ORINOMA. NEORINA. 369 



The type of tliis genus is a remarkable butterfly from Nepaul and Sylhet, wliich has very little of tl)e general ajipearance of one of 

 the SatyridiB, arising from the elongated form of its wings, and tlieir peculiar style of colovu'ing ; the imder side resembling the upper, 

 so that there is no trace of the ocellated markings which are so common throughout the family : the streaks of pale brimstone colour 

 running between the veins being repeatedly interrupted by the brown ground colour of the wing. The insect, consequently, has much 

 more the aspect of some of the Danaida; or Pierida3 ; the hairy eyes, however, and the arrangement of tlio veins of the wings, 

 agreeing almost identically with the next described genus, at once indicate its affinity with the present famih-.

Genus XIII. NEORINA. 



Neorina We.sticood MS. 



Body robust; wings large, subtriangular ; fore wings with a broad oblique pale fascia, each with a large ocellus near 

 the outer aug-le beneath. 



Head large, hairy, not tufted in front. 



Antennae not more than two fifths of the length of the fore wings, very slender, much curved downwards at the 



tip ; joints scarcely distinct ; terminated by an elongated, very slender, and gradually formed club. 

 Labial Palpi broad, much compressed, very hairy in front, and with a small tuft of hairs in the middle of the 

 back of the middle joint ; terminal joint veiy small, slender, and oval, obliquely porrected, but scarcely reaching 

 to the level of the top of the eyes. 



Thorax robust, oval, hairy. 



Fore Wings large, subtriangular. Fore margin much arched ; apical angle slightly rounded. Apical margin 

 five ninths of the length of the anterior, nearly straight, and very slightly scalloped ; inner angle rounded. 

 Inner margin nearly straight in both sexes, considerably longer than the apical. Costal vein but slightly 

 swollen at the base, and extending only to the middle of the costa. Postcostal vein with its branches free ; 

 the first and second arising close together before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell, and uniting with 

 the costa far beyond the extremity of the costal vein ; third branch arising half way between the cell and the 

 tip ; fourth branch arising at a little distance beyond the third, extending to the tip of the wing ; the terminal 

 part of the vein extending below the tip. Upper disco-cellular vein very short and oblique, arising at about 

 tvfo fifths of the length of the wing (at the tip of the little dark l)ro\vn tooth on the inside of the fulvous bar, 

 which in fact forms the boundary of the discoidal cell) : middle disco-cellular rather longer, transverse : outer 

 disco-cellular much longer, more oblique, and slightly curved ; vtniting with the third branch of the median 

 vein ; closing the discoidal cell almost in a right angle ; this third branch being angulated at the point of 

 junction, which is at the same distance from the origin of the third branch as between the first and second 

 branches. 

 Hind Wings nearly semicircular; the outer angle roimded. Costal margin much arched. Outer margin slightly 

 scalloped. The veins arranged as in Orinoma. The discoidal cell not extending more than two fifths of the 

 length of the wing, and closed by a slightly curved outer disco-cellular vein, united to the median vein at tlie 

 origin of its third branch. 

 Fore Legs of the male small, moderately feathered ; the divisions being of nearly equal length and thickness. 

 Four Hind Legs long and strong, scaly, with very few hairs. Tibia nearly as long as the femur, with two rows 

 of small spines beneath ; tibial spurs long and very acute. Tarsus with several rows of short spines beneath 

 and at the sides. Ungues strong, acute, simple, very much curved. Puronychia minute, bifid. 



Abdomen elongate, rather narroAv. 



The fine insect which is the type of this genus is, like the last described, a native of the East Indies, and might easily, from its 

 general appearance and colouring, be mistaken for a species of Opsiphanes, or some of the allied genera of Morphida; ; its hairy palpi, 

 however, and the arrangement of the veins of the wings, as well as their ocellated character, refer the insect to the present family, from 

 most of which it is known by the slightly swollen base of the veins of the fore wings, large size, and peculiar style of the markings. 

 On the under side the wings are rather paler brown, oacli marked near tlic outer angle with a large ocellus, that in the fore wings
