The Evidence of Structure of the Legs. 



Probably the most important point in the histology of 

 this genus is to be found in the structure of the tarsi of 

 the forelegs of the ? , and in evidence of this I cannot do 

 better than quote from Mr. Moore's MSS. notes, made 

 March, 1895, and of which he has been kind enough to 

 give me a written copy, from which the following is an 

 extract : 



"Note on Calinaga, made March, 1895. 

 Forelegs of male, pectoral ; femur, tibia, and tarsus 

 clothed with fine, long hairs ; tarsus ^ the length of 

 tibia, unarmed. Forelegs of female, somewhat longer 

 and more slender, much less hairy, the hairs shorter 

 and finer, especially on tibia and tarsus, which are 

 much shorter and bristly ; the tarsus thicker, five- 

 jointed, the first joint nearly as long as the other four 

 altogether, the fifth as long as the third and fourth 

 together, the latter each with a short, lateral, very fine 

 and delicate spine, and the terminal joint armed with 

 a pair of rather long, prominent, stout, curved, forward- 

 projecting claws, these claws being very closely 

 approximate at their base ; below these claws is a 

 pair of paronychia and pulvilli." 



And again {Lepidoptera Indica, vol. II., p. 221) : 



" In Calinaga, a genus hitherto placed in the 

 NymphalincB, the female of both the Indian and 

 Chinese species has the foretarsus perfect, the terminal
