is brown, with a narrower and shorter oblique white or buff band 
on the fore wings, and some white spots beyond ; and with a broad 
buff band on the outer half of the hind wings, marked towards the 
anal angle with a black eye with a white pupil. 
The East Indian species of Doleschallia expand about three 
inches, and are heavy-looking fulvous butterflies, either with 
broad black borders (D. Australis) or with the tip broadly black, 
and marked with a short oblique fulvous stripe, sometimes 
followed by a spot (D. Bisaltide and Polibete). The under side is 
varied with different shades of reddish brown, and a dark leaf- 
stalk shade resembling that of Kalluma runs from the middle of 
the costa of the fore wings to the short tail on the hind wings. 
Outside this, on the hind wings, are two dark eyes with black and 
blue pupils and yellow rings, which are sometimes represented by 
black dots above; towards the inner margin of the fore wings are 
some indistinct eyes. The African D. Cymodoce is brown, blue 
at the base, with a large eye near the anal angle of the hind wings 
both above and below. The little D. Hurodoce, from Madagascar, 
more resembles a species of Precis in size and colour, though in 
shape it agrees with the other species of Doleschallia, except that 
the tip of the fore wings is rather more hooked and the tail of 
the hind wings longer. It is dark brown, with a curved fulvous 
band on the fore wings running from the costa beyond the cell to 
the inner margin, a little before the anal angle; the outer third of 
the hind wings is fulvous, with two dark submarginal waved lines. 
The under side is brown, varied with tawny; the space beyond the 
dark midrib (which is much lighter on the hind wings) is marked 
by a row of inconspicuous white dots, evidently representing a 
row of eyes. 
The next genus, Anartia, contains four South American 
species closely resembling Vanessa in appearance and _ habits. 
They generally expand about two inches, and the wings are 
slightly dentated and angulated, and the hind wings have a slight 
projection at the outer angle, which makes them appear more or 
less square. A. Jatrophe is buff, with more or less conspicuous 
brown lines, and is more or less suffused with brown towards the 
base, and with brown and yellowish towards the margins. 
A. Amalthea is dark brown, with a broad scarlet band on all the 
wings, commencing with two.broken stripes in the cell of the fore 
wings. ‘There is an oblique band of connected white spots beyond |
