Show 664 ON BUTTERFLIES FROM THE NAGA HILLS, ETC. [Dec 6, Three males from Perak and one from the Karen Hills. What I have under this name is plain dull black above like A. butleri, which it resembles in shape, but differs in having no brush of hairs on the hind wing below, and in having pale obscure spots on the underside, of which six are near the apex of fore wing and five or six on the hind wing; there are also two purplish-grey bands, sometimes very faintly marked, across the hind wing below. I have the same species from Akyab, Moulmein, Borneo, and the Nilgiri Hills. LOBOCLA LILIANA. Plesioneura liliana, Atk. P. Z. S. 1871, p. 216, t. xii. 2. Abundant in the Karen Hills at 4000 feet. This is nearly allied to and perhaps only a local race of L. bifasciatus, Brem. & Grey, of Northern and Central China, with which I think Lobocla casyapa, Moore, is synonymous; but as all m y specimens are separated by the larger size, blacker colour, broader white band, and more apical spots, I keep it as a distinct species. These two species, together with Eudamus germanus and E. nepos, Oberthiir, and E. simplex, Leech, all from China, form a group which seems to have much affinity if not to be congeneric with the N . American Eudamus, which Moore in describing Lobocla does not mention. This genus and Erynnis, Schrank, are the only two that I know of in India which have the costa of the fore wing in the male folded over on to the upperside of the wing. EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES.
