Imago. — Closely allied to the two preceding genera, YptJiima and 
Ccenyra. Antennce very short and slender, with a cylindrical, elongate, 
gradually-formed but distinct club, rather blunted at the tip ; ^al'pi 
with long bristly hairs beneath (not so thickly set as in Ypthima), the 
terminal joint very long and sharply pointed, not hairy. Fore-wings 
shaped as in Ypthima, except in being a little more elongate and 
more rounded at apex ; costal nervure largely swollen basally, the other 
nervures simple ; first subcostal nervule originating before extremity 
of cell (a little nearer base than in Ypthima) ^ the second at some 
distance beyond it. Hind-wings longer than in Ypthima, and more 
rounded at anal angle. Cilia of wings remarkably long and sparse, 
especially in ^. 
I have not had sufficient material to admit of dissection, but it is 
evident under the lens that while the fore-legs of the $ cannot be 
made out at all among the hairs of the breast, those of the $ are 
greatly reduced, being very much smaller than those of $ Ypthima, 
and with the tarsus apparently almost obsolete. 
Irrespective of the structural differences mentioned, Physcceneura 
exhibits the peculiarity in marking of possessing on the fore-wings a 
series of five, and on the hind-wings a series of six or seven ocelli, 
which, while conspicuous and silvery-centred on the under side of the 
wings, are on the upper side ill-defined and almost blind (Panda), or 
wanting altogether (Leda). The two known species differ remarkably 
in colouring, P. Panda (Boisd.) being on the upper side of the ordi- 
nary dull-brown, with dull-rufous, ill-marked ocelli, while P. Lcda 
(Gerst.) is white margined with blackish, after the manner of a Terias ; 
and on the under side the conspicuous vermiculation, general in Panda, 
is confined in Zeda to the margins of the wings. 
The genus is not known to extend northward beyond South-Tropical 
Africa ; and while Panda, the type of the genus, ranges from Natal to 
Matabeleland and Damaraland, Zeda has hitherto only been recorded 
from Mombas on the East Coast, where it was discovered by Dr. Kersten.
