Andamans ; and a male o£ the very rare lolaus maculatus, Hewifcson. As 

 this sex has never been described, I append a description of the specimen.* 

 In 18G5 Mr. Hewitson when describing this species stated that " Two 

 examples only have, I believe, hitherto arrived in Europe." Mr. Movvis 

 also gave me a male of ZojpTioessa atJcinsonia, Hewitson, taken on Senchal, 

 8,000 feet, in August ; and a fine male of the beautiful Argynnis gemmata^ 

 Butler, out of several other species in his possession {Aulocera padma^ Kol- 

 lar ; Argynnis latlionia, Linnaeus ; and Fopilio onachaon, var. asiatica, 

 Menetries, &c.), which he had obtained from a native who collected them 

 at high elevations in Sikkim and Thibet. 



LEPIDOPTERA RHOPALOCERA. 



Family NYMPHALIDiE. 



Subfamily JDanain^. 



204. Euplcea deione, West wood. 



A single pair. It seems a rare species wherever it occurs. 

 Subfamily Sattrin^. 



205. Letlie dyrta, Felder. 

 Males only. 



206. Lethe dinarhas, Hewitson. 



A worn male of this species was taken by me on Senchal, at 7,000 feet. 



207. Zoplioessa sura, Doubleday, Hewitson. 



I saw a single specimen on Senchal, but was unable to net it. Mr. 

 MoUer has taken it on the Birch Hill Road, Darjiling, at 7,000 feet eleva- 

 tion, in perfect condition in November. 



208. Melanitis duryodana, Felder, 



The Yptliima nareda of my former lists should be Y. newara, Moore, 

 and Zipaetis should be written Zipcetes. 



Subfamily Morphine. 



209. JEnispe eutliymius, Doubleday. 



Mr. Otto M oiler took two fine males in the Run jit valley, and the 

 Lepchas also obtained both sexes. It has the habits of a Discopliora, 



* lolaus maculattis, Hewitson. Hale. Upperside, foreiving black, with a bluish- 

 white streak at the base of the first median interspace not reaching the margin, also 

 a basal pale blue patch in the interno-median interspace still further removed from 

 the margin. Sindwing below the subcostal nervure suffused throughout with pale 

 blue. Underside as in the female. No secondary sexual characters. Expanse 1"6 

 inches. 



It differs from the single female in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, from Sibsagar, 

 Upper Assam (S. E. Feal), in being smaller, the forewing less broad, the apex more 

 pointed, the outer margin straighter, and the markings of the upperside, especially in 

 the hindwing, much more blue.
