quotes, show that it is a species pecuh"ar to the Philippine 

 Islands, being generally known by the name of /. enialthioti, 

 Hubner. The male differs from /. agefior and its allies in 

 having the black sub-marginal spots on the hind-wings broadly 

 surrounded with red ; the female is black, veined with grey, 

 with a transverse red band, varied with white, towards the 

 base of the wings. 



The larva of /. meuinoii (Cramer) is daik green and 

 smooth, with the thoracic segments dilated. There is a green 

 or buff band (the first marked with a black spot on each 

 side) before and behind the inflation; an oblique white band 

 just beyond the middle, and a transverse one between this 

 and the extremity of the body. The pupa is green, with 

 three yellow lines on the abdomen ; the head is produced 

 and bifid. 



The food plant is not recorded. 



[lxv. d., pt.] Saunia, Moore. This is another small genus, 

 which is almost confined to India, China, and Japan. The 

 type is S. protenor (Cramer), one of the commonest and most 

 widely-distributed species ; it expands from four to six inches 

 across the wings. The fore-wings are shaped as in Iliades, 

 but the hind-wings are longer, not tailed, and the hind-margin 

 regularly waved. The wings are blue-black, the fore-wings 

 veined with black, and the hind-wings have a black spot towards 

 the anal angle, surrounded with reddish. The female, which is 

 much larger than the male, has browner fore-wings, and the 

 hind-wings have a large red patch at the anal angle, enclosing 

 a black spot ; and a second red ring below it. In the male, 

 these markings appear on the under side only.

 P. rhetcnor (Westwood), the type of this genus, much resembles 

 Saunia protenor (Cramer). It measures four inches across the 

 wings, which are of a dark brown, the fore-wings striated with
