INTRODUCTt)RY PAPERS ON LKPIDOPTERA. '29 



which is Tropical American, are East Indian. The hind, 

 wing cells of the imago are open (which separates them from 

 the Brassolince and Safyriiue), and the larvae of many of the 

 genera have forked tails, thus approaching the Sati/rincB and 

 BrasfiolincB on one side, and some of the true NymphalincB — 

 such as Apatura — on the other. We will now consider the 

 principal genera of the Morph/nce separately. 



Aniaihusia Phidippus is a brown Javanese butterfly, four 

 inches across, with rather pointed fore wings, and with the 

 hind wings produced into a short and very broad tail ; 

 beneath, the hind wings have two large brown eyes dusted 

 with yellow, with white pupils marked below with black, and 

 enclosed in yellow and black rings; each angle of the broad 

 tail is marked above and below with a black spot, bordered 

 outside by a white crescent. It flies at dusk, like some of 

 the Satyriine and BrassolincB, A i&yf allied species are found 

 in North India, Java, and Sumatra. 



The species of Zeuxidia also come from the Malay and 

 Philippine islands. Most of the species are dark brown, 

 banded and spotted with blue on the fore wings and near the 

 margins of the hind wings ; the under side is brown, with a 

 transverse darker line across all the wings, and with two 

 small eyes on the hind wings. The wings of Z. Luxerii are 

 more pointed than in Tltauinantias (mentioned below), but 

 are not hooked, as in Kal/ima, a genus of Nymphalince, to 

 which it has some resemblance; and the hind wings are 

 produced into a short, pointed tail, marked with white below. 

 Z. Atirelius, Cram., fiom Sumatra, is one of the largest Old 

 World species of the group : it is six inches in expanse, 

 chestnut-brown above, aud darker towards the margins, which 

 are marked with rows of large white spots ; the under side is 

 striped with white and pale brown. 



The species of Discophora are brown, with the fore wings 

 more or less pointed, and the hind wings dentated, and 

 generally angulated ; there is a large silky patch of scales on 

 the hind wings of the males; the fore wings have two or 

 three rows of blue spots towards the hind margins, or are 

 banded and spotted with tawny, and the hind wings are 

 either plain or spoiled with tawny; there are also two small 

 eyes on the under side of the hind wings. This genus is met 

 with from North India to Timor and Gilolo.
