130 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



and the hind- wings form a long oval, and are regularly curved 

 and dentated. 



Among other North Indian Butterflies allied to Hypottmncu^ 

 Out with the costa of the fore-wings straighter, and the hind- 

 wings rounded and but slightly dentated, we may mention 

 Stibochiona^ Butler. The Butterflies of this genus measure 

 three inches across the wings, with some rows of blue and 

 white sub-marginal spots. Neurosigma siva, of West wood, is 

 a pale tawny Butterfly, expanding four inches, with large 

 black spots towards the base, and zig-zag lines beyond, while 

 the hind-margins of the fore-wings are broadly black, with two 

 rows of pale yellow spots. 



Mynes, of Boisduval, a small genus confined to Australia, 

 New Guinea, Ceram, &c., is placed near Hypolimnas, by Schatz 

 and Rober, though it was formerly considered to be more 

 nearly allied to Charaxes (Ochs.). These Butterflies expand two 

 inches or more across the wings; the fore-wings are short and 

 broad, and the hind-wings are rounded above, but almost 

 rectangular below, with a projecting tooth at the outer angle, 

 the space between this and the inner angle being dentated. 

 The upper side is of a greenish-white with black borders, 

 varying in width, and sometimes reducing the pale basal 

 colouring to very small dimensions. The under surface varies 

 in a similar way, but is nearly always adorned with red spots at 

 the base and in different parts of the wings, and there are 

 often yellow or bluish-green markings in addition, to relieve the 

 plain black and white.
