This genus is closely allied to Narathura, the only structural difference of any value which. 

 I can discover being in the length of the costal nervure of the anterior wings f which, as pointed 

 out in the generic synopsis (a?itca t p. 234), extends to about half the distance of the costal 

 margin. 



I have felt no hesitation in placing Satadru as a synonomy of Panchala, Mr. Moore, its 

 proposer and describer, stating that its " venation" is 11 similar to that of Panchala/ 1 



It is, however, a question whether these four proposed genera, viz., Narathura , Nilasera, 

 Patwliala, and Satadra^ as formulated by Mr. Moore, and condensed into two by the present 

 writer, would not even be more naturally treated as one, under two sections. One feels a 

 reticence in altogether disagreeing with the conclusions of a veteran lepidopterist, but at the 

 same time haw can this ^vnmc splilliu^ advance the study of Entomology, which, after all, is 

 the only excuse for publication ? 



The geographical distribution of Pancltala has been noticed with that of Saratimm.
