that wing arising at the lower end of the cell instead of long before 

 the end. All the genera of the Amathusiinse have to my eyes a facies 

 peculiar to themselves not seen in Amnosia; besides which in all the 

 genera except Xanthotsenia the discoidal cell of the hindwing is open or 

 only partially closed, in the Satyrinse it is closed entirely, Amnosia 

 therein agreeing with the latter. The genus at present contains four 

 species, A. decora, Doubleday and Hewitson, from Java, A. eudamia, 

 Grose Smith, from Sumatra, A. baluana, Fruhstorfer, from North 

 Borneo, and A. decorina, Fruhstorfer, from Nias. The male of A. eu- 

 damia differs from that sex of A, decora in having the oblique blue 

 band on the upperside of the forewing broader, paler, and of a more 

 silvery hue. The female of A. eudamia is dimorphic, one form having 

 the band yellow, the other having it white ; specimens somewhat inter- 

 mediate between these two forms, the band being yellowish-white, are 

 sometimes obtained. Dr. Martin informs me that he has received both 

 forms of A. decora from Java also. He took the first white females of 

 A. eudamia ever obtained to Europe in 1889, from them the late Herr 

 Honrath created the species Amnosia martini, not being aware that 

 Mr. Henley Grose Smith had already described the species from speci- 

 mens obtained by Mr. Henry O. Forbes. Dr. Martin captured his first 

 specimens himself in 1889 in Deli, south of Kampong Roemah Kenang- 

 kong. It occurs also in the forests at high elevations south of Bekant- 

 schan, in the Battak mountains, and on the Central Plateau, but is by 

 no means common, as is the Javan species, so Mr. Fruhstorfer informs 

 us, in suitable localities.

Grose Smith. Hagen. Distant. Kirby. Rare, and occurs in dense 

 forests only as high as Namoe Oekor.

 Very rare, Dr. Martin has obtained two or three specimens only. It 

 may be known from the C. euptychioides of Felder, which is apparently 

 confined to Borneo, by the female being devoid of all ultramarine-blue 

 coloration on the upperside of the hindwing. The pupils of the ocelli 

 on the underside of all the species of the genus are of a lovely iridescent 

 blue colour which is only visible in some lights. This is also the case 

 in the allied genus PtycJiandra, Felder, from the Philipines.
