Larva tapering in front, with a dorso-lateral line, and below this oblirpie bauds; 

 horn figured by Butler as being very long and filiform, by Semper and by Moore 

 as being rather stout and shorter than two segments : are, perhaps, Butler's figures 

 representations of masiir/e»si-i instead of ////fis ? 



Ih/i. North Western India (Icnown as far south as Mhow) to Japan, the 

 Philippines and Java. 



Two speries. 



Kirby proposed, without giving a definition, the name (rio'dca in 188U to 

 replace the likewise nondescript name " Lophura, Herr Schiiff. nom. preocc," and 

 enumerated under it three African and one Indian species. Herrich-Schiiifer 

 mentioned the name 7vOjiV«</w— corrupted from Boisduval's nondescript name 

 Loj)/<i/ron— only in connection with his Lophura ^ini/iia from East Africa. The 

 type of the nondescript name of 1880 is, therefore, ^niih/a for all those who, like 

 Mr. Kirby, accept nondescript names as valid, and not /n/ns, as given by Kirby in 

 his Catalogue. 



For ns nondescript names have no standing ; Giirclai of lS8ti is not valid, 

 while Gurelca of 1892 being said to replace Lophura as defined by Boisdnval 

 in 1870 (type : hijas) is the first not preoccupied defined term for the present Indian 

 genns, and, therefore, the correct name.
