The next genus, Afaneca, mihi, is monotypic, and occurs only in Sikkim. It differs 
from Camzena in possessing no secondary sexual characters on the forewing in the male, but 
has a glandular patch of modified scales on the hindwing in the usual position. It is dull 
slatey-blue on the upperside in both sexes, with the usual broad outer black margins, the under- 
side is bluish-white, with a narrow discal broken lunular black line across both wings. Both 
sexes have three subcostal nervules to the forewing. 
The next genus, Jofa, mihi, is also monotypic. The single species it contains is unique, in 
that its two tails spring from the apices of the first and second median nervules of the 
hindwing instead of from the submedian nervure and first median nervule. So far the species 
has only been found in Bhutan and Assam. It is very rich ultramarine blue on the 
upperside, with the usual black outer margins, the underside being most unusually marked, 
as will be seen by a reference to the figure. The male has no secondary sexual characters, 
and both sexes possess three subcostal nervules to the forewing. 
Of all the Indian genera, Afhueus, Hiibner, has given me the greatest trouble and 
leaves my hands in the least satisfactory condition. Much of this difficulty is due to 
the considerable extent of the sexual dimorphism which obtains in it, the full amount 
of which awaits investigation by local observers. The genus is very ordinary as far as 
structure goes ; it has three subcostal nervules to the forewing, the upper discoidal and middle 
disco-cellular nervules have a common origin (this is perhaps rather an unusual character), and the 
male has no secondary sexual characters. The genus is very wide-spread, occurring plentifully 
in Africa, in Asia Minor and Persia, almost throughout India, even in the desert tracts, 
in Ceylon, the Andaman Isles, Burma, and the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago. India 
may be considered to be its head-quarters, as about thirty species have been recorded from 
that region. The males are almost always glossed with iridescent blue on the upperside, 
this coloration never appearing in the females. Any species of the genus can at a glance 
be recognised as belonging to it, from the quite unique style of markings. These consist of 
broad bands (usually) on the underside of both wings, very often marked with silver. 
Tajuria, Moore, is probably a large genus and probably also has a wide range, but 
it has been constituted so lately that I can give neither fact with accuracy. The neuration 
is very ordinary; the length of the third subcostal nervule of the forewing is variable, being 
much longer in some species than in others ; both sexes have three subcostal nervules only 
to the forewing ; the middle disco-cellular nervule is shorter than the lower ; and, except in one 
species, the males have no secondary sexual characters, All the species are of some shade 
of blue or purple on the upperside, richer and brighter in the males than in the females. 
Tujuria occurs with certainty almost throughout the Indo-Malayan region. 
The next genus, Sasa, mihi, is probably larger than is at present known to the writer ; 
up to this but a single species has been placed init. The neuration of the type species 
is unusual, the third subcostal nervule of the forewing being very short, while the internal 
nervure of the hindwing is very long. The forewing has three subcostal nervules only in 
both sexes. .S. /ésides, Hewitson, is quite a small butterfly, but it has the inner tail longer 
than in any genus of the Zecla group. The male is black on the upperside, with an orange 
discal patch, the base of the wing blue, as is also the greater portion of the hindwing. The 
female is sooty-brown on the upperside, the anal region of the hindwing white, bearing two 
large round black spots. The species is known from Assam and Burma only. 
The three genera which follow have two subcostal nervules to the forewing only in both 
sexes Zhamala, Moore, contains two described species, which are probably really one, occur- 
ring in Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. The male has a small streak 
of modified scales along the submedian nervure towards the base of the forewing on the 
underside. The tails of the female are longer than those of the male, especially the outer 
one, The male is brilliant scarlet on the upperside, with the costa, apex, and outer margin 
of the forewing broadly black ; the female has the disc of the forewing dull red, the anal 
half of the hindwing white, the rest of the wing black,
