This group has been separated from the Erycinidse of the 
older authors, and contains all the non- American genera and 
species. Half the genera and nearly four-fifths of the species of 
this group are, however, Neotropical ; one is European ; two or 
three African ; and twenty-six Oriental and Australian. The 
genera are : — 
Nemeolius (1 sp.), Europe; Dodona (6 sp.), North India; 
Zemeros (2 sp.). North India and Malaya ; Abisara (11 sp.), 
North India, Malayan and Moluccan districts, Madagascar and 
West Africa ; Taxila (8 sp.), North India and Malaya ; Diced- 
laneura (2 sp.), Moluccan district ; Alesa (6 sp.), Eunogyra (2 
sp.), Cremna (7 sp.), Bceotis (3 sp.), are all from the Brazilian 
sub-region ; Eurybia (10 sp.), Mesosemia (80 sp.), inhabit both 
the Brazilian and Mexican sub-regions.
