968 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Aurivillius, however (Vet. Akad. Hand. (2) xix. (5) p. 148), 
figures a species from Amboina allied to A. frithi, Moore, from a 
specimen still existing in the Swedish museum, as the type; but 
T do not think this should set aside the original reference to 
Petiver, and the locality given, especially as Linné clearly 
indicates that he had more than one species before him when 
drawing up his detailed description in the ‘Museum Ulrice.’ 
Antherea simplicia, Maass. & Weym., erroneously reputed to 
be an Indian species, was afterwards placed by the authors them- 
selves as a synonym of A. dione. 
Antherea hiibneri, Kirb. 
Antherea hiibneri, Kirb., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1877, p. 20. 
Except in colour, this species appears to be most nearly allied 
to A. menippe, Westw. 
The following species, which appear in certain lists, have 
never been described, and are to be expunged from our lists :— 
A, mezankooria, A. nebulosa, and Loepa swalica. 
Genus Gynanisa, Walk. 
Gynanisa isis, Westw. 
This species, probably from West Africa, is unique in the 
Museum of Science and Art at Dublin. It is usually considered 
to be a variety of the common South African G. maia, Klug, but 
the latter insect varies very little, and I have never seen a speci- 
men at all resembling G. isis. Westwood’s figure of the latter 
Species is very characteristic (one of the best figures of moths in 
Jardine’s ‘ Naturalist’s Library’); and I am glad to take the pre- 
sent opportunity of publishing a detailed description of the original 
specimen, which I drew up some time ago :— 
Exp. al., 144 millim. 
Female.—Head and antenne brown, a white spot beneath the scape of 
each antenna; thorax reddish brown, a narrow white stripe in front of the 
prothorax, and a broader one behind; abdomen yellowish grey. Front legs 
very short and shaggy, brown above and whitish beneath; the base of the 
tibiz and the first joint of the tarsi also white. The wings pale grey, very 
coarsely scaled and speckled with brownish, a brown W-shaped band half- 
way between the base and the eye, which is black, irregularly oval, and its 
outer half filled with an irregular triangular space; beyond this run two 
oblique stripes from the costa to the inner margin, the first reddish brown, 
nearly straight, just beyond the eye, and the second dark brown, festooned ; 
beyond this there are two broader suffused stripes before the hind margin, 
the innermost narrowest and least distinct; the outermost darker, broader, 
and slightly festooned; a dark festooned line precedes the dentated hind 
margin. Hind wings pink towards the base, followed by a very large eye 
formed of a black pupil, marked with bluish white towards its lower edge, 
surrounded with concentric rings of yellowish, black, buff, pinkish white, 
rusty red, and brown, the basal portion of the brown ring paler; outside this 
is arather broad buff submarginal band, and then a brown white-speckled 
space extending to the hind margin. Under surface of both wings whitish 
grey, speckled with brown towards the margins; fore wings with the eye as
