INTRODUCTORY PAPERS ON LBPIDOPTERA. 223 



brown, with a broad greenish white band on the front half of 

 the hind wings, and with yellow spots below this and on the 

 hind margins. The species of Neorinn are brown, and each 

 has a large black spot with a minute while pupil, and one or 

 more larger white spots above and below, near the tip of the 

 fore wings. N. Hilda has a transverse yellow band across 

 the fore wings, extending to the tip of the hind wings, and 

 large black eyes with white pupils and yellow rings at the tip 

 of both fore and hind wings beneath. The other two species 

 have short tails. N. Crishna is marked like A'. Hilda with 

 yellowish white ; and A^. Lowii has a large blotch of the same 

 colour at the apex of the hind wings, adjoining a smaller one 

 at the anal angle of the fore wings. Anadebis Himachala is 

 a North Indian butterfly, three inches across, marked above 

 and below with snbmarginal black eyes, pu pilled with white, and 

 surrounded with clay-colour. Oressinoma Typhla is a delicate 

 South American butterfly, measuring about two inches across 

 the wings; it is brown on the hind margins and smoky 

 towards the bases, the intermediate space being white; the 

 hind margins beneath are marked with an inner white and 

 outer yellow line, both of which are much indented on the 

 hind wings. 



Most of the smaller American Satyrin<B belong to the 

 genus Euptychia, which now contains over one hundred and 

 fifty species. They vary from one to two inches in expanse, 

 and are usually brown, though occasionally wholly or partly 

 white or blue ; their hind margins are marked with a variable 

 number of eyes, especially beneath, an eye at. the tip of the 

 fore wings, and those at the tip and anal angle of the hind 

 wings being generally the most conspicuous ; on the under 

 side there are generally two brown transverse lines towards 

 the base. Ragadia Crista, from the East Indian islands, is 

 remarkable for the brilliancy of the silver centres of the 

 marginal eyes on all the wings beneath. It is an obscure, 

 dull tawny insect, about two inches across, with darker 

 transverse stripes, broader and more numerous than in 

 Eiiplycliia ; the markings of the upper side are merely those 

 of the lower surface, seen through. The genus Maitiola or 

 Erebia (from which the South African species have been 

 separated under ihe new generic names of Leptoneura and 

 Pseudonympha) is too well known to need extended notice.
