AEMONA. Hewitson. 



Head small, eyes naked, palpi long, hairy on their inner border where they 

 encircle the eyes : antenna? short, slightly thickened at the point : body small, short. 

 Anterior wing acutely pointed at the apex, the costal nervure very long and reaching 

 nearly to the apex of the wing : the sub-costal nervure with four branches, one before 

 the end of the cell and three near the apex : the cell short, closed, the first and second 

 discocellular nervures short, the third long, meeting the third branch of the median 

 nervure at a distance from its base. Posterior wing with the cell open.

Clerome Amathusia, Hewitson. Trans. Ent. Soc. 2>rd Ser.,p. 566. 



Upperside. Female, rufous-brown, the bands of the underside seen through.

 brown. Posterior wing with some arcuate spots near the apex.

 middle by a common rufous-brown band : both with a band of minute rufous ocelli, 

 some of which are pupilled with white : both with a submarginal rufous band.

In the Collections of Mr. Atkinson of Calcutta, and of Mr. George Semper of Altona. 



I do not feel confident that I have done well in separating this species from the genus Clerome, 

 in which I first placed it. In the neuration they differ very little ; Aemona is more slender in its 

 construction, has the head smaller and the antenna? shorter. The costal and sub-costal nervures are 

 so crowded and run together that it is not easy to make them out. I am indebted to the kindness 

 of Mr. Semper for allowing me the use of this singular species to figure.
