exception of a margiual baud and a shoi't costal streak ; a series of 

 black spots inside marginal band, and an isolated black spot at costal 

 bifurcation, xlbdomen above entirely white, beneath greyish white. 

 Palpi dark above, grey below ; legs grey. 



JIa/j, Kumaou. Expanse 52 niillim. 



Closely allied to >S. saiuhara and 8. a(Jiius. From the former it 

 diifers in its larger size (52 to 46 millim.), wholly white abdomen, 

 and white base to hind wing on underside ; from the latter it differs 

 in the colour of the abdomen and in the lower spot of the central 

 pair on the disk being nearer than the upper spot to the base of the 

 wing, while in affinis the lower spot is nearer to the outer margin. 



This is probably the species recorded from Kumaon by Mr. Do- 

 lierty, after whom I have much pleasure in naming it. 



5. Genus Daiaiio. 



Daimio, Murray, Eat. Mon. Mag. vol. xi. p. 1/1 (18/5). 



Type, iethys^ Men. 



Anteuiise : club moderate, terminal crook bent at about right 

 angles. Palpi porrect ; third joint short, obtusely conical. Fore 

 wing: outer margin slightly oblique; inner margin longer than 

 outer margin ; cell less than two-thirds the length of costa; vein 12 

 reaching costa before the end of cell ; discocellulars suberect ; vein 

 W close to end of cell, more than twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 

 2 twice as far from end of cell as from base of wing. Hind wing 

 hardly elongated, outer margin sinuate ; vein 7 shortly before end 

 of cell, more than twice as far from 8 as from 6 ; discocellulars very 

 faint, almost erect ; vein 5 barely traceable ; vein 3 shortly before 

 end of cell ; vein 2 twice as far from base of wing as from end of 

 cell. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. 



Male without costal fold, but with a tuft of hairs attached to the 

 proximal end of hind tibiie.
