130 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAEDS : 



the distal half of the cell, a narrow one across cell 1 b before the middle, one in cells 

 4-5 just beyond the transverse vein, about half as large as that in the cell, one filling 

 the basal third of cell 3, an oblong one near the middle of cell 2, and a narrow one 

 across cell 1 b just beyond the middle. 



! CoLADENIA MjENIATA. 

 Coladenia mceniata, Oberthiir, Etudes d'Eut. xx. p. 42, pi. ix. fig. 164, <$ (1896). 



Closely allied to C. vitrea, Leech, but differs in the number and position of the 

 hyaline spots in the hind wing below as follows : — the spot in cell 6 does not fill the 

 apex of that cell, there is no spot in cells 4-5, nor across cell 1 b before the middle. 

 The termen of the hind wing also is more evidently produced near vein 4 than in 

 C. vitrea. 



Hab. E. Tibet (fide Oberthiir). 



M. Oberthiir was good enough to give Elwes a specimen of the species taken at a 

 place called Masnia, which he says is near Ta-tsien-lo ; but, notwithstanding the points 

 of difference above noted, we think it may prove to be only a variety of C. vitrea, 

 which came from the same district. 



Satarupa. 



Satarupa, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 780; Watson, Hesp. Ind. p. 87 (1891); id. P. Z. S. 1893, 



p. 46. Type gopala, Moore. 

 Daimio, Murray, Ent. Mo. Mag. xi. p. 171 (1875) ; Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 47. Type tethys, Meu. 



It would be better to place in this genus all the species which Watson puts into the 

 genus Daimio. Murray used the latter name for tethys, Men., but if such insects as 

 sinica, Feld., phisara, Moore, and sambara, Moore, are associated with gopala, Moore, 

 and nymphalis, Speyer, in one genus, as they well may be, then tethys, Men., which is 

 evidently congeneric, should be with them and the name Daimio becomes unnecessary. 



Watson says of Satarupa : " Closely allied to Daimio, from which it may be sepa- 

 rated by the shape of the wings, especially of the hind wing, by the much greater 

 length and more decided hook in the terminal portion of the antennal club, and by the 

 scaling of the hind tibiae of the male." Of the points on which he relies to separate 

 the genera, the greater length of the hind wing is only found in gopala, Moore ; the 

 more decided hook in the terminal portion of the antennal club is merely a matter of 

 degree, and the scaling of the hind tibiae of the male is not sufficiently uniform in the 

 species to form a generic distinction. Of Satarupa he says : " In the male the hind 

 tibiae are fringed along their upper edge, and the inner side of the tibiae is clothed with 

 long, coarse, recumbent hairs," — thus omitting all mention of the tuft of long hairs which 

 springs from the upperside of the base of the hind tibiae in gopala, Moore, which he
