LETHE. — ZOPHOESSA. 41 
One example of this Sikkim species was taken by Hen* Kricheldoitf at 
Moupin in July. The ocelli on the under surface of secondaries are larger 
than in typical specimens. 
Mr. Elwes (l. c.) says: — "This species has hitherto only been found in 
Tendong in Native Sikkim by Holler's collectors, at about 7000 feet in the 
rainy season. The female remains unknown. In 188G it was taken as late 
as November. iUl that I have seen are, though very nearly allied to sidonis, 
smaller, and distinguished by the different markings and duller colour of the 
underside." 
Genus ZOPHOESSA. 
Zophoessa, E. Doubleday, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 362 (1851). 
" BoDV moderate-sized ; eyes hairy ; fore wings elongate-triangular ; hind wings tailed. 
" Head small, wider in the male than in the female, hairy, not tufted. 
" Eyes prominent, hirsute. 
" Antenna; not half the length of the fore wings, very slender ; terminated by a distinct, elon- 
gate, slender club. 
" Labial paJpi long, slender, compressed, elevated obliquely, considerably higher than the level 
of the top of the eyes ; the long second joint not clothed behind with a tuft of hairs, front 
with numerous long hairs ; terminal joint minute. 
" Thokax short, very convex, finely hairy. 
" Fore ivings large, elongate-triangular. Fore margin but slightly curved ; apical angle obtuse. 
Apical margin long, slightly concave, not scalloped ; inner angle rounded. Inner margin 
nearly straight. Costal vein rather dilated at the base, extending to the costa a little 
beyond the middle. Postcostal vein with the first and second branches arising near the 
middle of the wing ; the second close to the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell ; third 
and fourth branches arising at equal distances apart beyond the cell. Upper discocellular 
extremely short, oblique ; middle discocellular rather longer, less oblique, straight : outer 
discocelliilar very much longer, nearly straight, almost transverse, uniting with the third 
branch of the median vein at about the same distance from its base as exists between 
the first and second branches; the third branch being angulated at the place of junction, 
beyond which it is slightly curved. 
" Hind iviitgs subovate. Costal margin slightly arched. Outer margin scalloped ; the middle, 
at the extremity of the third branch, being deeply emarginate. Precostal vein very short, 
furcate at the tip. Costal vein extending to about two thirds of the length of the costa. 
Postcostal vein branching at a considerable distance from the base. Upper discocellular 
short, curved, but rather longer than the space between the branches of the postcostal 
vein ; lower discocellular vein longer than the upper, curved, uniting with the median 
vein close to the origin of the third branch, which is slightly curved, and extends to 
the outside of the tail. 
" Fore legs of the male very minute. The femur and tibia of equal length, slightly hairy. The
