LYC/ENIDA, LOGANIA. 31 
HABITAT : Tenasserim Valley, Mergui, Malacca, Borneo. 
EXPANSE : °83 to I’00 inch. 
DESCRIPTION : ‘* MALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings dark brown. UNDERSIDE, doth wings 
white, speckled with pale brown. Forewing with six black spots close to the outer margin. 
Hindwing with five.” (Druce,1. c.) | With reference to the last remark, Mr. Distant notes : 
“‘ These spots would be more correctly described as marginal, and are scarcely reducible to the 
numbers given.” FEMALE, ‘‘ UPPERSIDE, doth wings dark violet-brown. Cilia white between 
the veins. Yorewing with a minute white dot at the end of the veins on the costa. UNDERSIDE, 
both wings purplish-white, crossed by a few ochreous-brown short strigee, and with a thicker 
streak across the middle and end of the cell, and in a zig-zag submarginal series ; the outer 
marginal border ochreous-brown. Forewing with a marginal series of black spots. Hindwing 
with a lunular streak, and a black costal spot. Body, antenne, and legs above brown; falfi, 
legs, and abdomen beneath white.’ (Moore, 1.c.) MALE agrees with the female in markings, 
but has the forewing more elongated, the costa straighter, the apex more acute. 
Mr. Druce’s description of this species is quite inadequate, but as far as it goes it agrees 
with the species which Mr. Moore described as Zogania substrigosa. The type of the latter 
is in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, and was taken by Dr. J. Anderson on Kisseraing Island 
in the Mergui Archipelago on Ist January, 1882. The figure is taken from this specimen, 
which is a female, and shows both sides. I should not have ventured to put F. zzvalis and Z, 
substrigosa together, had not Mr. Doherty assured me that they are one and the same species, 
he having taken it in large numbers both in S.-E. Borneo and Burma, and at once recognised 
the identity of the specimens. He notes that it ‘‘obviously mimics Veopithecops zalmora, 
Butler, from which it is indistinguishable when flying.” 
In the next subgroup the legs are short. It contains the bulk of the Indian Zycenide 
in number both of genera and of species. This subgroup can be again divided by the 
structure of the legs, a single genus, Zogania, Distant, which I place first, is unique in 
having the apex of the tibia of each leg swollen, while in every other genus of the family 
it is of uniform thickness throughout. It is very remarkable that it was only so lately 
as 1884 that the first species of the genus should have been described, as it is probable 
that this genus contains many species, which have a wide range in the Malay Peninsula and 
Archipelago. All the described species are small, and plainly coloured, they probably have 
a very weak flight, and escape the notice of the butterfly collector by their moth-like appear- 
ance. The males of Zogania have no secondary sexual characters. The position of the genus 
is certainly very close to the three genera which precede it, as it kas the same extraordinarily 
formed prehensores in the male, and a very similar egg, as Mr. Doherty informs me.

“ FOREWING, irregularly subtriangular, costal margin convex, the afex acutely produced, 
outer margin deeply and concavely sinuate, tuner margin nearly straight; costal nervure 
extending tonear the middle of the costal margin, jirs¢ subcostal nervule emitted a little 
beyond the middle of the cell, second midway between the base of the first and the apex 
of the cell; third and fourth bifurcating at about two-thirds the distance from the end of 
the cell and the apex of the wing; bases of the third and second median nervules one-third 
nearer together than the bases of the second and first. HINDWING, elongate, the costal margin 
nearly straight, the fosterior margin deeply sinuate, first subcostal nervule emitted a little 
before the end of thecell. Pali very long, hirsute, the apical joint slender, but clothed 
with adpressed hairs. [Améenne about half the length of the costa of the forewing, with a 
very slightly and gradually thickened club]. Legs with the apices of the tibize more or less 
globosely incrassated, the femora with a few slender spines.” 
‘‘This pecular genus, which possesses superficially a Heterocerous appearance, is pro- 
bably found throughout the Malay Peninsula.” (Distant, 1, c.) 
In the forewing, the costa is regularly and evenly arched from the base to the apex, 
the apex is acuminate, the outer margin is scalloped but below the apex emarginated, then very
