the two discoidal bars as on the upperside, .... the space between 

 them yellow, the discal fascia is broader and more prominent than 

 above, its outer edge sharply defined, the discal area beyond is yellow, 

 becoming darker till it is almost lost in the submarginal fascia ; 

 the subapical spots as on the upperside, three in number, and 

 white, the margin is somewhat broadly pale bisected by a narrow 

 straight brown line. Hind wing : .... a basal irregular dark 

 fascia outwardly defined by a narrow yellow line, beyond which is 

 a dark line from the costa to the submedian nervure (vein 1) . . . .; 

 a dark fusiform bar defines the discocellular nervules; a broad, 

 highly irregular discal fascia from the costa to the abdominal 

 margin ; a submarginal series of six black ocelli with white pupils, 

 yellow iris, outer dark ring, with an outermost pale violet ring, the 



anal ocellus twinned, all the ocelli of nearly equal size, the 



margin bears a somewhat broad ochreous line defined on both sides 

 by a dark brown thread, inwardly again with a pale violet line, 

 somewhat dilated at the anal angle. Cilia cinereous throughout."

This form, unknown to me, seems very like a pale variety of 

 L. tristigmata, Elwes, Only two specimens, both males, seem to 

 have been procured in Native Sikhim, at 10,000 feet elevation.

3 . Wings shaped as in L. baladeva. Upperside ochraceous 

 brown ; cilia ochraceous. Tore wing : basal area of interspaces 

 1 and 2 diffusely ochraceous ; cell crossed by an ochraceous, short, 

 broad band bordered on both sides with dark brown; beyond 

 apex of cell irregular zigzag macular, discal and postdiscal bands, 

 the former slightly oblique, reaching from costa to dorsum, the 

 latter shorter, transverse. Hind wing : a postdiscal curved series 

 of black spots superposed on a bright ochraceous band with sinuous 

 margins bordered with dark brown on both sides and an obscure 

 ochraceous subterminal sinuous line. Underside paler, the markings 

 on fore wing similar but bright yellow, the discal band broad and 

 continuous, posteriorly diffuse along its outer margin ; the post- 

 discal band obscure, with two or three irregular white spots ; an 

 outer somewhat diffuse brown band from tornus not reaching 

 apex and a subterminal dark line. Hind wing posteriorly broadly 

 irrorated w 7 ith brown scales, basal and subbasal dark ochraceous- 

 brown bands followed by a short, broad, oblique discal band yellow, 

 a postdiscal sinuous dark brown band, a curved series of subequal 

 ocelli superposed on a pale band darkening towards the tornus, 

 and finally a subterminal silvery and terminal ochraceous line. An- 

 tennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown ; pale ochraceous beneath.
