transverse on the posterior), followed by a band of indistinct 

 grey spots, and by three sub-marginal linear bands of white ; 

 the inner band (which is most distinct on the anterior wing) 

 broken into spots. Anterior wing with two white spots within the 

 cell, the one near the base minute, the other broader ; a bifid 

 white spot on the middle of the inner-margin. 



Under side. — As above, except that it is paler, and that the 

 posterior wing has the base of the costal margin broadly white, 

 and a linear white spot below it. Expanse. r6 inch. 



This species was taken in Angola by Mr. Rogers, one of Mr. 

 Hewitson's collectors. The above description is copied from 

 the original. 



EXOTIC GENERA ALLIED TO LIMENITIS AND NEPTIS. 



Indo- and Austro-Malayan Sub-regions. 



The Eastern species referred to the genus Limenitis are 

 large and handsome Butterflies, sometimes measuring as much 

 as five inches across the wings. They are sometimes green or 

 greenish-brown, frequently with a transverse white band, but 

 many species have the greater portion of the wings reddish- 

 tawny, with a white band across the middle, or some large 

 white connected spots in the middle of the fore-wings. 



Lebadea ( Felder), another East Indian genus, much resembles 

 Limenitis, but the species are dull tawny and brown, with rows 

 of connected white and brown zig-zags across the wings ; the 

 tip of the fore-wings is generally whitish. They measure rather 

 less than three inches in expanse. 



Pandita (Moore) is another small genus, including a few 

 species found in the Malay Peninsula and the neighbouring 

 islands. They measure two inches, or a little more, across the 

 wings, which are broad and rather short, with the hind-margins 

 of the fore-wings not concave. The wings are fulvous, more
