Indian and Austro-Malayan Regions. 



The species of Dolescliallia, Felder, measure three or four 

 inches across the wings, but are, on an average, smaller than 

 KaUima. The wings are narrower, the fore-wings being 

 slightly produced at the apex, but not pointed or falcate, and 

 the hind-margin is slightly and regularly concave. The hind- 

 wings are rather long, with the hind-margin gradually curved, 

 and are produced into a short obtuse tooth at the anal angle. 

 They are reddish or tawny at the base, with more or less of 

 the hind-margins, and the apical region of the fore-wings, black. 

 They have no transparent spots, but generally well-marked eyes 

 on the under surface ; and the leaf-like colouring is not more 

 pronounced than in many other genera of Nymphalidce. 



There are several species, the genus ranging from India to 

 Australia.

This is a small genus of Tropical American Butterflies, 

 resembling Vanessa, but belonging to the sub-group with naked 

 eyes; and differing from all the allied genera in having the 

 first branch of the sub-costal nervure more or less united with 

 the costal. The wings are rather short and broad, with open 

 wing-cells, and there is a short tail at the outer lower angle of 

 the hind-wings. Only about four species are known, but they 

 are very common insects; and Bates remarks: "The species 

 have the habits and mode of flight of the Vanessa and Junonicz, 

 and are found only in open, weedy, and bushy places, chiefly 

 in the neighbourhood of towns." 



The larvas are clothed with long, soft, diverging hair on the
