ZOOLOGICAL LITEUATURE. 
. Butler (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. iii. p. 20, note) states that the East- 
Indian form of Diadema lasinassa, Cram. = the true Pap. holina, Linn., and 
must receive that name, while the Diad. bolina of recent authors must take 
the name of misippus^ applied by Linnaeus to the female of that species. 
, Ilarma hypatha. Hewitson describes the male of this species from Old 
Calabar. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1869, p. 75. n. 7. 
' Butler (P. Z. S. 1868, pp. 599-615, pi. 46) has revised the species of the 
genus AdoliaSf and divided them into the 6 following genera: — Adolias, 
Boisd., type aconthea ; Tana'ecia, t)rpe pulasara ; Symphccdra, Iliibn., type 
(Bropus (the dirtea group is also included in this genus) ; Dichorragia, type 
nesimachus j Stibochiona, type coresia Neurosigma, type siva. He describes 
varieties of various species, and the male of Adol. sahadeva. He states that 
the male of A. octogesima appears to be the same as A. alpheda, male, but 
that the supposed female seems to belong to the appiadcs group of the genus. 
He describes and figures the true cocytus of Fabricius, and figures A. monina, 
Fabr. {—cocyta, ¥sihv.=spuseda, Moore). He states that Vollenhoven has 
probably described two species as the sexes of his A. gandarva. He describes 
the female of A. appiades and of Tana'ecia pelea, Fabr. {pelea J —palguna, 
Moore), and the male of T. varuna. He also asserts that Adol. conjinis, Feld. 
z^Abroiajumna, Moore, and not A. ganga. [We are, however, informed by 
W. S. Atkinson that these supposed species are only vars. In any case the 
name confmis has the priority overjwwma]. 
Apatura. Hewitson (Ex. Butt. 71, Oct. 1869, Apatura, pi. 1) figures A. 
pavofiii, f. 3, 4, and A. laurentia $, f. 6, 6. Butler (Cistula Entomologica, 
p. 8) describes the females of A. lucasii and A. laiirentia, and remarks that 
Iliibner has figured the female of A. druryi as that of A. laura. 
Charaxes. Butler (Lepidoptera Exotica, p. 5, pi. 2) describes the females 
of C. smaragdalis, f. 1, and C. saturnus, f. 2, from Congo. He also remarks 
that Nymphalis Caledonia, Hew., should form a new genus intermediate be- 
tween Charaxes and Protho'e. 
Paphia. Hewitson (Ex. Butt. 69, Jan. 1869, Paphia, pi. 2) figures C. ty-' 
rianthina, Salvin & Godman, f. 4, and C. cyanea, S. & G., f. 6, 9. 
Siderone zethus, Westw., is a synonym of S. strigosus, Gmel., according to 
Kirby, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1869, p. 359. 
New genera and species : — 
Tana'ecia, n. g., Butler, P. Z. S. 1868, p. 610. Type Adolias pulasara, 
Moore. Sexes nearly alike j palpi with a slender bristle-like terminal joint 
slightly variable in length j middle discocellular of front wing feebly recurved j 
first branch of subcostal nervure in hind wings emitted at some distance from 
base, the second just beyond. 
Dichorragia, n. g., Butler, l.c. p. 614. Type Adolias nesimachus, Boisd. 
Allied to Apaturina ; hind-wing cell partially closed by an interrupted and 
rather delicate lower discocellular nervule. 
Stibochiona, n. g., Butler, 1. c. p. 614. Type Hypolimnas coresia, Hiibn. 
Allied to Diadema j discoidal cells of both wings distinctly closed ; middle 
and lower discocellulars of fore wing forming a continuous arch ; upper dis- 
cocellular of hind wing obliquely arched, the lower a little longer than the 
upper, slightly arched, and meeting the median nervure somewhat obliquely 
at the origin of the second and third branches.
