CAM^ENA. 267 



iii are usually separated by a distinct light peripheral zone, and band 

 iv is generally bounded by a basal light zone. Band ii is generally 

 narrow and dark, immediately above the periphery, but it is some- 

 times widened, and in C. trailli it is split into two. Most species' of 

 the Philippine Island group of Camcena (including Phcenico bins and 

 Pseudobba) possess all four bands ; but in some, such as C. mamilla, 

 the umbilical patch is wanting. In the Indo-Chinese group of 

 species, bands i and iv are wanting ; band ii only being retained in 

 hzinaiiensis, illustris, xanthoderma, etc., and band iii in cicatricosa, 

 pachychila, etc. Besides these, numerous narrow lines are developed 

 in some species. 



The general system of banding in Hadra is similar to that of 

 Camcena. See Manual, vol. VI, p. 129, 149.
