of the fore wings. Here, too, the hind-wings are spotted with 

 red beneath as in Dalchin.t. 



[xxvii. D.] Another East Indian genus allied to the last, 

 but which has not yet received a generic name, is represented 

 by Papilio agamemnon, Linn., in which the wings are black, 

 thickly spotted with green, the green band being entirely broken 

 up into spots, and the hind-wings are sub-caudate. 



[xxvii. F.] Idaides, Htibner. The type of this genus, /. 

 codrus (Cramer), is a large Butterfly measuring about five 

 inches in expanse, which is found in Amboina and Ceram. 

 The fore wings are rather pointed, the hind-margin being 

 oblique, and the hind-wings are regularly scalloped, with a 

 moderately long broad tail. It is blackish, with the hind-wings 

 broadly grey towards the base, and with a curved row of round 

 green spots running from the tip to the middle of the inner-

[xxix. A.] The type of Dabasa, Moore, is D. gyas, West- 

 wood, a rare North Indian Butterfly. - It is very dark brown, 

 with indistinct, sub-marginal, ferruginous lunules, rather pointed 

 fore-wings, and a moderately long tail on the hind-wings. The 

 female has a broad white band from the end of the cell of the 

 fore-wings to the inner-margin ot the hind-wings, and a row of 

 sub-marginal yellow spots. The white band is edged above 

 with yellow spots, and there are also some on the costa of the 

 fore-wings above it. 



[xxix. B.] Meandrusci) Moore, is another peculiar Indo- 

 Malayan genus, the type of which is M. evan, Doubleday. It 

 is a large tawny Butterfly, five inches in expanse, with broad 

 black borders spotted with tawny ; the fore-wings are extremely 

 falcate, and the hind-wings have a long tail. The under side 

 is of a dirty yellow.
