•29Q THE ENTcfMOLOGlSr. 



Enispe is confined lo continental India. The species 

 resemble large Fritillaiies, being tawny, with brown borders, 

 and broad zigzag brown markings on all the wings; the 

 hind wings have two very small eyes beneath. The genera 

 of ]Symphali)i(B, which it most resembles, are Cirrochroa and 

 CytitJiia ; from the latter it may be superficially distinguished 

 by its rounded hind wings, and I'rom the former by the 

 heaviness of the dark markings above, and the absence of a 

 silvery line and of a row of small spots beneath, which are 

 found in most Cirrochroa. 



The species of Tenaris are found as far west as Java, and 

 east to Otaheite, but are most numerous in the Papuan 

 Islands. The genus is one of the most unmistakable among 

 butterflies. The species average about four inches in expanse, 

 and are brown, more or less mingled with white ; the hind 

 wings have two large black eyes enclosed in broad, yellow, 

 and narrower brown outer rings, containing a small while 

 pupil surmounted by a bluish crescent. The species differ 

 chiefly in the amount of while on the wings and the distinct- 

 ness of the eyes above. 



The species of Clerome resemble the SaiyrincB more than 

 any other butterflies of this group. They are two or three 

 inches in expanse ; several are tawny-brown above, and are 

 distinguished by their under sides. C. Eumeus has a more 

 distinct tawny band across the fore wings above, and a row 

 of white spots across all the wings beneath ; C. ArcesUaus 

 has a row of small yellow dots beneath ; and C. Pliaoti and 

 Stomphace have two large eyes on the hind wings beneath ; 

 the former has a narrow yellow stripe, and the latter a broad 

 white one on the fore wings beneath. C. Jauniila, from 

 Malacca, is a larger species : fore wings pale brown ; hind 

 wings buflf; beneath dirty white, with broad zigzag black 

 lines; the inner margin of the hind wings is rich fulvous, 

 especially below. 



Tliaumdiilias, the last of the Old World genera of 

 iMorphin(e, also comes nearest to the American genus 

 Morpho in size and beauty, the species measuring from 

 four to six inches across the wings. The smaller species, 

 T. Odana, Diores, &c., are dark brown, with suffused bluish 

 purple markings, sometimes extending over a great part of 

 ihe wing, and sometimes occupying only a limited portion
