wings, and having streaks which radiate from the base between 

 the nervures of the hind-wings, in the same way as in Tirumala, 

 and other genera of green Danaintz. The lower part of the 

 hind-margin is broadly black, and marked with a row of large 

 red spots. The hind-margin of the fore-wings is slightly con- 

 cave, and that of the hind-wings is dentated and very slightly 

 angulated in the middle. 



Calinagci) Moore, is a genus which was formerly regarded 

 as allied to Parnassius, but is now placed near Hypolimnas 

 It is brown, with broad dull white stripes radiating from the 

 base, beyond which are larger spots, and then one or two 

 irregular rows of spots between these and the hind-margin ; 

 the thorax is red, and the antennae unusually short. The 

 wings are almost entire. The insect measures about three 

 inches in expanse, and is of a very peculiar form, the costa of 

 the fore-wings being long, but the hind-margin is so oblique 

 that the hind-wings, which are very long, and slightly angu- 

 lated in the middle of the hind-margin, project far beyond the 

 hinder angle of the lore-wings. The few known species are 

 found in Northern India at a considerable elevation. 



Another curious genus is Eunpus, Doubl., the type of 

 which, E. halitherseS) Doubl. and Hew., is a common North 

 Indian species, about two inches in expanse. It is black, 

 with the base spotted with white on the fore-wings, and 

 streaked with white on the hind-wings, having also two rows 

 of white sub-marginal spots. The hind-margin of the fore- 

 wings is slightly concave below the middle, and the hind-wings 

 are slightly angulated, with a deep concavity between the 

 tooth at the angle, and the rather projecting anal angle. The 

 female, which differs so much from the male that it was origi- 

 nally described by Mr. Moore as generically distinct, under 

 the name of Hestina isa, is larger, and has longer and more 

 rounded wings. It is brown, with a broad oblique white
