PREFACE.

Tue Trustees of the British Museum having declined to proceed with my
Catalogue of the Lycan1p, I have thought it best to continue these IL1us-
TRATIONS as a separate work, and under a title which is intelligible. I have to
regret, now, that a wish to contribute to a national work, as well as to avoid
the personal cost attending such a publication, induced me to offer my services
to a body of men who, with two or three exceptions, know nothing, and care as
little, about Natural History. They have marred the uniformity of a work

into which I had entered with all my heart.

To make this new work as complete as it is now in my power to do, I have
incorporated all the species of Lyczenide mentioned in the British Museum
Catalogue, making a few corrections, and introducing the new species of

Amblypodia in their proper places.

I hope to proceed with the Lycenid in my next Part; but in order to feel

iv PREFACE.

myself at liberty to work at any other family at the same time, I have adopted

the comprehensive title of this work. =

T must not conclude this Preface without expressing the great obligation I
feel to those friends who have so generously aided me during its progress—to
Dr. Gray of the British Museum, to Dr. Boisduval, Mr. A. R. Wallace, and

Professor Westwood.

INTRODUCTION,

Tue study of this very beautiful group of Butterflies seems to be beset with
difficulties. Some strange anomalies attend them. Characters which in other
groups would be considered significant, seem here to mean nothing. Of two
species, of which it would require the best skill of the artist to show the
difference, the male of one has on the underside of the anterior wing a tuft of
long hair attached to the inner margin, whilst the other is without it. Of two
other species equally alike, one has a spot on the centre of the anterior wing
(formed usually by the different disposition of the scales) which can some-
times be seen only in one particular light, whilst the other, so nearly allied to

it that it requires an accurate eye to note the difference, is without it.

The palpi differ greatly in length in the sexes of the same species; and of
two butterflies which are far too nearly allied to be separated by more than
specific distinction, one has the last joint unusually long, whilst in the other it
is scarcely visible. The branches from the subcostal nervure, which are such
an assistance in determining the position of genera with regard to each other
in other families, here avail little, and differ in the sexes of the same species.
The sexes, although they differ widely from each other above, are, most

fortunately, very constant on the underside.

In consequence of the death of my lamented friend Mr. Hewitson, the duty of
publishing the last part of his ‘ Illustrations of Diurnal Lepidoptera’ has devolved
upon me.

At the time of Mr. Hewitson’s death in the month of May last, there were at
his residence at Oatlands two unfinished plates, drawn by him on the stone: I am
indebted to Mr. Rippon for putting the finishing touches to the stone, and coloring
the two specimen plates; while Mr. Kirby has been good enough to attend to the
letterpress, which was in manuscript, and to prepare the index for the whole
work.

‘As the “Specimen of a Catalogue of Lycenide in the British Museum,” by
Mr. Hewitson, forms an integral part of the work, its contents have been included
in the Index, although it was published by the Trustees of the British Museum,
and not by Mr. Van Voorst.

Three new species in the last part are described by Mr. Kirby; these descrip-
tions, as well as a few trifling additions, are enclosed in brackets and signed with
his initials.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE BINDER.

THis work may be bound either in one or two volumes. A separate titlepage is
given for the plates, which will form the second volume when the latter mode is
adopted. Great care will be necessary in cutting down the “Specimen of a
Catalogue of the Lyceenide in the British Museum,” as it is considerably larger
than the rest of the work.

PERO ClO N:

THis specimen of a Catalogue of Butterflies of the family Lycenide includes the
description of those of the genus Amblypodia chiefly ; not only of such as are in the
British Museum, but of some examples representing species not there, and known to
be in other collections, with the view of indicating desiderata for the National Museum
to persons who may have the opportunity and disposition to supply them.

Mr. Hewitson observes :—“ Feeling the impossibility of pointing out satisfactorily,
by description only, the nice distinctions which characterize the species of the genus
Amblypodia, figures of every new or undescribed species have been given.

“For this reason the author has not attempted to describe each species in detail.
On the upper surface, with two or three exceptions, they are of a blue (varying
infinitely in tint), sometimes intense, sometimes of the lustre almost of JZorpho
Cypris and M. Rhetenor. On the underside, where almost every species has a cer-
tain number of spots near the base of both wings, as well as at the end of the discoidal
cell, their absence only has been noticed in the descriptions ; whilst the form of the
band which crosses the anterior wing, and is one of the most distinctive charac-
teristics of the group, has been particularly referred to. In consequence of expe-
rience gained during the progress of the work, two or three alterations have been
made in the nomenclature of the plates.

“Rare and unique species have, with much liberality and kindness, been lent
[to make this specimen of a Catalogue more complete] from the collections of
Dr. Boisduval, the East India Museum, from Mr. Wallace, Mr. Saunders, Dr. Felder
of Vienna, and the Hope Museum at Oxford.”

The figures of the new species are from Mr. Hewitson’s pencil, and have been

coloured under his superintendence by Mr. Standish.

The figure which I have quoted from Angas’s ‘Australia’ is probably intended for the other sex of this
species. A second figure may be intended to represent O. dmaryllis ; but as it is carelessly drawn, and without
sufficient regard to size or the shape of the spots, it may apply to another species.

This may be 4. Anthore of the Plate ; but it is impossible to determine, by description only, the nice distinctions
which divide species so much alike as those of this genus. The insect from which Dr. Boisduval wrote his

My reason for again figuring this species is to endeavour to rectify the unaccountable mistakes which have
been made with regard to Cramer’s figure. It is one of the best in the book; and yet Godart, when evidently
describing 4. Centaurus, refers it to Cramer’s Helius. Dr. Horsfield, in describing the species to which I have
given the name of dedias, refers it to Cramer’s Helius.

The butterfly represented by figs. 29, 30, 31, stands in Dr. Boisduval’s collection as Helius of Cramer.

When the Plate was drawn, I believed this to be only a local variety of 4. Vivarna, not having then seen the
example figured in the Catalogue of the East India Museum, which has the apex of the anterior wing
unusually lengthened out. On the underside this species differs from Vivarna chiefly in the obscurity, or
absence altogether, of the white spots which constitute the central band of the posterior wing of that species.

Genus AMBLYPODIA.

Amstyropia, Horsfield.

Arnopata, Boisduval.

The genus Amblypodia of the “ Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera ’”’ seems to me to con-
tain materials for several genera. 1 have included here the first thirteen species only
of that work. These, and the numerous beautiful new species from the Collection of
Mr. Wallace, form a very natural group. 4. Narada and A. Anita, though somewhat
aberrant (the males having a fourth branch from the subcostal nervure), are well placed
where they are, and I think that it would be a mistake to separate them. Of the true
position of 4. Zycenaria of Felder and A. Ceca of the plate I have more doubt—they are
of much more slender proportions than the rest of the genus. 4. Vivarna, A. Amisena,
and 4. Quercetorum are perhaps not very well placed here—their presence seems some-
what to mar the uniformity of the genus; but as I know of no better position for
them at present, I prefer to keep them where they are rather than to place them (as

Dr. Felder proposes to do) in the genus Myrina.

The underside of A. Anarte now figured must be considered as typical of the species. It is
evident that the male figured in the British Museum Catalogue, figs. 16, 17, has the spots
exaggerated and ill-formed; the drawing is, however, a correct copy of the butterfly from

which it was taken.

This is one of a group of several species of great beauty, unsurpassed, except in size, by the
glorious Morphos of the New World. A. Helius of Cramer, A. Theba of Boisduval, A. Anthore
and A. Acron of the Museum Catalogue, A. Aexone, A. Azenia and A. Axiothea of this work,
although resembling each other, above, in the same inimitable blue, are singularly different
underneath, and I think few would turn over this species, after gazing on the effulgence of its
upper surface, without an exclamation of surprise at the unexpected contrast.

I expressed my regret that the figure of this species in the British Museum Catalogue, fig. 64,
did not represent it to my satisfaction; the band of the anterior wing is there too broad, and
does not represent as it ought the projecting central spot. I have now repeated the underside
without colour, and I trust that the arrangement of the spots will be distinctly seen. This is
one of the commonest species: it differs much in size, but may be known, on the upperside, by

the very narrow border of the wings of the male and the very broad border of those of the
female; on the underside by the transverse band of the male, which has the middle spot pro-
jecting outwardly beyond the rest, and by the same band of the female, which has the middle
and last spot also projecting outwards.

Exp. 1,4 inch.

In the Collection of A. R. Wallace, from Sumatra,

I have figured three closely allied species without colour, believing that I can thus best show
the minute distinctions which seem to separate them. A. Aroa is very nearly allied to A. Hy-
pomuta: the blue of its upperside is less brilliant, and the spots and bands of the underside
appear to be much wider apart. A. Hypomuta seems, on the posterior wing, as if covered
throughout with spots, the spaces between the bands and spots having nearly the same
appearance as the usual spots and bands themselves have.

caused in the progress of the work. These specimens, and those of Myrina, have been lent
me from a distance, and I could no longer delay their publication. I have therefore thought
it best, whilst adding to these, to complete the other genera at the same time and up to the
same date. Other friends, Mr. Bates and Mr. Saunders, whose collections of the genus
Thecla have been several years in my keeping, will, I hope, forgive this digression.

After a careful and repeated examination of a large series of specimens, and every wish to
adopt the species proposed by other entomologists, I feel compelled most reluctantly to come to
the conclusion that this genus, as we know it up to the present time, contains two species only—
A. Bulis, which is easily known, and A. Thetys, of which the difficulty is to find two examples
that are alike, varying in the males in the breadth of the margin, in the females in the colour
of the centre of the wings, and on the underside of both from a pure spotless white to the
clouded, distinctly banded variety from Borneo and Celebes. A variety of the female in the
Collection of Mr. Wallace is all brown above, with the exception of a moderate-sized white spot
on the middle of the anterior wing, and a minute round spot of the same colour near the apex
of the posterior wing.

Unpersipe lustrous white, irrorated throughout with minute black dots. Both wings
crossed near the middle by a nearly straight ill-defined band slightly tinted with lilac, and
bordered below by a waved black line: commencing near the apex of the anterior wing and
ending below the middle of the abdominal fold, sometimes continuous, sometimes broken where
the wings meet. Posterior wing with a second very indistinct broken band beyond the middle.
Both wings with a line of minute black spots near the outer margin.

Exp. 1,%5 inch.

In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson, from North India.

The male of Anops Bulis very nearly resembles the dark females of A. Thetys: it may be
always readily known from the numerous varieties of A. Thetys not only by the peculiar form
of its wings, but also by the position of the transverse band of the underside, which is nearer
the apex of the anterior wing, and crosses the posterior wing at the end of the cell and in a line
with the disco-cellular nervures.

Genus DEUDORIX, Hewitson.

Avunezus, part., Doubleday.

Dirsas, part., Westwood.

Head large; eyes large and prominent, hirsute, the space between them occupied by some
bright colour. Palpi squamose, smooth; the terminal joimt in the male very short, slender
(much longer in the female), Antenne long, distinctly clubbed ; the club long (less distinct in
the female). Body very robust, densely covered with long hair.

Anterior wing triangular; costal margin straight or slightly curved, apex acute; outer
margin slightly curved outwards from the apex to the middle inwards near the anal angle.
Costal nervure extending to beyond the middle of the margin; the subcostal nervure with
three branches, two before the end of the cell, the third at a distance from the apex; the
discoidal cell long, closed by the disco-cellular nervules in a straight line,—the first obsolete,
the second and third of nearly equal length, joining the third branch of the median nervure a
little beyond its base; the upper discoidal nervure leaves the subcostal before the end of the
discoidal cell.

Posterior wing with one tail (with the exception of D. Timoleon, which has two) ; the anal
angle with a large and conspicuous lobe; the costal nervure continued to the apex of the wing ;

DEUDORIX. ily

the subcostal branched before the end of the cell; the disco-cellular nervures of equal length,
joining the third median nervule a very little beyond its base.

I would very gladly have adopted the generic name of Dipsas for this group of
butterflies, could it have been retained. The genus Dipsas of Doubleday was intended
to contain two species only, Z7hecla Sila of Kollar (Hugel’s Kaschmir, pl. 4) and the
Dipsas Atazxus of the “ Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera” (pl. 74). Mr. Westwood has
also constructed his genus Dipsas, and made the dissections for that purpose, from one
of these species; and as they must for the future take their places next to Thecla
Quercus, from which they do not differ except in colour, and have very little resem-
blance to the other species with which they have been associated, I am compelled
reluctantly to abandon the genus Dzpsas.

The genus Deudoriz, of which Hpyarbas is typical, seems to form a very natural
group ; it will contain species which are placed by Mr. Westwood in several genera
with which they do not seem to accord. If I have the good fortune to place them
better than he has done, he will himself be the first to acknowledge it, and will give
me credit when I say that I would much rather tread in his footsteps than trace a track
for myself where the way is ill-defined. D. Timoleon and D. Nila are somewhat
aberrant: their eyes are smooth, and the males have a fourth branch from the sub-
costal nervure. The wings of D. Galathea are less pointed than in the more typical
species, but in this it resembles the females of some of them. Several of the species
have great resemblance to the Hesperide, and must, like them, be of rapid flight.

D. Amyntor, D. Despena, D. Eos, D. Loxias, D. Epijarbas, and D. Diovis are without
a tuft of hair (which the males of all the other species possess) at the immer margin
on the underside of the anterior wing. ‘To adopt it as a sectional character would only

disarrange species which should come close together.

This is very closely, perhaps too closely, allied to D. Epijarbas. It will be seen, by com-
paring the figures of the plate, that there is considerable difference in the form of the posterior
wings, and that they differ in the arrangement of the white bands on the underside of the
posterior wings. In colour they are different, but this is not worth much, the figure of
D. Epyarbas being unusually dark, The females of both species are alike.

This species is so closely allied to D. Chozeba that I had passed it over, believing it to be its
female, until I found that they were both of the same sex; it differs from D. Chozeba in the
less acute apex of the anterior wing and the larger proportion of blue. On the underside it is
tinted with purple: the spots and bands are much more distinctly marked than in D. Chozeba,
and resemble D. Varuna. I regret that there is no figure, bemg quite aware of the futility
of attempting to define, by written description only, the minute traits which serve to mark the
specific distinctions of closely allied species amongst the Lycenide.

The variety of the plate was drawn from a belief that there was only one species ; since then,
I am inclined to think that there are two. First, the Timoleon of Stoll (a wretched figure), the
insect figured by Dr. Boisduval, and Rochana of Horsfield and Moore, which agree in having
the posterior wing broad at the anal angle, with two slender tails; and secondly, distinct from
them, the figure in Donovan’s Insects of China, the Ni/a of Kollar, and the figure of the plate,

which have the posterior wing much more pointed at the anal angle and with one broad tail.

The white spots on the underside of the posterior wing of Mecenas are much less distinctly
defined, the large white spot near the base is shorter, the double zigzag white lines which cross
the wing of Timoleon (converging into one) are scarcely seen in Maecenas, and the slender

white line which in Timoleon connects the basal spot and the transverse lines is in Mecenas
represented by a round spot.

Genus MYRINA.

Mynrina, Godart.

This genus contains species of great diversity of form and colour. The males of one
species, 17. Amrita, have a fourth branch from the subcostal nervure, the rest have two
or three branches; but as this difference is unaccompanied by any corresponding
diversity in the structure, and seems here only worthy of notice as a specific character,
I have not used it as a sectional demarcation. J. Amrita, M. Otraeda, M. Phocides,
M. Sugriva, and M. Nedymond have, as in the genus Deudoriz, a tuft of long hair on
the inner margin of the underside of the anterior wing ; and below it, on the posterior
wing, a cup-like depression. Some species have the longest tail close to the anal angle
and in a line with the submedian nervure ; others have it in continuation with the third
branch of the median nervure. I have divided the genus into two sections. Most of
those included in the second section are of much more robust habit than those which
precede them; their antenn are longer and more distinctly clubbed; they resemble
Deudoriz, but have the palpi longer.

Amblypodia Jangala of Horsfield, and two new species closely allied to it, ought
probably to come into this genus; at the present time I have hesitated to include

them.

This species differs in a remarkable way from the rest of the genus. In the male, the inner
margin of the anterior wing is rounded and projected outwardly, as in Euplea; the middle of
this margin has a tuft of long hair projecting from it at right angles, which covers a curious
circular cup-like hollow spot on the opposite margin of the posterior wing: the male has,
besides this, a fourth branch from the subcostal nervure of the anterior wing.

The figure of this species was made from a very imperfect specimen, kindly lent me by
Professor Westwood, from the Hope Collection. It has a large white spot on each of the
anterior wings, which I have not mentioned in the description because these spots appear to
have been produced by having all the blue scales rubbed off. It has a similar tuft of hair on
the anterior wing, and cup-like hollow to meet it on the posterior wing, which I have men-
tioned in M. Amrita. The spot which I have indicated on the underside of the posterior wing,
representing the convex side of the said hollow, would not be visible, I think, unless the white
scales were rubbed off. It would, if perfect, have three tails.

I have not described this species minutely. It is so like the next species on the underside
that it will be best to point out the difference :—on the anterior wing of this species there is a
short pale rufous band from the middle of the costal margin before the transverse lines; the
first two transverse lines are much closer together than in M. Nenia, and parallel to each other :

Dr. Felder, whilst placing this species with Myrina, points out several peculiarities in which
it differs from the other species of the genus; these discrepancies induced Dr. Boisduval to pro-
pose a new genus for it; but as its points of resemblance to Myrina surpass its divergencies, I
have preferred to place it where it is.

I can find no place for this species which seems to me so appropriate as that in which it is
placed. It is without the third branch of the subcostal nervure of Jolaus, but has the tuft of
hair between the wings which separates it from Hypolycena. It has, however, very little
likeness to any species of Myrina, except in the prolonged form of the posterior wing, in which
it resembles M, Hypoleuca,

[I have thought it best to add here two corrections to the former part of this work. For
Myrina Thymbreus, page 28, Horsfield’s name of Jalindra, having the priority, must be
adopted ; and Myrina Syrinz of Felder (p. 34) must give place to M. Onyx of Doubleday,
this species having been previously described by Horsfield and Moore. The two species must
therefore stand thus :—

Myrina Jalindra.

Genus IOLAUS.

Totaus, Hiibner.

I hope and trust that Jo/aus, as I have grouped it here, comprehending as it does
part of Amblypodia and part of Lo/aus of Doubleday and Westwood, will be considered
a good genus. I have taken P. Hurisus of Cramer as the type. The palpi have the
second joint very long, the third joint (long in the females) projecting outwards, as shown
in Plate XX. The subcostal nervure has a third branch. The males of most of
the species are remarkable for a tuft of long hair, varying in colour, which projects
inwards from, and at a right angle with, the immer margin on the underside of the
anterior wing. Some have the margin projecting outwards as in Lwplea, all met by a
polished surface on the posterior wing. I have never seen J. Jsmenias of Klug and
Ehrenberg, but have little doubt that it has its true position here. I do not know
I. Cippus of Godart.

This species is nearly allied to I. Longinus, from which it differs in the position of the lnear
band of the underside of the posterior wing. In this species the said band is much further
from the outer margin, and is much more regularly curved, forming a complete segment of a
circle. It is also nearly allied to LZ. Mantra, but is of a different colour on the underside, and
is without the beautiful silvery blue which adorns the anal angle of that species.

I must confess myself quite unable to understand why J. Pseudolonginus was separated from
this species. It is true that the linear bands on the underside differ much in their intensity
and are sometimes nearly absent in the males; but there is no other difference.

T have had difficulty in fixing the true position of this very unusually marked species. It
bears a general resemblance to the female of Hypolycena Phorbas. It has, however, the long
palpi of Jolaus, as well as the third branch from the subcostal nervure. Two examples only
have, I believe, hitherto arrived in Europe.

Genus CAMENA, Hevwitson.

Head large ; eyes smooth, the space between them prominent, thickly clothed alternately
with black and white hair. Palpismooth, very erect, long; the second joint compressed, rising
above the head; the terminal joint of the male as long as the second. Antenne of moderate
length, with numerous short joints indicated by white on the underside. Body robust.

Anterior wing triangular; costal margin nearly straight; outer margin slightly curved
outwards, shorter than the other margins; inner margin slightly projecting near the base,
where it is clothed with a tuft of hair on its underside. Costal nervure extending to the middle
of the margin; subcostal nervure with three branches, two before the end of the cell, the
third at a distance from the apex; the discoidal cell half the length of the wing, closed by two
disco-cellular nervules in a straight line,—the second three times as long as the first, joming
the third branch of the median nervure a little beyond its base; the upper discoidal nervure
leaves the subcostal before the end of the cell.

Posterior wing with two slender tails; the abdominal fold and anal angle clothed thickly
with long hair; the costal nervure continued to the apex of the wing ; the subcostal branched
before the end of the cell; the cell short, closed obliquely by nervules of equal length joing

the third branch of the median nervule a little beyond its base.

The species of this genus, though nearly allied to those of Deudoryx, differs from
them in having its eyes smooth, its antenna shorter, and in being without the distinct
lobe of the posterior wing. It resembles nearly some of the species which compose the

second section of the genus Myrina, but differs from them also in its smooth eyes, in
H 2

48 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA.

possessing a third subcostal nervule, and in the greater length of the terminal joint of
the palpi. In colour, and in having the tuft of hair between the wings, it appears to

come near Iolaus, but has very different palpi.

Camena Ctesia, Hewitson. Prats XX. ¢ figs. 1, 2.

Urrrrsipe. Male.—Brilliant ultramarine blue marked by a triangular dark brown spot :
all the margins broadly dark brown. Posterior wing with the apex dark brown: an apical
brown spot irrorated with white.

Unpersive glossy grey. Both wings with a brown spot at the end of the cell, each
crossed beyond the middle by a band of dark brown spots bordered with white: each with a
band of brown (scarcely visible on the anterior wing) near the outer margin. Posterior wing
with a submarginal band of brown spots, the two apical spots crowned with orange.

Genus HYPOLYCANA.

Hyrotycana, Felder.

I had set apart the insects which are now included in Hypolyczna as the represen-
tatives of a new genus before I had the pleasure of knowing that Dr. Felder had thus
proposed to unite those which form the eastern portion of the present genus. I have
adopted his genus, but have made it more comprehensive, and, I hope, not less compact,
by adding the African species which have been included in Iolaus, 7. 4masa with its
long tails forming the connecting link of the two groups. The palpi of both sexes are
nearly alike and very erect, the second jomt compressed, the terminal joint of some of
the females very long and like a fine needle. They are without the third branch from
the subcostal nervure, and thus show their relationship to some of the species of Myrina
and the true Theclas. They are without the tuft of hair between the wings. H. Ceculus,
though in appearance more like Iolaus, has the palpi of this genus, and has not the
third subcostal branch.

I do not know H. Freja of Fabricius, and therefore place it here with doubt.

I had thought that the insect from Luzon (figure 3 of the plate) described by Dr. Felder as
a new species might be only a female variety of H. Hrylus, until I received the example at
figure 6, which I believe to be its male. The female does not differ from Hrylus on the
underside, and has the transverse band continuous, or nearly so, where the wings meet, whilst
in figure 6 it is far apart.

Figures 13 and 14 of the plate represent H. Sipylus of Felder, from Amboyna; figures 11
and 12 his H, Tharrytas, from Luzon, which seems to me to be only a variety of the former,
the only difference being that H. Tharrytas has a larger portion of pale blue on the upperside,
and that the bands and spots of the underside are less distinctly marked.

Lalmenus has no very characteristic traits to give it distinction as a genus. It will
take in Chrysomallus and two other species for which it would be difficult to find a
position so good. The eyes are smooth. ‘The palpi are long (unusually long), in some
of the males. In most of the species the second joint is smooth, or nearly so, but in
I. Inous and I. Myrsilus it is clothed with hair. The antenne have the jomts
short and very numerous. There are three branches from the subcostal nervure, and

in the males of Chrysomallus and Ictinus a fourth branch.

This genus at present contains one species only, an Australian butterfly more nearly
allied to Za/menus than any other genus, but differing from the species of that genus

too much to be included in it with them.

ILERDA. 57

Genus ILERDA.

Inerpa, Doubleday.

1 am glad to adopt this and the genus Ja/menus, which were proposed by Mr. E.
Doubleday, if only to relieve the genus Zhecla of intruders which do not well accord
with its numerous South American species.

Llerda has the palpi erect, covered with hair, the terminal jot long and smooth: the
antennz: composed of long and few jomts: the subcostal nervure with three branches.
It is nearly allied to Chrysophanus, Ilerda Sena and C. Pavana forming the connecting
links.

Colour, which in some genera seems to be of little worth im the discrimination of

things can bespeak a new dress in each generation, varying from a dull pale blue to the
metallic sheen of a Morpho, a brilliant glitterig green, and a lustre which in J. Brahma

rivals Chrysophanus ignitus, a very good one.

The kindness of Mr. Frederick Moore, who has very recently received a fine series of these
beautiful things from Sikkim, has enabled me to make the summary of this genus much
more complete than it would otherwise have been. I regret, however, very much that these
materials did not arrive in time to allow me to illustrate them with figures. I have pleasure
in naming a new species after a friend and an ardent naturalist.

Zeritis, Westwood.

The single species, the only representative of this genus at present known, has
characters which place it widely apart from the African group with which it has hitherto
been associated. It is very nearly allied to the genus Deudorix, from which it differs

in being without the tail and Jobe of the posterior wing.

Head large. Eyes large, densely clothed with hair. Papi smooth, compressed, projecting
outwards (not embracing the head), the terminal joint rather long. Antenne long, distinctly

Genus APHN AUS.

Arunaus, Hiibner, Horsfield & Moore.
Ampuiyropia, Westwood.

Sprnpasis, Wallengren.

Aphneus contains a very natural group of butterflies, somewhat difficult to define,
however, as it approaches the Cape species of Zeritis. The eyes are smooth. The
palpi are erect, embracing the head, covered with scales, the terminal joint short.
The antennz are short, becoming gradually thicker towards the joint, the club nearly
half their length. The subcostal nervure has three joints, except in Orcas, which has
a fourth. I have adopted Horsfield’s species, and, having done so, have found it
necessary to make another, 4. Jctis, having some of the characters of both. The short
bands of the anterior wing, the third and fourth from the base, are uncertain in their

position and their length.

The only example of this very beautiful species which I have seen is in the Hope Museum
at Oxford, and has been generously lent to me by Professor Westwood. I am sorry that
I did not know of its existence in time to give it a place upon the plate, since it is a female,
the males only having been figured by Drury and Donovan. It is from Sierra Leone, and I do not
believe that this species is an mhabitant of the East at all. The imsectsin the British and East-
India Museums, from India, which have been catalogued by Doubleday, by Horsfield and Moore,
and referred to by Westwood in the ‘Genera’ as representatives of this species, Pindarus
of Fabricius and Donovan, are all referable to A, Lohita of Horsfield, and do not differ from it.

64 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA.

Genus DIPSAS.

Dresas, Doubleday.

Dirsas, part., Westwood.

As I have before stated, the genus Dipsas was intended by Mr. Doubleday to contain
two species, D. Stila and D. Ataxus, too closely allied to 7. Quercus and T. Betule to.
be separated from them. With these Mr. Westwood associated those species (of very
different character) which now form the genus Deudoriz. It was therefore necessary
to reject the genus Dipsas as it stands in the ‘Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera.’ I
have now, however, found it advantageous to adopt it in its original form, and think
that it will be found to be a very good genus, and will relieve Zhecla of species which
are not quite in accordance with it. Dipsas has a third branch from the subcostal
nervure wanting in Zkecla. It will be seen by comparison how intimately connected
the Asiatic and European species are with each other. On the underside D. Si/a and
D. Quercus scarcely differ, and although the Japanese species seem a little aberrant,
D. Lutea and D. Betule are also much alike below. The eyes are very small, hairy
in some species, smooth in others. The palpi are rather long, the first joint embracing
the head and covered with long hair, the terminal joint short, pointed outwards. The

antennee rather thick, many-jointed, the club long.

68 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA.

Genus TRICHONIS, Hevwitson.

Head rather large; eyes smooth. Palpi short, smooth, slender, embracing the head: the
terminal joint short, poimting outwards (of the same length in both sexes). Antenne rather
short, many-jointed, the club long.

Anterior wing with the costal margin rounded near the base; outer margin slightly curved
outwards, at a right angle with the costal margin; inner margin curved outwards as in Huplea,
and covering a polished surface on the posterior wing. Costal nervure extending to a little
beyond the middle of the margin; subcostal neryure at a distance from the margin, with two
branches, both before the end of the cell; discoidal cell half the length of the wing, closed
obliquely by the disco-cellular nervures, the first short, the second twice as long, the third
twice as long as the second, joining the third branch of the median nervure a little beyond its
base.

Posterior wing very round, especially in the female, its costal margin projected outwards
near its base; the discoidal cell short.

Fore legs of the male of very unusual form, the tibiz and tarsi of equal length, smooth; the
tarsi exarticulate, robust, and broad beyond the middle. Fore legs of female of the usual form,

jointed and spined.

reverse the sexes and consider figure 2 as the male, or believe them to be both of that sex,
since each of them have the polished surface where the wings meet, peculiar to the males only
of other genera.

Head of moderate size; eyes very slightly hairy. Palpi long; the second joint squamose,
round, not embracing the head; the terminal joint long, pointing outwards. Antenne slender
(much more so than in Kumeus) with few joints, the club long and slender.

Anterior wing with the margins of nearly equal length, all rounded outwardly. Costal
nervure two-thirds the length of the wing; subcostal nervure with two branches.

Posterior wing round, with one short tail; the discoidal cell half the length of the wing.

Fore legs robust like those of Eumeus.

Mr. Westwood has expressed his difficulty in giving a definition to this genus. I
have made it somewhat easier by removing from it all those species having a third
branch from the subcostal nervure, leaving it to those species only which, with few

exceptions, are either American or European and have only two branches from the

said nervure. Thus curtailed, the genus Zhecla will contain a large number of species
of great diversity of form and colour. The species with which I have commenced the
genus, amongst them some of the most glorious things in creation, have the anal
angle slit into two parts, the terminal joint of the palpi of the males very short, of the
females very long. I may not have placed this genus in the best position with regard
to the neighbouring genera, but I have been anxious to commence it, having had by
me for a long time all the new species from the collections of Mr. Bates and of Mr. W.
W. Saunders, whose kindness, together with the stores of the British Museum, will

enable me to figure in my next Part upwards of one hundred new species.

Hiibner’s figures of this species do not at all do justice to its great beauty. Nothing can
exceed the brilliancy of the underside of the posterior wing. It is of a deep crimson irrorated
throughout with golden green, gorgeous from the base to the central band; the inner border of
the said band of the outer margin, as well as the fringe of the margin and of the tails, is bright
silvery lilac.

In his description of this species Godart has fortunately referred to the large silky spot on
the anterior wing of the upperside, blue in one light and scarcely visible, brown in another.
Cramer’s figure is, I have little doubt, intended for this species, although there is no indication
of the silky spot; it appears to me that he has drawn the upperside from a male and the
underside from a female. Examples differ considerably between the double angle of the trans-
verse band on the underside of 7. Gabriela and the single angle of 7. Batesii.

Differing from them as this species does, in form and in the unusual decoration of the
underside, I do not at all doubt that it is rightly placed here. It has the very short terminal
joint of the palpi common to the males of this group; the singular hirsute base of the costal
margin of the anterior wing is equally remarkable in the next two species, T. Satyroides and

T. Temathea.

This may be only a variety of 7. Satyroides, from which it differs very much as two species
of Eurygona, E. Eutychus and E. Phedica, differ from each other ; and unless we are to consider
the presence of an extra band as aspecific distinction, it will be avery difficult matter to divide
into species Euptychia and Neonympha, to which this species bears such remarkable
resemblance.

Wallengren, who has made a new genus, to contain, I suppose, some of the larger species of
Thecla, is singularly unfortunate in the selection of his type. The palpi, which form one of
the chief characters of his genus, are described as “ brevissimi.”” This description would apply
to such species as T. regalis and Gabriela (imperialis has the palpi long), but to the males
only, the females of which have the palpi very long ; and I should scarcely think it desirable to
establish a genus upon characters which would be applicable to one sex only. T. Rustan of
Stoll is the only species of the group that I can call to mind which has the palpi of both
sexes very short. Wallengren’s type, P. Marsyas of Linneus, has the palpi of both sexes long,
of the female very long. If the type of a genus should be as unlike all its neighbours as
possible, then P. Marsyas is an excellent type. The Felders have adopted this genus.

104: DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA.

These things vary so little except occasionally in colour, that, though this is very closely
allied to T. Orobia, I have preferred to consider it as a distinct species. It is larger, has both
wings broadly margined with brown on the upperside, and on the underside is without the
white spots which commence the transverse band on the costal margin of the anterior wing, and
is also without the white spot near the apex and the band of blue which borders the median
nervure on the wing of 7. Orobia. The females of the-two species do not differ except in size.

When figuring my 7. Faventia I had passed over Hiibner’s figure, not supposing that it
could (with the broad border of white’ on the underside of the posterior wing) be intended for
the same species. I now believe that it is: the transverse bands of both (which are, in their want
of relief of brown border, different from those of any other species) exactly agree. The sub-
marginal white of Hiibner’s figure is probably exaggerated. I have found it quite impracticable,
with the greatest care, to represent the transverse bands with the truth and delicacy of nature.
It is quite necessary to leave some trace upon the paper for the guidance of the colourer instead
of trusting to the accuracy of his eye alone; and this is of necessity often too strongly de-
fined. My aim has been as much as possible to give the position of each spot in relation to its
neighbour.

I have omitted any reference to the descriptions of Fabricius and Godart, since they would
be applicable to any of the four species which I have put together on the plate in order to
compare the peculiar arrangement of the band of spots by which each of them is crossed. I
believe them to be distinct species. Hiibner’s figure, which, he says, is that of a female, has the
brighter colouring of the male, but without the discal spot. A female in the British Museum
has the centre of the anterior wing pale rufous, and the underside of a pure white.

I believed this, the Amazon insect, to be a variety only of 7. Pholeus of Cramer, until I
had received specimens of that species from Cayenne. I now believe them to be distinct,
and, though the males scarcely differ, the females, as will be seen by the figures, are not
much like each other.

It is, I think, very probable that the figure of P. Megacles is intended to represent the insect
which I have just described as 7. Adria. Cramer’s figure, however, is so little like it, that, as
no other entomologist may probably be of the same opinion, I have thought it best to regard
them as distinct species.

In distinguishing from each other the many species of Amblypodia I made great use of the
band which crosses the anterior wing on the underside, and found that I could place reliance
in its form (because accompanied by other traits of character) as a good specific test. I fear
that in this group it is variable and of less value, and doubt whether the present species,

I have no hesitation whatever in considering 7. Crolus of Cramer to be the same species as
Echion of Linneus. T. Echion of Kleeman’s figure, to which Linnzeus refers, is without any
spot at the base of the tails on the upperside, and is thus unlike the female of any species
except Crolus. Linnzus refers to a red spot at the base of the tails, but this reference is evi-

dently to the underside.

Jones’s figure of Sophocles determines this species beyond a doubt to be the same as 7”
Sphinx of Hiibner. It gives more spots near the base on the underside of the posterior wing
than are usual in Sphine ; although one example in my collection is exactly represented by it. It
gives the very peculiar form of the band on the underside of the upper wing with the three
minute spots near the costal margin at an angle with the other part of the band. Donovan’s
figure is, as usual, very bad, and does not give the form of the said band which is quite unlike
that of any other species. 7. Sophocles has a female of the same broad form as itself and not
at all like the female which Mr. Butler has given it, which is the female of Basalides.

I have figured this to show what I mean by 7. Ecbatana. It was described before I had

seen the butterfly which I have figured (fig. 348) as a dark variety of 7. Cleon, from which it
differs only in having the central band of the underside unbroken.

In going through this genus I have had to depend much upon colour, chiefly, however, of
the upperside, as a guide to specific distinction (I cannot place any dependance upon it on
the underside of this species) ; and after a very careful examination of a large number of
specimens, I come to the conclusion, and without any doubt, that those figured are one species.
The undersides, except in colour, are alike. I have figured the small female to show the great

difference of size.

An example of this species in my collection has no blue, as in Cramevr’s figure, on the anterior
wing. IfI had not found it necessary to depend very much upon the position and intensity
of colour in the many species allied to this which I have figured, I would have placed 7. Cecrops
and 7. Poeas with this. I cannot help thinking that they are one.

is at the base of the posterior wing; in Boisduval and Leconte’s the blue is near the outer
margin.

I cannot tell whether or not I am right in placing this species here. In this group of
butterflies resembling each other so closely, when the best figures of both sides are some-
times scarcely adequate to determine a species with certainty, Mr. Butler gives only one side.

—W. FE. K.]

Genus PORITIA.

Poritra, Moore.

Felder’s genus Pseudodipsas contains insects of very different construction ; and I propose
to follow Mr. Moore in dividing it into three genera—Pseudodipsas, Poritia, and Lyce-
nesthes.

Pseudodipsas Eone has three branches from the subcostal neryure. I do not in these

214 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA.

remarks count (as Edward Doubleday did) the termination of the subcostal nervure itself as a
fourth branch,

Poritia of Moore, which includes, together with P. Hewitsoni, P. Sumatre, and P. Eryct-
noides of Felder (counting in the same way), has two branches only from the subcostal
nervure. Mr. Moore says that there are four; but I cannot understand how he comes to
this conclusion, unless he counts one of the discoidal nervures.

In many of the Lycenide the first branch from the subcostal nervure, which is absorbed by
the costal nervure in one example of the same species, is free in another. I cannot, however,
trace any such absorption in the many specimens which I have examined in this genus.

Lycenesthes has three subcostal branches ; Moore says five ; but in this case it is clear that
he has counted a discoidal nervure as one. This genus, which has the appearance of a Thecla
with the neuration of Lycena, will contain Felder’s P. Lycenoides (Bengalensis, Moore), P.
Sylvanus of Drury, and P. Larydas of Cramer, and several allied species which I now describe.
L. Emolus of Trimen (I quote him for the name, feeling, as he does, a doubt as to its bemg
Godart’s species)—which he likens to a Thecla, noting its rapid flight,—his L. Otacilia, and L.
Amarah of Guérin will form part of this genus. All the species which I have examined have,
when fresh, three tail-like tufts of hair (noticed by Moore) instead of the more substantial
tails of other genera ; and this will, I think, form an excellent characteristic of the genus,
since they do not exist (as far as I have noticed) in any of the true Lycene.

SUPPLEMENT.

Genus CORYDON.

Coryvon, Boisduval, MS.

Head of moderate size: eyes smooth. Palpi thickly covered with hair, closely embracing
the head, the terminal joint unfortunately broken off. Antenne gone.

Wings as represented on the plate.

Legs as figured, a fore leg, 6 hind leg: the tarsi of the fore legs thickly armed with a
double row of spines.

I would scarcely have ventured to place this very remarkable Butterfly amongst the
Lycenide without better authority than my own, although I have very little doubt that it
belongs to this family. Professor Westwood has, with his usual kindness, examined it for me,
and expresses himself quite satisfied that this is its proper position. It has, as most of the
African Lycenid have, four branches from the subcostal nervure, and in no way differs in its
neuration from Epitola Elion, except that the cell of the posterior wing of that species is
closed somewhat more obliquely.

Corydon Boisduvalii, Hewitson. Plate I.

Uprersipe dark rufous-brown. Anterior wing crossed obliquely beyond the middle by
a band of white, divided into five parts by the nervures: the anal angle broadly blue. Pos-
terior wing blue from the discoidal cell to the outer margin: the apex white.

UnpersipE pale yellow. Anterior wing with the basal half, except the costal margin
and the anal angle, dark brown, black where it touches the costal margin and marked with
three spots of silvery blue: the costal margin and the apex with the nervures and lines
between them dark brown. Posterior wing with a large spot of orange-yellow on the costal
margin bordered outwardly and on the margin with black and two black spots, and radiating
from it five bands of dark brown: two near the base, the third not reaching to the inner
margin, the fourth extending to the anal angle, the fifth short ; between the third and fourth
of these bands there is another short band: some of the nervures towards the outer margin
and lines between or on each side of them (some of them united at the top and on the margin)
dark brown: a spot of black near the apex.

Exp. 23 inch.

In the Collection of Dr. Boisduval, from the Gaboon.

It is with very great pleasure that I have dedicated this very remarkable species to Dr.
Boisduval, mingled, however, with regret that I cannot better express my estimation of the
extreme kindness and liberality with which I have always been treated by him.

This species is so very much lke M. hypoleuca of Boisduval (Plate XVII. of this work),
both above and below, that I would have hesitated in figuring it as distinct did I not believe
that it belongs to a different section of the genus. Dr. Boisduval’s Butterfly is of different
form and more robust (I speak from memory and my figure) ; and though its anal tail was
broken off, I have little doubt that it has (as I have drawn it) a short one, like those of the
three preceding species just described. Unlike others which I have examined, this species has
a tuft of black hair on the posterior wing. In M. Amrita of Felder, a nearly allied species,
this hair is white and on the anterior wing. I neglected to examine this in hypoleuca whilst
it was under my care.

I do not place this and the three preceding species here at all to my satisfaction. The
Felders have done so, and I prefer to do so too rather than to make a new genus to contain
them. If placed according to their general appearance, they would associate best with the genus
Lycena, but are without the apical branch of the subcostal nervure of the anterior wing. By
the form of their palpi they are separated from Jolaus.

I much doubt that this is specifically distinct from H. Rabe. It is much smaller and more
suffused with brown on the upperside. ‘The bands and spots are alike on both, and only
appear different on this species from being crowded into a smaller space.

I shall be very glad if I have found a resting-place for this species, which, from the singu-
larity of its aspect, has been placed in several genera. It cannot, I think, be separated from
H. Rabe, and I believe that I am right in placing that species in this genus.

This species is singularly different from any other butterfly. In the neuration of the wings
and in its palpi and antenne it agrees with this genus. Its hind wings are unfortunately so
broken that I cannot determine whether or not it ever had tails.
