UnKANA MABILLEI. 

 Eriohoia (Casyapa) mabillei, Staudinger, Iris, vol. ii. p. 135 (1889). 



The male differs from that sex of U. attina. Hew., on the upperside by the want of 

 pale spots in cells 4 and 5 and the different shape and sordid yellow colour of the 

 remaining spots, that in the cell being one and a half times as wide as high ; the hind 

 wing below is brown, with some dull red spots near the lower angle of the cell, a broad 

 irregular dark brown band gradually narrowing from the costa and almost reaching 

 vein 1 1, and a large brown subtriangular patch next the base. Fringe of the fore 

 wing whitish grey, the short scales brown ; of the hind wing brown from the apex to 

 vein 4, thence pale yellowish grey. 



These particulars are taken i'rom an example, ex coll. Staudinger, in which the hind 

 wing below is much rubbed.

HiDARI. 

 Hidari, Distant, Rhop. Mai. p. 395 (1886) ; Watsou, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 123. Type irava, Moore. 



Fore wing with the termen (in the male) as long as or longer than the dorsum ; hind 

 wing short, rounded ; abdomen about one-fourth longer than hind wing. Antennse 

 about half as long as costa; club slender; apiculus acute, less than half as long as 

 club. Palpi appressed, second joint densely scaled, tliird joint very short, blunt, almost 

 concealed. Fore wing : vein 2 from the basal third of the lower edge of the cell, trans- 

 verse vein oblique, base of cell 4 about half as long as the base of cell 3. Hind wing 

 with the cell about half as long as the wing. 



Distant includes in this genus three species, which we distinguish as follows : — 



1 (4). Fore wing above with the pale spots free. 



3 (3). Fore wing above with a pale spot near the middle of cell 1 a next vein 1 a, 

 but, normally, no pale spots in cells 7 and 8; hind wing below with a 

 small pale spot in the cell, near the base of vein 6 irava, Moore. 



3 (2). Fore wing above with no pale spot in cell la, and a pale spot in each of 



cells 6, 7, and 8; no pale spot in the cell on hind wing below . . . sybirita, Hew. 



4 (1). Fore wing above with the pale spots confluent and forming a broad 



irregular deep yellow band from the upper edge of the cell to vein 1 a. staudingeri, Dist.
