Odina ORTYGIA. 

 Odina ortygia, de Nic^ville, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1895, p. 531. 



Closely allied to hieroglyphica, Butl., from which it differs " on both surfaces in 

 having all the black markings reduced by half, all the orange markings therefore 

 greatly enlarged." 



Expanse 36^ mm.

Described from one male specimen. 



Darpa. 



Darpa, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 781 ; Watson, op. cit. 1893, p. 58. Type hanria, Moore. 



A genus of one species, distinguished as well by its facies as by its much dentate 

 hind wing, which is produced into a strong tooth at the apex of each of veins 2, 3, 5, 

 and 6.

 Plerygospidea, Wallgr. Shop. Caffr. p. 53 (1857). Tygeflesus, Fab. 



A genus of soberly coloured species, brought together on account of more or less 

 resemblance to Papilio japetus, Cr. In the more typical species the palpi are porrect, 

 densely scaled, with the usual lateral rows of hairs rudimentary or absent, the last 

 joint small and bluntly conical, and the lower edge of the cell of the fore wing is more 

 or less arcuate between the bases of veins 2 and 3 ; but this latter is a very variable 

 feature. Watson gives the hind tibise as " fringed " only, but the males of several 

 species have penicillate hind tibiae, and in some the intermediate tibiae are penicillate 

 also. 



The following is a table of the species known to us : — 



1 (48). Transverse vein of bind wing erect, i.e. forming practically a right 



angle with vein 4. 



2 (39). Second joint of palpi densely scaled, when viewed from the side 



subovate, nearly as wide as long, the lateral row of hairs 

 rudimentary or absent. 



3 (26) . No hyaline spot in cell 1 1 of fore wing.
