LEP1D0PTERA IN DIG A. 
intervening spaces between tbe veins ; cilia slightly alternated with white ; markings 
fuliginous-white. Foreiving with an elongated discoidal streak, which is broadly 
indented at upper end of the cell; a transverse discal excurved macular band, 
composed of three subapical spots, of which the upper is minute, slender, and 
divided by the third subcostal veinlet, the two next somewhat elongate, and decreasing 
in size, and four lower spots, the first of which is between the upper and middle 
medians, small and dentate, the second larger and broadly conical, the third broadly 
triangular, the lowest being narrow and slightly expanded on the posterior margin ; 
these are bordered outwardly by a slender pale brownish-white inner-submarginal 
wavy line, a broader submarginal lunular line—which is almost white in the female, 
and then by a marginal slender line. Findwing crossed by a broad inner-discal 
band, and a narrower more diffused outer band, between which is a pale brown 
inedial-discal sinuous fascia, and beyond a marginal slender line. Underside dark 
ferruginous; markings as above, tinged with pinkish-white, the three marginal lines 
on foreiving more prominent and lilacine-white. Findwing also with a broad basal 
pinkish-white band, the medial discal sinuous fascia and marginal line lilacine- 
white. Body and palpi above, blackish ; palpi and thorax beneath, forelegs and 
middle and hind femora pale grey; abdomen beneath and middle and hind tibiae and 
tarsi pale greyish-ochreous ; antennae blackish above, tip and beneath reddish. 
Expanse, d ? 2 x - 0 to 2 x - 0 inches. 
Wet-season brood (Plate 287, fig. 1, e, d, $). 
Imago. —Male. Smaller than dry-season form; markings similar. Upperside 
dark fuliginous-brown, with blackish intervening spaces between the veins. 
Foreiving with a narrower and more sullied fuliginous discoidal streak and subapical 
spots, the latter being smaller, the lower discal spots half the size of those in dry- 
season examples, the upper one being minute, the next triangular, and the two 
lower narrow. Findiving with the inner-discal white band narrower, the outer-discal 
band much sullied with fuliginous. Underside of a darker ground-colour than 
dry-season form, the markings narrower, as above, otherwise the same. 
Expanse, d 2 inches. 
Habitat. —Nepal; Sikkim; Khasia and Naga Hills. 
Distribution. —Several specimens of the dry-season form were taken in Nepal 
by the late General G. Ramsay, of which we possess examples of both sexes. Mr. de 
Niceville records it as “rather a rare species in Sikkim, but occurs from April to 
October” ( l.c . 89). “It is found in the lower valleys of Sikkim throughout the 
warm weather, but is certainly not a common species ” (id. Sikkim Gaz. 1894, 
137). Numerous specimens of the dry-season form have been received from the
