i9 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



colour above, with short broad fore-wings and rounded hind- 

 wings ; the under surface is generally more or less ocellated, 

 sometimes with a large eye at the tip of the fore-wings, and 

 two on the hind-wings, and sometimes with merely a row of 

 pale dots across the wings. 



In Amathusia,) Fabr., and Zeiixidia, Hiibner (large brown 

 Butterflies, measuring about four inches across the wings, and 

 sometimes ornamented with large bands or masses of blue on 

 the wings of the males, and with orange-tawny or white mark- 

 ings on the females), the hind-wings are more or less produced 

 at the anal angle. 



The species of Discophora, Boisd., are brown Butterflies, 

 sometimes with a purplish lustre, measuring about three inches 

 across the wings, with white, bluish-white, or tawny transverse 

 bands and rows of spots ; the under side is mottled with brown 

 and dull yellow. In the males the hind-wings are rounded, and in 

 the female they are angulated in the middle of the hind-margin. 



The genus Enispe^ Westwood, somewhat resembles Cir- 

 rhochroa in its markings, but the species are much larger and 

 more robust, with longer hind- wings produced at the anal angle. 

 They are of a rich fulvous, with brown zig-zag lines and spots. 

 The innermost line is straighter than the others, and is visible 

 on both surfaces of the wings, and beyond it ; on the under sur- 

 face, which is yellowish, some traces of small ocellated spots 

 are perceptible. 



Of the genera of Eastern Morphina which we have noticed, 

 Thaumantias and Enispe are not found in the islands, but 

 Tenaris is a purely insular genus ; otherwise the genera are 

 about equally well represented on the Asiatic continent and in 

 the islands. In some genera the males have conspicuous tufts 

 of hair on the upper surface of the hind-wings, most frequently 

 at the base ; but in Zeuxidia there are also two large tufts in 

 the cell, and sometimes another towards the inner-margin, while
