NEW INDO-MALAYAN BUTTERFLIES.

former he describes both, sexes, but is evidently unaware that the 

 dense tuft of very long hairs at the side of the tibia on the posterior 

 leg is a male secondary sexual character. Of the latter he presumably 

 means his description to apply to both sexes also, as in describing 

 the type species he mentions them both. Both genera contain 

 a single species each, and Mr. Moore has most unfortunately mixed 

 them up in a terrible way. What he describes as the female of 

 Capila Jayadeva is the true male of Pisola zennara ; and what he 

 gives as the male of Pisola zennara is the true female of Capila 

 jayadeva. He has figured both sexes of the true Capila jayadeva. 



The specific descriptions of the two species should be rear- 

 ranged thus : — 



CAPILA JAYADEVA, Moore. 

 Male. Upperside, both wings 

 brown, with the base clothed with 

 orange-yellow hairs; a narrow 

 longitudinal semi-transparent 

 streak between the veins, the 

 discoidal cell having two streaks, 

 and a third but short streak 

 arising from its extremity. Un- 

 derside, both wings paler brown, 

 the semi-transparent streaks be- 

 ing less prominent. Palpi (except 

 third joint and a few surrounding 

 hairs which are brown), head 

 { except a spot on the forehead 

 which is brown), and thorax above 

 orange-yellow ; thorax below and 

 legs brown ; abdomen brown, with 

 narrow white segmental bands. 

 Female. TJpperside, both wim/s 

 brown. Forewing with a broad 

 yellowish-white semi-transpa- 

 rent irregular-margined discal 

 band obliquely from the middle 



PISOLA ZENNAPA, Moore. 

 Male. Upperside, both wings 

 similar [to the male of Ca^nla 

 Jayadeva'], but with the thorax 

 and the base of the wings brown 

 [instead of being clothed with 

 orange-yellow hairs]. [Under- 

 side, both wings as above.] Fe- 

 male. Upperside, both wings [as 

 in the female of Capila jayadeva], 

 except that the two greyish 

 longitudinal streaks between each 

 pair of veins exteriorly in the 

 hindwing are absent. [Under- 

 side, both wings as above.]
