INTRODUCTORY PAPERS ON LEPIDOPTERA. 243 



Coeuotiyvipha is replaced in Australia by Hi/pocysta, which 

 resembles it in size and colouring, but has two eyes on the 

 hind wings, at least below; and occasionally on the fore 

 wings also. One species, H. Osyris, is brown, with the 

 centre of tlie wings filled with white instead of tawny, and a 

 very large black eye in a yellow ring, and bipupilled with 

 white at the anal angle. 



Eteona Tisiphone\s a South American butterfly, measuring 

 nearly two inches across. It is brown, with the centre of the 

 hind wings and sometimes part of the fore wings filled up 

 with straw-colour, divided by the nervures into spots ; the 

 under side is much paler, and the oval spots form a band 

 across both wings, giving the insect very much the appearance 

 of Archonias, a genus of Pierincs, under which it was 

 originally described. 



Lymanopoda contains some South American species, 

 about one and a half to two inches in expanse. The wings 

 are usually reddish brown, with a pale stripe or row of spots 

 across the hind wings beneath. Some species, however, are 

 whitish above ; and others have the pale stripe absent, and 

 the veins beneath black. 



Calisto includes a iev^r small species confined to the West 

 Indies and the adjacent parts of America. They are black or 

 brown above, sometimes tinged with reddish, and have a 

 large eye (sometimes bipupilled) at the tip of the fore wings 

 beneath, and a smaller one on the hind wings. This genus, 

 like the last, has the wings entire. 



Zipnetis, ihe last Old World genus of the family, has some 

 resemblance to the Eiymniina:. It contains two Indian 

 species. Z. Saitis is over two inches in expanse, brown 

 above, with a white transverse band across the fore wings, 

 and a submarginal band on tlie hind wings, dentated on the 

 outside, as is the hind margin itself; under side similar, but 

 with four eyes on the hind wings, the two largest being 

 inside, and separated by an interval ; one of them is 

 bipupilled. 



The three species of Sterou/a vary from one and a quarter 

 to two and a quarter inches in expanse. They are brown or 

 black insects, with the outer margins much indented, and 

 with a conspicuons indentation on the inner margin of the 

 hind wings, near the anal angle; the under side of the hind
