LYCANID%. HYPOLYCAINA, 389 
7. miniata appears to be a very rare species. Mr. Limborg obtained it in Upper 
Tenasserim, Dr. Anderson captured a pair at Mergui in December, and there is a single male 
in the Phayre Museum, Rangoon, taken by Major C. H. E. Adamson at Bhamo, Upper 
Burma, in June, 1887, which are the only specimens known to me. Lieutenant E. Y, Watson, 
records it from Beeling in Lower Burma as rare, and Major Adamson states that he caught 
*“numerous males and three females in the Moulmein District in April, and one in October.” 
Figure 212 shews both sides of a male. and figure 213 both sides of a female of this 
species from the Mergui Archipelago, in the cellection of the Indian Museum, Calcutta.

“MALE, FOREWING, short, broad, arched at the base, posterior margén nearly as long 
as the costal margin ; a large glandular patch of scales extending broadly across the end of 
the cell on the upperside [in H. evy/us, Godart, only]; with four sudcostal nervules, the first 
emitted at two-fifths, secozd at one-fourth, and ¢kird from close before the end of the cell; 
disco-cellular nervule slender, straight ; [lower] discotdal nervule frem its middle ; discotdal cell 
extending to more than half length of the wing ; frst median nervule emitted at nearly one- 
third, and second from near the end of the cell; submedéan nervure straight. HINDWING, 
short, proad, somewhat produced hindwards ; axa/ /obe prominent; with a slender fez from 
the end of first median nervule, and another from the submedian nervure ; costal nervure: 
much arched at the base ; first subcostal nervule emitted at one-third before the end of the 
cell; «dzscoidal cell broad, and extending to half length of the wing ; disco-cellular nervule 
recurved ; discoidal nervule from its middle ; first median nervule emitted at nearly one-half, 
and second from near the end of the cell ; sebmecian nervure straight ; zvternal nervure recurved. 
Palpi porrect, second joint stout, third joint very long, of nearly the same length as the 
second ; /egs slender ; anterne with a gradually thickened club.” FEMALE of GZ. erylzs without 
the male secondary sexual character described above, the wings broader. ‘‘ Type, A. tmolus,” 
Felder, from the Philippines. (A/vore, 1. c.) 
In ZH. erylus, Godart, the costa of the forewing is slightly arched at the base, thence 
straight to the apex, which is acute ; the outer margin at first convex, then straight, inner angle 
rather acute, inner margin straight ; the costal nervure ends opposite the apex of the cell, 
the first subcostal nervule is slightly bent upwards towards the costal nervure near its base 3 
the base of the second subcostal nervule is about one-half the distance from the base of the first 
subcostal that it is from the base of the upper discoidal ; the middle disco-cellular nervule 
originates from the upper discoidal very near its base, almost straight ; lower disco-cellular 
also straight, slightly longer than the middle disco-cellular ; the second median nervule given 
off a short distance before the lower end of the cell. In the hindwing the costa is much 
arched at base, thence straight to the apex, which is rounded; the outer margin straight, 
angled below the second median nervule, the abdominal margin convex, rather deeply exca- 
vated below the termination of the internal nervure; two thread-like tails of about equal 
length from the terminations of the submedian nervure and first median nervule.; a moderate- 
sized anal lobe ; disco-cellular nervules almost in one straight line, of equal length, outwardly 
oblique ; the second median nervule given off immediately before the lower end of the cell . 
internal nervure rather long, recurved. The eyes are hairy. 
Mr. Hewitson in his ‘‘ Diurnal Lepidoptera” adopted Felder’s genus Hyfolycena, but made 
it more comprehensive, including in it twenty-nine species, of which fourteen are African. Mr.

“ The figure of the female of this Species was drawn from an imperfect specimen, and does not represent 
correctly the spots of the forewing, which [have endeavoured to rectify in the description.” (/7ew7tson, |. c.)
