386 LYCANIDA. SUASA. 
species of Zajuria, Moore, and as neither tail reaches half an inch in length, I place the 
genus next following Zajuria. The sex of the type species is apparently unknown, and no 
secondary sexual characters have been described as appertainingto it. The butterfly isa 
very large one, as its name implies, Mr. Distant’s figure of it measuring 2° inches in expanse of 
wings. It is blue on the upperside, with the usual broad costal and outer black margins ; 
underside brown, the hindwing marked with the two usual anal black spots. 
Gonus 148.—SUASA, nov. (Prare XXVIII). 
Of small size. ForEWING, short, broad; costa slightly arched at base, thence nearly 
straight to apex, afex rounded, outer margin cotivex, inner margin straight ; costal nervure 
ending a little before the apex of the discoidal cell, sinuous ; first subcostal nervule close to its 
base slightly bowed upwards towards the costal nervure, but quite free from that nervure ; second 
subcostal straight, its base about midway between the bases of the first subcostal and upper 
discoidal nervules ; t#2ra@ subcostal very short, arising much nearer to the apex of the wing 
than to that of the cell; mzddle disco-cellular nervule given off from the upper discoidal soon 
after the origin of the latter, straight, slightly outwardly oblique; /ower disco-cellular rather 
longer than the middle disco-cellular, straight, upright; second median nervule given off a 
short distance before the lower end of the cell ; submedian mervure straight. HINDWING, 
broad, somewhat lengthened, furnished with two ¢ai/s, a long one at the termination of the 
submedian nervure, and a short one about half the length of the other, at the termination 
of the first median nervule; a very small anal lobe; costal nervure arched at base, thence 
straight to apex ; first subcostal nervule given off some distance before the apex of the cell ; 
upper disco-cellular nervule slightly concave, outwardly oblique, Jower disco-cellular almost 
upright, nearly straight ; second median nervule given off immediately before the lower end 
of the cell ; submedian nervure straight ; izternal nervure remarkably long, rather sinuous. 
Male without secondary sexual characters. Type, A/yrina lisides, Hewitson. 
As far as I am aware, Swasa is confined to the type species, S. déstdes, Hewitson. Quite 
recently Mr. Moore placed it inthe genus Ch/iaria, but it differs from all the species of that 
genus in having a third subcostal nervule to the forewing, and the internal nervure of the hind- 
wing much longer ; the inner tail also being twice as long as the outer one is a feature nct found 
in Chliaria, ‘he structure of Swasa is unusual from the shortness of the third subcostal nervule 
to the forewing, and the great length of the internal nervure to the hindwing.

DESCRIPTION: ‘‘MALE. UPPERSIDE, doth wings brown. Forewing with the middle 
rufous, the base irrorated with blue. Aéxdwing cerulean blue, with two tails, the costal 
margin and apex broadly brown ; the caudal spot, the outer margin, and base of the tails 
black. Cilia and ¢ai/s white. UNDERSIDE, doth wings white. Sorewing witha large 
quadrate spot on the costal margin beyond the middle, a line below it, the outer margin, 
and a submarginal line rufous. Aindwing with a rufous spot before the middle, a spot 
near the apex, and two submarginal bands of linear spots ; the caudal spot, the lobe, and a 
spot between them (which are dotted with pale blue), the base of the tails, and the outer 
margin, all black.” (Afewitson,l.c.) “ FEMALE. UPPERSIDE, forewing with a similar 
but broader reddish patch than in the male, which is confined more to the middle, [no blue 
irroration at the base]. Hindwing brown, anal area broadly white-speckled, and with three 
prominent black anal marginal spots. UNDERSIDE, 40/2 wings similarly marked to the 
male, excepting that there is no subbasal black spot ” [on the Aindwing]. (ALoore, |. c.)
