first subcostal of the forewing is given off at one-sixth before the end 

 of the cell, the second at two-thirds thence to the end of the cell, 

 the third (which extends to the costa) at more than one-third between 

 the cell and the apex, opposite the end of the first subcostal ; the 

 fourth and fifth bifurcate halfway thence to the apex. Upper dis- 

 co-cellular distinct, very short, middle strongly angled inwardly, one- 

 third above its lower end, lower slender, slightly concave, half again as 

 long as the upper, reaches the median just beyond its last bifurcation. 

 Hindwing with the praecostal vein slightly bifid, the cell closed by a 

 slender vein somewhat bent inwardly, joining the costa considerably 

 before the separation of its two upper branches. The radial is more 

 curved than in Eurhinia, the internal short, = less than half the 

 abdominal margin. The antennae are slender and have about 51 joints, 

 of which the club, which is small and cylindrical, has fourteen. The 

 palpi are long and raised above the head, the last joint long and straight. 

 The feet seem to have four claws. 



The genus is rather close to A^atura (Hypolimnas) , but the fore- 

 wing is sharply angled at the end of the fifth subcostal, and the hind- 

 wing at the upper median branch. The disco-cellulars of both wings 

 are very different from those of Apatura, and the forewing is indented 

 at the base of the costa (as in EurTiinia and Grapta). The disco-cel- 

 lulars also distinguish it from DicJiorrhagia, which in venation comes 

 nearest to it among Indian butterflies. From Vanessa and allied genera 

 it differs in the short, broad cell of the forewing, with its deep, acute 

 upper angle more remote from the base than the lower one. 



As I have never seen sahina, I take vasuhi for the type of the genus.

cf , $ . Deep fuscous above with two obscure darker submarginal lines. 

 Cilia whitish, anal angle irrorated with gray, obscure darker lines across 

 the cell above and below. A broad band of pale reddish-ochreous crosses 

 both wings discally, somewhat bent inwardly near the costa of the fore- 

 wing, where it is cut by the dark subcostal vein. A series of three apical 

 ochreous spots, the middle one distinct, the outer ones small and obscure. 

 Two small white spots on the^outer disc between the middle median and 

 the lower radial, present in both sexes. On the hindwing, unlike sahina, 

 the band is immaculate and narrows greatly in its lower portion, not 

 approaching the abdominal margin. An obscure ocellus visible in some 

 specimens on the hindwing outside of the band. Below the butterfly resem- 

 bles a dry leaf ; the prevailing colour is ashy gray with a faint silky 

 gloss ; the band of the upperside is faintly visible through the wing as a 

 paler fascia, the two white dots more distinct, forming part of a discal line 

 of black dots set in reddish irides, obscurely visible on both wings though
