82 L. de Niceville — Butierjlies from the Indo-Malcnjan recjion. [No. 1, 



shifted outwardly. Hindwmg with three large rounded spots across the 

 base of the wing ; a fine line at the end of the cell, a very irregular diseal 

 series of eight spots, of which the one on the costa and the one on the 

 abdominal margin are the most prominent. Cilia above dusky white, on 

 the underside the cilia under a magnifying glass appear to be white at 

 the base tipped with dusky. 



C. crissa on the upperside agrees best with C. placida, de Niceville, 

 from Sikkim, Assam, Burma, the Malay Peninsula, and Java, but the outer 

 black margin on the forewing is rather broader, and the submar- 

 ginal black spots on the hindwing are better sepai'ated from the black 

 margin. On the underside the two species are abundantly distinct, 

 the markings in C, crissa being almost thi'oughout deep black, while in 

 C. placida they are dull fuscous, they are also far more prominent and 

 larger in G. crissa. In the rains form of G. piispa, Horsfield, the 

 markings on the undei-side are quite as prominent as in G. crissa, but 

 they differ somewhat in character ; in the hindwing especially the sub- 

 raarginal line is much nearer to the marginal spots in G. puspa than 

 in G, crissa. G. cyanescens, de Niceville, from the Nicobar Isles, is 

 another allied species, but the markings on the underside are different, 

 being smaller, less prominent, and more or less fuscous. 



Described from a single example obtained at Kalar in the Nilgiri 

 Hills by Lieut. E. Stokes Roberts, R. E., on the 17th August, 1892, 

 another male taken in March, in the Ashamboo Hills of Travancore, 

 and received from Mr. Harold S. Ferguson.

Habitat : Kiukiang, Chang-yang, Central China (Leech) ; Khasia 

 Hills. 



The Rev. Walter A. Hamilton has sent me eight specimens of 

 this species obtained by his native collectors in the Khasia Hills. It 

 occurs also at Kiukiang and Chang-yang in Central China. The In- 

 dian specimens are a good deal smaller than the Chinese examples 

 (23 as against 29 mms.), but do not differ in coloration and markings. 

 The species is a true Everes, as I have ascertained by bleaching the wings 

 of a specimen, but is a little abnormal, as the hindwing has no trace of 

 a tail. This, however, in the Lyccenidcv, cannot be accepted as a feature 

 of generic or even specific value, as several instances occur in which 

 the same species is both tailed and tailless. In the genus Everes not 

 only is E. moorei tailless, but the type species, E, argiades, Pallas, 

 is sometimes without tails, Mr. W. Doherty having obtained tailless
