86 J. Wood-Mason — On some Lepidopterous Insects [No. 2, 



Captain C. T. Bingham has been courteously lent to me by my friend 

 Captain G. F. L. Marshall for figuring along with its South-Indian 

 representative. 



2. Euripus consimilis, var. meridionalis. PI. IV, Fig. 2. 



? . Differs from the preceding in having the markings of the upper 

 side in all the wings straw-coloured instead of pure and dazzling white ; 

 the basal two-thirds of the long streak in the interno-median space, as also 

 the streak in the sutural area, of the anterior wings obsolete, and the sub- 

 marginal short streaks at the apex of the same wings as prominent as 

 those which succeed them ; and all the venation of the posterior wings 

 much more broadly dark-bordered, with the black patch referred to in the 

 original description of E. consimilis consequently much less defined. 



All the wings are bright carmine at their insertion on the under side 

 just as in typical E. consimilis. 



Hab. Trevandrum, Travaneore, South India.

3. Penthema lisarjda. PI. Ill, Fig. 1. 



Numerous specimens of both sexes of this well-known species are in 

 the Museum from the Sikkim Hills, the Naga Hills, and the southern 

 slopes of the Khasi Hills (Sylhet). 



The setose clothing at the base of the posterior wings between the 

 median and submedian veins is scanty and cretaceous-white like the mark- 

 ings. 



The specimen figured is a male.
