than in peiiada, and of larger size. The female generally sits on a leaf 

 with half-open wings, and might easily be taken for a small Girrlwchroa, 

 or sometimes for a Loxura. In any case its entire departure from the 

 usual colours of the group indicates that it is likely to prove a mimic. 



The female is somewhat variable. I have no doubt that it will 

 turn out conspecific with Poniiajpofwia,— from the Malay Peninsula — 

 which I only know from Hewitson's figure. 



It seems also probable that the insect named by Mr. Distant 

 Simishina fulgens and placed by him in the ErycinidcB, is identical* 

 with or at least very closely allied to this species. Unfortunately, he 

 gives no description of the genus, merely noting two particulars in 

 which, it is true, it differs from all Eastern Erycinidce, but agrees with 

 the Foritias and with most other genera of the Lyocsnidce. The figure 

 faithfully represents a rather worn and faded female of this species. 



The egg differs from that of Poritia in having the hexagonal reti- 

 culations very regular and delicate ; it has the same extraordinary shape. 

 It differs wholly from the eggs of the Eastern Nemeobiadw, which are all 

 round in horizontal section and without the slightest trace of reticula- 

 tion.
