very large posterior ocellus, these ocelli have a white pupil, the black 

 portion surrounded by an ochreous, a black, and lastly a violet ring ; the 

 inner margin broadly whitish. Hindiving with a basal neai-ly straight 

 and a discal irregular violet fascia ; a series of seven ocelli towards the 

 margin similar to those on the forewing, but the outer rings of all of 

 them joined and forming a continuous violet bordering to the whole 

 series of ocelli, the first, fourth and sixth ocelli of medium size, the second, 

 third and seventh small, the fifth the largest. Female. Upperside, both 

 ivings much paler than in the male. Forewing with an indistinct subapical 

 broad dull ferruginous fascia, reaching from the costa to the first median 

 uervule ; otherwise similar to the male, except that all the secondary 

 sexual characters found in the male are wanting. 



N^earest to M. maianeas, Hewitson, the only other species in the 

 subgenus Satoa ; described by Hewitson from Malacca [?] and Sarawak, 

 of which the female has alone been figured, and from which the same 

 sex of M. maia appears to differ in having a subapical ocellus on the 

 upperside of the forewing, and the "orange band" instead of being 

 very richly coloured and prominent is reduced to an obscure cloud on 

 both surfaces. 



This species appears to occur not uncommonly in the mountains of 

 N.-E. Sumati'a, and there are numerous specimens in Dr. Martin's 

 collection as well as in my own. I possess specimens taken in July and 

 Decembei\ Both Mr. Henley Grose Smith ("HeadHunter-s of Borneo"), 

 and Dr. B. Hagen (" Die Pflauzen- und Thierwelt von Deli auf Der 

 Ostkuste Sumatra's ") record M. maianeas, Hewitson, from Sumatra, 

 but this species is probably the one meant. 



Subfamily Morphine. 



2. Stichophthalma sparta, n. sp., Plate I, Fig. 4, c?. 



Habitat: Manipur. 



Expanse: d, 5*0 inches. 



Description: Male. Upperside, both ivings deep rich reddish-ful- 

 vous or ferruginous. Foreioing with the irregular discal black line of the 

 underside shewing through by transparency ; the apical area widely 

 pale fulvous, this pale area extends from the submarginal hastate 

 black markings to just within the discal black line, it is very 

 wide on the cosfca, but dies away to nothing before reaching the first 

 median nervule ; a series of five submarginal hastate black raarkino-g 

 one in each interspace from the upper discoidal nervule to the sub- 

 median nervure, increasing progressively in size from the anterior to 

 the posterior marking ; a large black patch at the apex ; a submarginal 

 fulvous line, beyond which is a narrower anteciliary black line, both
