occupied by the longer of the two tails. Manto comes into the first 

 of these which has the inner tail the longer, and contains five other 

 eastern genera — Zeltus, de Niceville ; Charana, de Niceville ; 

 Neocheritra, Distant ; Jacoona, Distant ; and Thrix, Doherty. Of 

 these, Neocheritra and Thrix have four subcostal nervules to the fore- 

 wing in the male ; Zeltus has only two ; while the other two and 

 Manto have three. There remain then only two genera — Char ana and 

 Jacoona, — from both of which Manto differs in possessing secondary 

 male sexual characters. It is nearest of all to Charana, but the 

 inner margin of the forewing in the male is straight in that genus, 

 greatly bowed outwardly in Manto ; in Charana, the hindwing is about 

 as broad as it is long, in Manto it is much longer than broad ; the 

 costa of Charana is slightly arched only, in Manto it is greatly 

 arched ; and in Charana the second median nervule arises well before, 

 in Manto at, the lower end of the cell.

Myrina hypoleuca, Hewitson, HI. Diurn. Lep., p. 38, d. 40, pi. xvii, figs. 54, 55, male (1865). 



Habitat : Java {Hewitson) ; Central Java, 1,500 feet (Fruhstorfer, 

 coll. de Niceville) ; Eastern Java (coll. de Niceville). 



The anal tail in the type specimen of this species was lost on both 

 sides, so in drawing it Mr. Hewitson had to guess it. It is not drawn 

 quite long enough, while the outer tail is shown a little too long in 

 the lower figure (No. 54), of the right length in the upper (No. 55). 

 Mr. Hewitson omitted to describe the male secondary sexual characters, 

 but I have supplied the omission in the generic diagnosis above. Dr. 

 A. Pagenstecher, in Jahr. des Nass. Yer. fur Natur., vol. xliii, 

 p. 98, n. 93 (1890), places u Sithon " hypoleuca as a synonym of " S. " 

 martina in recording the species from East Java. The two species are 

 I believe distinct, and it is not apparent, even if they should be one and 

 the same species, why the older name of the two should be sunk as a 

 synonym of the later name.
