The description of the male and female of the dry-season form here given is 
taken from Mr. Doherty's typical specimens kindly forwarded for onr examination 
by Mr. L. de Niceville. 
In the original description Mr. Doherty adds (1. c. p. 116) the “ prehensores 
close to those of Sidonis . The uncus, however, is more bent down, appearing trun¬ 
cate from above, and flattened laterally, while in Sidonis it appears acute from above 
and is cylindrical. In both species the uncial branches viewed from the side are dis¬ 
tant from the uncus, and much shorter, and come to meet it at an angle, while in 
Maitrya the uncus and its branches are nearly equal, nearly parallel, and approximate. 
The clasp also is simply hooked instead of being set with numerous barbs as in 
Sidonis and vaivarta ” 
Our illustrations of this species on Plate No. 87, figs. 2, 2a, b, c, represent 
the male and female of the dry-season brood, taken from typical specimens kindly 
lent for this purpose by Mr. L. de Niceville. 
Distribution. —Specimens of the wet-season form, taken by Colonel A. M. Lang 
at Masuri, 7000 feet, in June, 1868, are in our collection. The Rev. J. H. Hocking 
(P. Z. S. 1882, 235) obtained it in Kangra. Mr. A. Graham Young (Butt. Ind. 
160) “took specimens on the Tfhir Pass in Kulu, in July." Capt. H. B. Hellard 
(MS. Notes) records it from “ Ketruan, in Valley of Rupin River, in September.” 
Mr. W. Doherty (J. A, S. Beng. 1886, 115) probably refers to the wet-season form 
of this species under his L . Sidonis , as being taken by him at Naini Tal, 6000 to 
7000 feet; small specimens, and a large dark variety at Khati, N.-W. Kumaon, 7000 
to 8000 feet." Of the dry-season form (vaivarta) Mr. W. Doherty (1. c. p. 115) 
obtained both sexes at “ Dhankuri, Khati, Dwali, in N.-W. Kumaon ; and near 
Khela in East Kumaon, 7000 to 11,000 feet, in the cold season."

Imago. —Male. Upperside dark olivescent ochreous-brown, glossy, and when 
fresh with a brilliant golden-bronzy sheen; the outer borders with a regular dusky 
band devoid of this gloss; cilia alternated with cinereous-ochreous. Forewing with a 
very indistinct short subapical pale ochreous streak at the bifurcation of fourth and 
fifth subcostal veinlets. Hindwing with a submarginal series of five round black 
spots, each with slightly pale outer ring, the upper second being the largest. Under¬ 
side paler. Forewing with an obscure dusky bar across middle of the cell, a trans¬ 
verse oblique discal pale olivescent-lilacine fascia, which is most prominent at its 
costal end and becomes obsolete posteriorly; a subapical similar pale descending 
fascia which is more lilacine-white at its costal end ; marginal line pale bordered, but 
obsolescent hindward. Hindunng with three subbasal and a discal glossy lilacine
