32 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



black nemires, and the hind-wings dusted with blue. In the 

 male, the costa of the hind-wings has a short greenish-yellow 

 stripe at the base, and a black spot in a red or peach-coloured 

 rim at the anal angle ; in the female there is a cluster of similar 

 spots at the anal angle. 



[LXV. D., PT.] Pangeranopsis, Wood-Mason and De Niceville, 

 is a generic name that has been proposed for another North 

 Indian species, P. elephenor (Doubleday), which much resem- 

 bles Panosmiopsis prote?ior, but the fore-wings are lorge:, 

 greenish-black rather than blue-black, and the blue-black hind- 

 wings are narrower and more produced, with a red and black 

 eye-spot at the anal angle. Beneath, the hind-wings have two 

 very large red patches towards the anal angle, and some large 

 red sub-marginal lunules on the hind-margin. 



[LXVI., PT.] Pangerana, Moore. The type of this genus is P. 

 varuna (White), which is found in North India and also at 

 Penang. This Butterfly measures from four to five inches across 

 the wings, the female being larger and paler than the male, and 

 with broader wings. The hind-wings are, however, narrower 

 than in the preceding genera, and less strongly scalloped. They 

 are blue-black, with grey rays between the nervures towards the 

 hinder angle of the fore-wings, especially on the under side. In 

 the female the fore-wings are greyer, with the nervures and 

 black lines on the interspace showing more distinctly than in 

 the male. The collar, a tuft between the eyes, the pleura, and 

 the abdomen beneath, are scarlet, and the abdomen is spotted 

 with black. 



[LXVI., PT.] Atrophaneura, Reakirt. The type of this genus is 

 A. semperi (Felder), a curious Butterfly, confined to the Philip- 

 pine Islands, which measures about four inches across the wings. 

 The body is red, and the wings are black ; the fore-wings are 

 long and narrow, and considerably produced at the tips, the 

 hind-margin being very oblique ; the hind-wings are much ex-
