 wing brown, more or less closely sprinkled with greyish-yellow scales, except on a

 occupies about the basal half of vein 2, and its apex just reaches vein 6. Fringes 

 dark grey, the short scales darker, especially on the hind wing. Antennae above 

 dark brown, very finely spotted with white beneath, apiculus pale red on the 

 underside. Body above brown ; clothing of the palpi, breast, and legs of yellow and

Described from two specimens ex coll. Staudinger. 



According to a specimen received from M. Mabille, this is the same as his Pamphila 

 rama ; we have not, however, been able to find any reference to the publication of the 

 latter name.

Cupiiha, Moore, Jour. As. Sec. Beng. 1884, pt. ii. p. 47; Watson, P. Z. S, 1893, p. 111. Type 

 purreea, Moore. 



A genus of a single species, best distinguished by the secondary sexual characters of 

 the male. The pattern of the upperside is essentially the same as that found in 

 Telicofa gola, Moore. Male : fore wing with the dorsum angularly produced just 

 before the middle, on the undei'side with a tuft of long hairs on the dorsum between 

 the base and the angulation ; hind wing above with an oval depression at the end of 

 the cell filled with what appears to be a waxy matter, the middle of this depression is 

 traversed by the confluent basal portion of veins 3 and 4, which thus form a loop 

 above the lower margin of the cell.
