liiscous of tlio base and interior margin, which is waiiLing, but is ropUiccd by 

 an additional narrow, hmular, basal mark within tho cell, Ilind-iving fulvous ; 

 base deep ferruginous, including a basal scries of throe small silvery spots ; 

 a broad, curved, transverse, discal fascia (with acutely aiigulated black mar- 

 gins), silvery -white, except where interrupted by two yellowish- white 

 patches; an exterior transverse curved series of six small ocelli; tho sixth 

 (near anal angle) geminated ; ocelli black, with minute white pupils ; marginal 

 series of large silvery spots, each bordered interiorly with a narrow black 

 lunule.

LiMEXiTES LiGYES. This species is represented by ouly one much 

 mutilated specimen in Dr. Jerdon's series, which resembles the 

 dark " Kunawur" rather than the light " Simla" variety ; but it 

 differs from all that I have yet seen, in having an exterior trans- 

 verse series, nearly obsolete in fore-wings, but very distinct in 

 hind-wings, of ochreous-red spots, one being placed at the apex of 

 each of the black borders of the submarginal lunulcs. The under 

 surface is also suffused with ochreous-red. 



This species is subject to a considerable amount of gradual varia- 

 tion. At the commencement of its range near Simla, all the individuals 

 accord well with the description of L. Trivena, Moore (Ent. Mo. Mag. 

 Nov., 18G4,) having ht^oad white fasciae occupying nearly one-third of 

 the wing ; while at the extreme northern limit of the range, Tibetwards 

 (as also apparently to the west in Cashmere), the fascia is narrow and 

 only macular, and the insects have a dark sombre look. The food-plant 

 of the larvas is Lonicera tatarica, which has a wide range in the N. W. 

 Himalaya. 



AuLOCEEA SwAHA. This is one of the commonest insects of the N. W. 

 Himalaya, and does not appear to vary ; the Cashmere specimens 

 exactly resembling those from Simla, Kunawur, Gurhwal, &c. 



AuLOCERA Weraj^ga. This appears to be a rare species. One spe- 

 cimen in Dr. Jerdon's Goolmurg series, and three individuals 

 taken by me in Upper Kunawar, are the only specimens known 

 to me. 



EpiNEPHiLE Neoza, sp. nov. This small species oi Epinepliile appears 

 to be common at Goolmurg, although in Kunawur it seems to 

 be rare, and confined to only a few localities. On the upper 

 surface it has considerable resemblance to E. Davendra ? , which
