LEPIDOPTERA INDICA . 
Dinarbas on the upperside, in having the ground colour castaneous instead of pale 
brown, the discal band straighter and better defined; the ocelli on the hindwing 
smaller and blind. On the underside the ground colour in L. Brisanda is ochreous, 
in L. Dinarbas it is pale brown washed with violescent; the forewing has four ocelli 
owing to the discal band being narrower, in L. Dinarbas there are three only ; on 
both wings in the latter the discal narrow lines are dark brown instead of ferruginous 
and broader and more regular.” 
A male and female obtained near Buxa, Bhotan, by Mr. A. V. Knyvett’s native 
collectors. L. Dinarbas also occurs at Buxa. 
The illustrations of this species on our Plate No. 85, fig. 3, represent the 
male type, kindly lent by Mr. H. J. Elwes, and fig. 3a, the female, reproduced from 
Mr. L. de Niceville’s figure of the type specimen.
