pai-allel tbrougliout ; and lu the Lindwing of G. mandarmns beyond 

 the inner zig-zag black line from the second median nervule to the 

 abdominal margin there is a considei'able white band, this being obsolete 

 in C. cepheis, the purplish-brown area being continued uninterruptedly 

 and of equal width throughout from the apex of the wing to the anal 

 angle. 



Described from two male specimens exactly alike captured by 

 Lieut. C. H. Ward, on Nemotha, a peak in Cachar, 3,634 feet high, on 

 October 15th, 1892, one of which he has generously presented to me. 

 Lieut. Ward captured C. mandarinus at the same time and place. 



.36. Neocheritra NAMOA, n. sp., Plate V, Fig. 9, c?, 



Habitat : Battak Mountains, N-E. Sumatra, 



Expanse : (7,1-6 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, forewing and cilia black ; a broad 

 oblique pale non-iridescent blue band crosses the base of the wing, this 

 area commences narrowly on the costa, crosses the discoidal coll at 

 about its middle, meeting the median nervure at the point where the 

 first median nervule arises, and reaches the inner margin at about 

 two-thirds of its length from the base. Hindwing with the costa at 

 the base of the wing broadly pearly shining white, bearing in its 

 middle a large round fuscous "scale mark," this mark being placed at 

 the base of the first subcostal nervule by which it is equally bisected, 

 not extending into the cell, the mark shewing clearly on the under- 

 side of the wing as a raised area: the apex of the wing reaching 

 to the second median nervule broadly black, the rest of the wing 

 pale non-iridescent blue shading off into pure white broadly towards 

 the anal angle ; a large round black spot placed close to the margin 

 in the first median interspace ; a similar one in the submedian inter- 

 space, but placed further from the margin ; the anal lobe with a large 

 round black spot in its middle almost hidden by overlying long white 

 hair-like scales ; an anteciliary fine black thread which extends some 

 little distance along the middle of the two tails, the thread commences 

 at about the first median nervule and ends at the base of the inner Ions- 

 tail ; cilia anteriorly black, posteriorly pure white ; outer tail at ter- 

 mination of first median nervule tipped with white, anterior to this it 

 is black, then again white to its base, in length it is 5 mms. ; inner tail 

 at termination of submedian nervure white, in length 17 mms., or about 

 •65 of an inch. Underside, &of7t zmwq^s pale bluish-white. Foreioing v^'iih. 

 the costa and apex broadly dull brownish-ochreous, shading off into the 

 white discal area; the inner margin broadly highly polished at the base ; 

 across this polished area lies a thick tuft of long dull brownish-ochreous
