bindwing, whicli are larger and more prominent. The subapical streak 

 on the upperside of the forewing touching the costa, and a small narrow 

 spot just within it. 



Expanse <r 2'1, ? 2-3. 



Hab. Buxa, Bhutan (Moti Ram), Sikkim (Otto Moller). 



Near to S. niphanda, Moore, which also occurs in Sikkim, but may- 

 be at once distinguished from that species by the ochreous bands on the 

 up]3erside being much wider, and on the underside much paler also. 

 The five cone-shaped imperfect ocelli are less than half the size of those 

 of S. niphanda, and the centres of three of them and the anal lunules 

 are pare cerulean blue instead of green. 



Nacaduba hampsonii, n. sp., PL II, Fig. 13, d*. 



S . Upperside deep violet-purple, the outer margins of both wings 

 narrowly black. Underside pale brown, tinged with ochreous on the 

 inner margin extending into the disc of the forewing, which wing bears 

 the following blackish markings outwardly defined with white : — a 

 quadrate spot across the middle of the cell with a small spot above it on 

 the costa, a similar but larger one closing the cell, a discal curved chain 

 of six spots (which is shifted inwards at the penultimate spot from the 

 inner margin), and a submarginal series of lunules. Hindwing marked 

 with some indistinct spots at the base, then four subbasal ones extending 

 across the wing, one closing the cell, and a much curved and irregular 

 discal series. Submarginal lunules as in forewing but bearing three 

 black spots towards the anal angle, the outermost one large and pro- 

 minent, the others small. No tail. The usual anteciliary black line ; 

 cilia pale brown, on the hindwing marked with dark brown at the ends 

 of the nervules. 



Expanse 1*15 inches. 



Hab. Ootacamund, Nilgiri Hills, South India. In coll. G. F. 

 Hampson and L. de Niceville. 



Nearest to the tailless N. dana, de N., which also occurs at Ootaca- 

 mund, but difEering on the upperside in being of a different colour (deep 

 violet-purple instead of light bluish-purple), and on the underside in 

 having the markings throughout darker and more conspicuous, and the 

 ground-colour also darker. The forewing is also narrower and more 

 produced at the apex.
