females, can always be distinguished from males of Ama- 

 thttsia, by the tufts of bristles in the discoidal cell of the 

 hind-wings. 



Genus Tenaeis, Hiibner. 

 1. Tenaris Diana, n. sp. 



c? . Form and size of the Papuan T. Selene, differs 

 above in the much broader zone to the ocellus, which is 

 black, with violet and white centre, iris of grayish ochra- 

 ceous, and zone as usual of bright ochreous. Below, it 

 difiFers in the greater expanse of white in the hind- wings, 

 and in the geminate character of the sub-anal ocellus, 

 which is more complete than in T. Domicilla, the two 

 ocelli being only united by the zone ; that nearest to the 

 anal angle is half the size of the other. 



Expanse of wings, 4 inches.

If Mr. Hewitson's view of the identity of the bulk of 

 the species in this genus were correct, the above would 

 be a step between T. 8elene and T. Dotnicilla, but surely 

 (if differences of ocellation and ground-colour are not 

 sufficient to distinguish the species) the differences of 

 contour in the various named forms are remarkable 

 enough to warrant their separation ; what resemblance, 

 for instance, is there between the form of the front-wing 

 in the males of T. Horsfieldii and the males of T. catops, 

 or between the males of T. 7nyops and T. Selene ? 



The T. Jaira of Hiibner is evidently a slight variety of 

 T. Selene; it has the same form and ocellation. 



2. Tenaris fulvida, n. sp. 



<? . Allied to T. catops, from which it may be at once 

 distinguished by the much broader apical and costal 

 brown margin of the front- wings, and by the well-defined 

 ochreous nebula from the base to the svib-anal ocellus of 

 the hind- wings ; it differs also in the gray tint at the base 

 of the front-wings and at the apex of the hind-wings, 

 and by the larger and blacker centre to the ocellus ; be- 

 low, by the whole apical area of the front- wings being 

 suffused with brown, and the whole interno-median area 

 with ochreous. 



Expanse of wings, 3| inches.
