chocolate-brown without markings ; fringe as above : body pale ochreous brown at the sides. 

 Expanse of wings 2 inches 9 lines.

EUSEMIA, Balm. 



Eusemia silhetensis. (Plate LXXXII. fig. 1.) 

 Eusemia silhetensis, Butler, Ann. fy Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vol. xv. p. 139. n. 1 (1875). 



Closely allied to E. victrix of Nepal, but with the central pale yellow band of primaries 

 more transverse, the two patches of which it is formed being placed exactly below one 

 another ; occasionally one discal subcostal white spot instead of three in a transverse series ; 

 the blue marginal area of secondaries considerably broader ; differences below much as 

 above. Expanse of wings 3 inches 4 lines.

Eusemia orientalis. (Plate LXXXII. fig. 2.) 

 Eusemia orientalis, Butler, Ann. Sf Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vol. xv. p. 139. n. 2 (1875). 



Also allied to E. victrix, but smaller ; the central pale yellow band of primaries more 

 irregular ; the discal white spots replaced by an externally angulated quadrifid white fascia : 

 secondaries with the marginal blue area much narrower and of a more purple tint. Wings 

 below purplish brown, the margins bluish ; primaries with markings as above ; secondaries 

 with a diffused subapical orange spot. Expanse of wings 2 inches 6 lines. 



Mussooree (Leadbeater). 



Eusemia distincta. (Plate LXXXII. fig. 3.) 

 Eusemia distincta, Butler, Ann. <$f Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vol. xv. p. 140. n. 5 (1875). 



Allied to E. maculatrix, from which it differs in the interruption of the submarginal 

 series of white spots in primaries ; the two discal spots larger and snow-white instead of 

 yellow : the secondaries bright orange instead of dull red, but with similar black border and 

 spots. Expanse of wings 3 inches. 



Silhet. 



In some respects this species is more nearly allied to E. irencea than to E. maculatrix ; 

 but that species has all the spots upon the primaries white and different in form, and the 

 abdomen much more slenderly banded.
