upper baud, a narrower submarginal band broken above anal angle and 

 bent upward, all traversed by an extremely slight silvery line ; anal lobe- 

 spots large, black, surmounted by bright scarlet. 



Female. Upperside paler dusky olive-brown : forewing with sub- 

 apical darker spot bordered on each side by red ; basal area below the 

 cell slaty-grey : hindwing with the lower basal area slaty-grey ; anal lobe- 

 as in male. Underside as in male.

Hab. Nepal (Bamsay). Sikkim. In coll. British Museum, and 

 Indian Museum, Calcutta.

Aphnj;us zebrinus, n. sp.

 perside darker violet-brown, base of wings dark slaty violet-blue. 

 Underside very pale ochreous, posterior border of forewing whitish. 

 All the bands purplish-black, as in J., zoilus ; forewing with the extreme 

 costal edge black, the bands also extending from the costal edge ; basal 

 streak long and joined to the black costal border, with a cross bar from 

 its upper end, and a band crossing the middle of the cell (both of which 

 noin the streak below the base of the cell), the oblique discal band and the 

 transverse submarginal band are joined together at their lower end, and 

 the two short upper discal bars are also joined together, the marginal 

 band is broad with a very narrow interline between it and the submar- 

 ginal band ; hindwing with the upper basal streak slender, the subbasal 

 band entire and continued to the angle of the discal band above the 

 bright red anal area, black lobe-spots large, the discal and outer bands 

 broad. 



Expanse $ 1|, $ 1| inch. 



Hab. Ceylon. In coll. British Museum. 



Nearest allied to the Andamanese species, A. zoilus. Distinguish- 

 able from it by its smaller size, by the bands on the forewing all starting 

 from the extreme costal edge, by the oblique discal band and the submar- 

 ginal band being broadly joined at their base, and by the marginal band 

 being broader on both wings. 



Aphn^us lilacintjs, n. sp. 

 Male. Upperside brown : forewing with the basal and discal area,
