10. Genus: IB an tana Mr. 
Only 1 species from Ceylon. Antennal club strong, rectangularly bent, palpi obliquely upturned; forewing 
with a long cell extending beyond the last third of the costa. Costa without a fold. Hind tibiae with 2 pair 
of spurs, and in the <$ with a long hair-pencil. 
H. irifemus Fldr. (163 d). The name indicates the almost uniformly deep blackish-brown upper inf emus. 
surface of the <$. Only at the costal margin of the forewing there are the beginnings of two small chains of 
dull yellowish-brown diffuse spots; an anterior one behind the centre of the costa and a posterior one before 
the apex. Ceylon; the species must be either rare or local there, as I myself never discovered it on my numerous 
excursions in this island. 
11. Genus: Sataraupa Mr. 
As to this genus cf. Vol. I, p. 333. A number of mostly palearctic forms such as tethys, moorei , sinica etc., 
owing to small differences, had been separated as the genus Daimio with the type tethys *), but later on united 
with Satarupa. The genus is exclusively Asiatic. 
S. gopala Mr. (163 d). Besides nymphalis (Vol. I, p. 334, pi. 44 d) the largest species of the genus, gopala. 
Forewing with hyaline spots, hindwing white except base and margin. Abdomen also white except the apex. 
In the typical form from Sikkim and the Kliasia Hills there are also small hyaline spots between the radial 
branches of the forewing, connecting the subapical spots with the series of discal square spots. — ionkiniana tonldniana 
Fruhst. is somewhat larger, with a broader dark margin of the hindwing, and larger submarginal blackish oval 
dots on the hindwing; from Chiem-hoa in Tonkin, taken in August and September. — f (mil o sail a Matsumura formosana. 
( = majasra Fruhst.) (163 d) has no hyaline spots between the radial branches, and the disced ones form a 
straighter row, which fact Matsumura already pointed out. — According to Martin, also a form of gopala 
is said to occur in Sumatra. 
S. affinis. By the Javanese form javanensis Fruhst. (163 d) with very much white on the hindwing and javanensls 
large hyaline spots on the forewing the species approaches the forms of gopala, but it is smaller, and the forewing 
lacks the white spot in the cell. — Typical affinis Drc., from Borneo, have much smaller spots on the forewing, affinis. 
— niphates Weym. , from Sumatra, is somewhat larger, with very large spots on the forewing, but the white niphatcs. 
disc of the hindwing is reduced. 
S. kirmana Plotz (= cognata Dist.) (163 c), from Malacca, also has spots on the forewing, but they kirmana. 
are small, the white discal area of the hindwing being also narrower above and terminating in a thin apex 
particularly towards the centre of the costa. On the hindwing beneath the antemarginal dots are of a very 
different size, those in the subcostal and submedian areas being thick, those before the centre of the 
distal margin thin. The species seems to favour the mountain districts. 
S. dirae Nic. (163 e), from Pulo Laut and Borneo, differs from the Javanese form visana Fruhst. dime. 
(163 e) in its smaller spots on the forewing and a smaller discal band on the hindwing. The £ of visana shows visana - 
2 white spots above each other above the centre of the hind-margin on the forewing. — Fruhstorfer distin¬ 
guishes yet a third race occurring in Sumatra and forming the intermediary between dirae and visana. He 
does not denominate the species, but its occurrence seems to prove that fumosa from Sumatra (vid. p. 1034) 
is not the dirae-iorm. from there. In some districts of Borneo, moreover, specimens are found, that differ a 
little from Pulo-Laut specimens. 
S. sambara Mr. (= cosima Plotz) (163 e) recalls diversa (Vol. Ill, pi. 84 e), but it has a complete sambara. 
oblique row of discal square spots, whereas the smaller diversa only exhibits one large square spot below the 
cell-end. The band of the hindwing is much narrower than in the preceding species. Not rare in Sikkim and 
Assam. — Specimens from Assam already approximate the form indosinica Fruhst. which was taken in Chiem- indosinica 
hoa in Tonkin in August and September; here the discal spots of the forewing are smaller, the band of the hind¬ 
wing is narrower and warms into yellowish. — dohertyi Wts., from Kumaon, is quite similar, but larger, and the dohertyi. 
postmedian row of dots on the hindwing is more situate in the white area, not so intensely shaded by the 
marginal brown. 
S. celebica Fldr. (= permena Hew.) (163 e) differs from the preceding species in exhibiting on the celebica. 
forewing besides some extremely fine preapical spots only a large square spot below the cell-end and two smaller 
ones next to it and a larger one above it. The band of the hindwing is in the darkened by yellowish-brown 
and quite narrow, in the $ broader and white, but likewise shortened towards the costa. The figured specimens 
are from North Celebes (Toli-toli); from South Celebes are said to differ from them in their larger size and 
broader band of the hindwing (= nivescens Fruhst.), which, however, is not the case in a ^ lying before me 
from Patumiang (January). 
*) From Daimio Murray the genus Satarupa is said to differ particularly in the shape of the hindwings, the 
longer antennal hooks, and the scaling of the posterior tibiae.
