slightly produced at the outer angle of the hind-wings. Zemeros 

 flegyas (Cramer), from India, is brown, with many pale yellowish 

 spots, adjoining black ones, and arranged in more or less irregu- 

 lar transverse rows, on both sides of the wings. In Zemeros 

 albipunctaia, Butler, from the Malay Peninsula and the adja- 

 cent islands, pale spots are present only towards the tips of 

 the fore-wings, and towards the hind-margins of the wings be- 

 neath. Another species, which inhabits the same localities 

 {Zemeros emesioides, Felder), has the wings hardly dentated, 

 and is marked with parallel alternate stripes of black and 

 fulvous, the latter being broader and paler on the under surface. 



The genus Dodona, Hewitson, includes several North Indian 

 species, measuring from an inch and a half to two inches in 

 expanse. The fore- wings are broad and rather short, with the 

 hind-margin not very oblique, and the hind-wings are very 

 long, being gradually produced into a large lobe at the anal 

 angle. They are brown above, with transverse tawny bands in 

 the male, much resembling very large Butterflies of the Lyc?enid 

 genus Aphnccus in colour ; the females are reddish-brown, with 

 a white oblique band on the fore-wings, beyond which the tip 

 is black. 



Dicallaneura, Butler, is another small but very pretty genus 

 containing a few species which are confined to the Papuan 

 islands. They are rather smaller than the species of Dodo?ia, 

 with the costa of the fore-wings more rounded, and the hind- 

 wings shorter, with a broad rounded lobe before the anal angle. 

 In one species, JD. pulchra (Gu^r.), from V/aigiou, the male is 

 black above, with a pale blue transverse band on the fore- 

 wings, and the female is reddish-tawny on the hind-wings and 

 at the base of the fore-wings ; outwardly, the fore-wings shade 

 into yellowish tawny, and more than the apical third of the 

 fore-wings is black. On the hind-wings is a sub-marginal row 

 of black spots and streaks.
