little above the centre, 3 and 4 slightly separated. Type: dromedarius L. from Europe. — In the Indian species 
the long pectinations end already before the tips. Some species have also tufted antennae. 
I. Antennae of <$ pectinated. 
N. albifascia Mr. (80 a). Forewing reddish-brown with a broad white radial band and a notched exterior albifascia. 
and submarginal line. Hindwing orange. 68—78 mm. Sikkim. 
N. albipuncta sp. n. (80 d). Thorax brown mixed with green. Forewing dark red-brown, a narrow albivunda. 
median stripe lighter and in it the narrow light reniform macula. Behind it an indistinct double dark line. Far 
outside from it white dots, from the foremost a yellow streak horizontal to the costal margin. A few yellow 
submarginal spots. Hindwing at the costal margin as on the forewing, with a dark postmedian line and a broad 
distal margin, separated by a light notched line. At the ends of the veins white dots. $ 55 mm. Sumatra 
(Barisan Mts., 800 m). Type in the British Museum. 
N. gigantea Elw. (80 d). Fore wing red-brown, at the base darker, at the centre of the costal margin gigantea. 
grey. A light subbasal and interior line vertical to the inner margin. Exterior line very oblicpie, behind it lighter. 
Reniform macula with a dark streak. Hindwing of $ whitish, in the $ yellowish. 75—100 mm. Sikkim, Kulu.

II. Antennae of B tufted. 
N. sikkima Mr. (80 e). Ground-colour grey with a dark brown marking. Interior line double, composed sikkima. 
of arches, with a point at the median vein. Exterior line formed by white streaks at the veins, between and behind 
them dark. Before and at the margin a series of spots on a greyish-white ground. Hindwing pale reddish-brown. 
48—50 mm. Sikkim. 
N. moorei Hmps. (= sikkima Mr.). Fore wing greyish-brown, basal area dark brown. Reniform macula moorei. 
narrowly white, close behind it a dark nebulous band. Exterior line composed of 3 large spots. Hindwing with 
a dark distal band, before it a light line in the anterior portion. 65—85 mm. Sikkim. 
N. irrorata Mr. Lighter. The double interior line from the bend in the centre of the cell more slantingly irrorata. 
to the inner margin. Before it at vein 1 distinctly black. Instead of the marginal spots an interrupted marginal 
line. Hindwing pale reddish-brown. J 45 mm. Sikkim, Kina Balu (Borneo). 
III. Antennae of $ dentate and tufted. 
N. flavicincta sp. n. (80 d). Somewhat darker than sikkima, otherwise very similar. Before the mostly flavicincla. 
distinct row of submarginal spots dark yellow blurred spots. Hinclwing dark red-brown. 50 —52 mm. Sikkim. 
In a $ from Sumatra (Mt. Korintji) the S' antennae seem to be more strongly pectinated. Perhaps it is also 
a separate species. 
N. irrorativiridis B.-Bak. Forewing red-brown, with a green stripe in the base of the cell and at the irrorativi- 
inner margin. An interior line and a median line of dark spots. Reniform macula large, light-edged. Exterior ridis. 
line black, strongly dentate. Above vein 3 a black radial stripe. Submarginal line and a short line before it 
greenish. <$ 55 mm. New Guinea (Dinawa). Besides a doubtful from Sikkim. 
As to the following species it cannot be stated to which group they belong. 
N. picta Hmps. Thorax dark brown, abdomen paler. Forewing dark brown, slightly spotted pink, picta. 
Apical area violettish-brown. Interior line only marked dark at the inner margin. Ring-macula and some spots 
below it pink. From the centre of vein 2 a fine yellow line extends outwards, being dentate as far as below 
vein 1, then parallel to the inner margin almost as far as the base. Exterior line black, excurved from the 
costal margin to vein 2, then inwards. B 46 mm. Khasia Hills. 
N. collaris Swh. Thorax and abdomen red-brown, tegulae white. Forewing pale, hued with red-brown, collaris. 
Submedian area and at the costal margin near the apex paler, but darker brown at the costal margin as far 
as the centre, the cell and behind it below vein 4, and the distal margin below the apex. At the base of the 
wing a white dot and 2 brown streaks. Traces of an interior and exterior brown dentate line. 45 mm. 
Khasia Hills. 
N. rufa Hmps. Forewing dark brown. Interior and exterior lines undulated, dark, indistinct; the rufa. 
exterior line at the costal margin edged with grey. At the cross-vein 2 dark spots and dark streaks in the 
marginal area. Below the cell and at the inner margin light streaks. $ 50 mm. Naga Hills. 
N. griseotincta Wilem. Dark grey, in the basal and marginal areas dusted with brown. At the cell-end griseolincla 
a black angular streak, before it pale grey. Interior line blackish, below the costal margin angular and cut
