OTHER SPECIES OP SATYRID.E INCLUDED IN STAUDINGER’S

FAUNA.’’ 
Genus MELANARGIA. 
M. Titea, Kliig. Symb. T. 29, 15-18, 1832 ; Ld. Z. B. v. 1855. 
Darceti, Dup. i. 26, 5, 6 (1833). — Expands from 1'75 to 2*30 in. 
Close to Lachesis, but the black markings are more distinct, 
forming a broad black border, with white spots. All the wings 
are black at the base. The markings of the under side of the 
hind wings differ from Lachesis in having the central band white, 
edged with black, and the submarginal row of spots very distinct, 
and enclosed in light yellow rings. Habitat, Syria. 
Var. Teneates, Men. Cat. Rais. p. 252 (1832) ; H. S. 423-4. — 
Scarcely differs from the type ; slightly paler in colouring, the 
black markings being smaller. Habitat, Armenia, Persia, and 
Asia Minor. 
M. Epimede, Stgr. MS. Cat. 1883. — Differs from Lachesis 
in having the neuration of all the wings dark brown or black. 
The inner margin of the fore wings is dusky thoughout its 
entire length. The hind wings have the base altogether white, 
excepting the nervures. Under side white, with the dark markings 
very distinct. Habitat, the Amur and Japan. Probably a small 
form of Halimede. 
M. Larissa var. Astanda, Nordm. — Larger and darker than the 
type. Habitat, Armenia. 
M. Halimede, Men. Schrk. p. 37 ; T. hi. 6, 7. — Larger than 
Epimede, expanding from 2-20 to 2*30 in. All the markings are 
darker and broader, especially along the hind margins and the 
inner margins of the fore wings ; the submarginal ocellated spots 
on the underside of the hind wings are also very large, whereas in 
Epimede they are very indistinct. I have received a pair of this 
species from Dr. Staudinger, and am inclined to think his 
M. Epimede is the original Halimede of Menetries. Habitat, the 
Amur. 
M. Mauritanica, Stgr. MS. Cat. 1883. — A pair of this species 
has been received from Dr. Staudinger. It greatly resembles
