The genus Ogyris. 273 



equi-distant from each other and the upper angle of cell, 11 short, 

 12 short never as long as the cell. Secondaries broad, sometimes 

 with a short broad spatulate tail at the end of vein 2, sometimes 

 with a short tail at end of vein 1 b, or with termen crenulate — $ 

 sometimes with a short tail at the end of vein 4, with two internal 

 veins — vein 2 rising from just below the middle of the cell, 3 from 

 near the lower angle, 4 from the lower angle, 5 from the middle of 

 the discocellulars, G from the upper angle of cell. Palpi curved, 

 with middle segment long, end segment very short and slightly 

 deflexed. 



The genus was created for the reception of two species 

 0. abrota, D. W. and H., and 0. idmo, Hew., the diagnosis 

 being evidently made from the former species. It is 

 nearly related both in structure and pattern of wings to 

 the genus Arhnpala, Feld.; both genera are arboreal, rarely 

 coming down to the ground, and when disturbed from 

 their resting place, they will frequently return to it 

 after the lapse of a little time ; this, however, is a habit 

 well known to occur in other genera also. 



Ogyris Waterhouseri, spec. nov. 



<-£. Both wings very dull brownish -purple, almost greasy look- 

 ing. Primaries with a broad even brown costa and a broad termen 

 likewise of even width. Secondaries with a broad dark brown costa, 

 and a broad brown termen of uniform width. Fringes white broadly 

 intersected with brown at the veins. Under-side. Primaries brown, 

 with three increasing cell spots, the first two divided by an obscure 

 bluish-white line, beyond the third a short broad oblique pale grey 

 stripe, beyond which is the catenulated, very irregular, dark brown 

 stripe, slightly curved extending from the costa to very near the 

 termen at vein 2 ; the apical area up to this stripe is densety 

 irrorated with whitish-grey fine scales. Secondaries, brown, finely 

 irrorated with brownish-grey, the three basal spots are confluent, 

 in the median row of three spots the two upper ones touch, the 

 second occupying the central part of the cell is large, the third on 

 the inner margin is isolated, the third row is very irregular, first 

 spot on the costa subreniform, the second spot very large, touching 

 the exterior edge of spot 1, <-shaped on its exterior margin, a large 

 spot beyond the cell touching the inner edge of spot 2, the fourth 

 spot angled with the third and receding inwards, the fifth spot 

 again angled internally confluent with spot 4, the posterior row of 

 four spots touches the exterior edge of the second large spot in the
