comparatively narrower and more regular 

 in outline. 



Expanse 1 to 1^^ inch.
