30. Paknara tijlsi, n. sp. (Plate X, fig. 1, $ .) 



Hab. Sikkim. 



Expanse : (J" , 1"8 ; 9 , 19 inches. 



Desceiption : Male. Uppeeside rich dark brown with a vinous 

 tinge. Foreiving with three very small subapical spots, the middle one 

 out of line, placed nearer the base of the wing ; an increasing series of 

 three spots outside the cell, placed one each at the bases of the 

 median interspaces, all the spots semi-transparent ochreous-white : the 

 base of the wing and the space below the submedian nervure as well as the 

 base and disc of the liindwing (which is otherwise unmarked) clothed with 

 long ochreous hairs. Undeeside. !Forewing marked as above, but the 

 costa to beyond the middle, and broadly across the disc of the liindwing pale 

 violet-white. Cilia cinereous. No secondary sexual characters. 



A single male was taken by me at about 3,000 feet elevation in Sikkim 

 in October. There is a eemale of this species also from Sikkim in Colonel 

 Lang's collection. It differs from the male only in the wings being some- 

 what broader, and the apex of the forewing less acute. 



31. Isoteinon satwa, n. sp. (Plate X, fig. 15, $ .) 



Hab. Sikkim. 



Expanse : ^, 1'3 to 1-4; $, 1-55 inclies. 



Desceiption : Male. Uppeeside rich dark brown. Forewing with 

 two small subapical spots, the lower one twice the size of the upper, a 

 rounded spot at the lower outer end of the cell, two similar spots at the 

 base of the median interspaces, the lower one twice the size of the upper ; 

 all semi-transparent diaphanous ochreous-white. A small ochreous spot 

 above the submedian nervure touching its middle. Sindwing with the 

 middle of the disc clotlied with long greenish-oclireous hairs. Cilia, 

 cinereous. Undeeside also dark brown, but the apex of the forewing 

 and the outer margin of the hindwing broadly washed with purple. 

 Forewing with the spots as above, but lacking the one placed against the 

 submedian nervure ; the costa to beyond the middle of the wing bears a 

 narrow bright yellow streak widest at its end. Kindwing with the 

 basal two-thirds also bright yellow, the outer margin of this yellow 

 area very irregular. A small round brown spot near the middle of the 

 cell, another above it and one beyond. No secondary sexual characters. 

 Body brown above, yellow below ; antenncB brown above, obscurely annu- 

 lated with yellow below, club brown. Female differs only from the male 

 in being larger, the wings broader, and the apex of the forewing less acute. 

 There is a second minute spot above the large one in the cell of the 

 forewing.
