cocoanut leaves” (Distant, Rhop. Malay. 71). “In Java,” according to Mr. 
Piepers (Tijd. xix. pp. 18, 24) “the sun has scarcely set before we see everywhere 
this and a few other species of like habits ;’’ but the same author remarks, “I never 
saw these species wandering about at night in the moonlight, or entering hghted 
rooms, like the true night-moths, although, like the latter, they sit still and repose 
all day, and, if disturbed, only fly a little way and settle again directly ’’ (Distant, 
l. ce. p. 71). Mr. Collingwood (Rambles of a Naturalist, 183) speaks of these 
butterflies in the Bornean Island, Labuan, as making “ their appearance near sunset, 
when, from their large size, they might be almost mistaken for small bats.” 
Of our illustrations of this species on Plate 146, figs. 1, la, b represent the 
male and female from Burma, and fig. le the larva and pupa, from Horsfield’s 
drawings. On Plate 147, fig. 1 represents the Pegu male variety, and fig. 2 the 
Andaman female.

Genus NANDOGEA, 
Imaco.—Male. Forewing with the apex and exterior margin more rounded 
than in Thaumantis (Odana); cell broader. Hindwing more rounded, the exterior 
margin more uneven, anal angle convex and not produced posteriorly; furnished 
with only a small slender tu/t of erectile hairs arising from below base of the sub- 
costal, but not accompanied with any perceptible glandular patch, either above or 
within the cell (as occurs in Odana). On the underside of the forewing there is a 
short nacreous basal area below the median vein, and an elongated dull silvery-patch 
below the base of the submedian vein.
