branch being angulatcd at the place of junction, beyond which it is slightly curved, 

 HiNDWiNG subovate ; costal margin slightly arched ; outer margin scalloped ; the middle at 

 the extremity of the third branch of the median nervure being [usually] elongated into a tail ; 

 the space within the extremity of the first branch being deeply emarginate. Precostal nervure 

 very short, furcate at the tip. Costal nervure extending to about two-thirds of the length of 

 the costa. Subcostal nervure branching at a considerable distance from the base. Upper 

 disco-cellular short, curved, but rather longer than tiie space between the branches of the sub- 

 costal nervure. Lower disco-cellular longer than the upper, curved, uniting with the median 

 nervure close to the origin of the third branch, which is slightly curved, and extends to the 

 outside of the tail. Fokelf.GS of the male very minute, \\\q femur and tibia of equal length, 

 slightly hairy ; the tarsus longer than tlie tibia, very hairy and brusli-lil<e. Of the Jemale not 

 lunger than those of the male, cylindrical ; the tibia externally clotlied with a few hairs ; 

 the tarsus scarcely more than half the lengtli of tlie tibia, scaly, rather dilated, and obliquely 

 truncate at the tip, with a few very short rather thick spines nearly concealed by the scales. 

 Middle and hindlegs rather short, slender; tibia with a few very fine spines on the 

 underside ; tibial spurs rather long ; tarsus armed on the sides beneath with rows of fine spines, 

 claws elongated, curved, very acute, entire." ( IVestzvood, 1. c.) 



The species of Zophoessa are confined to the north and east of India, and are unknown 

 beyond Indian limits ; most of them are rare and local, and even those which have the widest 

 range appear to be only found in a few localities wide apart. In the Western Himalayas they 

 are found between 7,000 and 9,000 feet elevation ; but eastwards they inhabit the lower ranges ; 

 and in Tenasserim the only species that has yet been found was taken at scarcely i.ooo feet 

 above the sea. All of them have a submarginal series of blackish spots on the upperside of 

 the hindwing, and a submarginal series of prominent ocelli on the underside.
