176 J. Wood-Mason — On the Lepiilopfcrous Genus ^moua. [No. 3, 



where a line of setse running along the anterior side of the submedian vein 

 ends in a curled whisp which, when at rest, lies in a slight groove or fold 

 of the wing-membrane. 



Plain and delicate butterflies of a pale fulvous colour inconspicuously 

 or obsoletely ocellated on the underside. 



In the form of the hind-wings and in the position of the male scent- 

 fans ^mona agrees with Xanthotcenia, and in its pointed fore-wings with 

 Zcuxidia, Enis^Je, und Disco])hora, hni it diifers from these and from all the 

 otlier Indian genera of JSIorpMnce in the relations of the costal and subcostal 

 veins to one another, and in otlier respects. 



(a.) Fore-wing produced and pointed at apex with its outer margin concave-sinuous.

 ? . " Uppeeside rufous-brown, the bands of the underside seen 

 througli. Anterior wing crossed beyond the middle by a band of orange- 

 yellow : the apex dark brown. Posterior luing with some arcuate spots 

 near the apex. 



" Underside rufcus, tinted with darker colour. IBotJi wings crossed 

 at the middle by a common rufous-brown band : both with a band of 

 minute rufous ocelli some of which are pupilled with white : both with a 

 submarginal band rufous. Anterior wing with a pale rufous band near the 

 base and a spot of the same colour at the end of the cell. Posterior wing

" Expanse 3-^ inches 



" Hab. Northern India." 



The female is only known to me from Hewitson's description and 

 figures. 



$ . Lighter-coloured than the female. Upperside pale fulvous, the 

 strigse or bands of the underside showing through. Anterior wing darker 

 at the base and at the tip, between which darker parts the colour is very 

 pale yellowish-fulvous. Posterior wing of the same shade as the base of 

 the anterior one to within a short distance of the margin, whence it is 

 paler, and with an indistinct submarginal series of arcuate marks extending 

 from the apical to the anal angle. Underside uniform pale fulvous ; the 

 strigaj as in the female ; the ocelli (one, the second and largest, perfect, the 

 remaining five rudimentai-y) of the posterior wing also as in the female, 

 but in the anterior wing only the one between the first and second median 

 veinlet and faint traces of that between the first median veinlet and 

 the submedian vein are present ; the thin submarginal brown line more 

 obviously engrailed than in the female.
