1884.] Species of Asiatic Diurnal Lepidoptera. 27 



This species belongs to the lohita-gYou-p of Aphnojus. On the 

 underside the markings are extremely like those in A. trifurcatus, but 

 the upperside of the fore wings has no red patch, as in A. trifurcatus. Tlie 

 colour of the upperside is also of a much darker tint ; and the outline of 

 the forewing is comparatively more triangular. 



Aphnjius orissanus, n. sp. 



Male. Forewing broader and less regularly triangular than in A. 

 khurdanus ; hindwing also less produced anally, and the exterior mar- 

 gin convex. Upperside dark brown ; base of forewing, and hindwing, 

 slaty-blue ; anal lobe red, spots black. Underside pale ochreous-yellow ; 

 bands purple-red, similar to those in^. peguanus^ with the marginal black 

 black- streaked. 



Expanse lyV inch. 



Hab. Sonakhala and Bhatpara, Orissa. In coll. Ind. Mus., Calcutta. 



Aphn^us concanus, n. sp. 



Male and female. Nearest to the Ceylonese A. lazularius. Upper- 

 side similar. Underside pale reddish-ochreous ; the bands dark purple- 

 red, those on the forewing similar : hindwing with the subbasal band com- 

 posed of three portions, the medial discal and submarginal bands disposed 

 nearer together at their costal end, the submarginal straighter, and the 

 three more or less confluent at their anal end. 



Expanse If to If iiich.

Aphnj:us nipalicus, n. sp. 

 Male. Upperside dusky violet-brown, the lower basal and discal 

 areas dark slaty-blue ; anal lobe red, the black spots speckled with 

 silvery-white scales. Underside dull sulphur-yellow, the bands of a 

 slightly darker somewhat purpurascent yellow ; forewing with an oblique 

 oval black ring near base of the cell, a black- lined bar across middle of 

 the cell from the costal edge, an oblique discal band from the costal edge, 

 broken, but not disconnected, at lower end of the cell, a short upper 

 discal bar, and two shorter subapical bars beyond, a submarginal band 

 and a slender broken lunular marginal line ; all but the last traversed by 

 an extremely slight silvery line ; beneath the cell is a dusky brown fascia, 

 and a dusky streak also is at end of the submarginal band : hindwing 

 with a small spot at base of the cell, three transverse^subbasal^oval black 

 rings, a transverse medial band, broken at lower end, then bent upward 

 to abdominal margin, and ending in a small ring-spot, and outer discal
