UNDEESIDE of the forewiucf in N. ardatea not extending below it in N. 

 hliutea, and the lower spot of the discal series well retired from the line of 

 the five spots above it, whereas in JSF. ardates there are two lower spots 

 out of line, one being additional. 



I took a single specimen on the Darjiling cartroad between 2,000 and 

 5,000 feet elevation, in October, 1880, and numerous specimens have since 

 been taken in Sikkim at low elevations. It seems a constant and well- 

 marked species.

Hab. Ambovna (Felder) ; South Andamans. 



Expanse : 1 inch. 



Description. Upperside smoky deep purple. Sindwing with a 

 marginal series of increasing lunules, the one between the first and second 

 median nervules inclosing a prominent black spot, the final one two much 

 smaller spots. Underside bright castaneous brown. 'Forewing with a 

 catenulated band across the middle of the cell from the subcostal nervure to 

 the inner margin, a similar band closing the cell, a discal band of spots some- 

 what broken and directed inwards at the fifth spot from the costa, a submar- 

 ginal band of lunules, marginal linear spots and black anteciliary fine line. 

 Hindwing with a basal chain of spots, another closing the cell, and a discal 

 much curved and broken band ; marginal markings as on forewing, but 

 with a prominent subanal black spot between the first and second median 

 nervules, crowned with an orange lunule, and marked outwardly with a few 

 metallic green scales ; two minute similar spots at the anal angle. 



Mr. de Roepstorff has sent a single specimen which seems to be identi- 

 cal with Felder's L. ( =^ A. ) nora. It is allied to N. ardates^ Moore, but 

 differs in the discal chain of spots on the underside of the forewing which 

 are larger and less broken, also in the straighter outer margin of that wing.

Description : Male. Upperside, loth wings violet blue, with the 

 outer margins evenly narrowly black. Underside both luings fawn colour. 

 Forewing with a white-bordered dusky spot in the middle of the cell, a 

 similar one at its end, a discal chain of six similar spots, the two lower ones 

 out of line, (in some specimens the sixth lowest spot is absent) ; submarginal 

 and marginal indistinct series of pale lunules. Hindwing crossed by three
