margin of the forewing beneath and minute light spots of the hindwing beneath; in typical specimens the 
hindwing beneath is intensely spotted, whereas in the form subtestaceus Mr. which seems to be the spring-form siAtcsla- 
(April), the hindwing beneath is brick-coloured and almost or entirely without the light spotting of typical 
specimens. — khasiaraus Mr. are specimens in which the hyaline spots on the wings are larger, and particularly Jchasianus. 
the subapical ones are more prominent, the form being somewhat larger, too. Sikkim, Khasia Mts., Burmah. 
A. vindhiana Mr. (168 f) has the size and shape of Pedestes maculicornis (168 h), but the forewing exhibits vindhiann. 
besides small subapical spots as well as a transverse spot above the submedian vein. Beneath the hindwing 
is brownish brick-coloured and exhibits a light small spot surrounded by black in the cell, and a similar arcuate 
row through the disc.— nilgiriana Mr. is an insignificant race with smaller spots from the Nilghiii Mts., whereas nilyiriana. 
in modesta Mr. the spots are so very small that they almost disappear. The species is known from Jubbulpur, modeata. 
Mhow, and Travancore. 
A. binghami Swh. (168 f) shows the discal spots of the forewing so much reduced in size that the binyhami. 
insect looks like a Parnara , somewhat like P . mathias (Vol, I, pi. 88 f, g), particularly ince also the under 
surface appears quite uni-coloured sepia-brown, excepting the light hindmarginal areas. The difference, however, 
is easily noticeable in the contours of the wings and the position of the hyaline dots in the hind wing. Burmah. 
15. Genus : Itis Nic. 
This genus has only 2 dark brown species from Cachar, Penang, and Java. They are most closely allied 
with the Arnetta , but distinguished by the last palpal joint which is horizontally porrect in Arnetta being here 
very slightly raised. Hind-margin of forewing longer than the distal margin; at the hind-margin of the G a 
pencil of long hairs. Hindwing broad. 
I. iadera Nic. (168 f as ladera). On both sides uni-coloured brown, only on the forewing beneath the iadera. 
hindmarginal portion shows a brighter area the centre of which is covered by the hair-tuft of the G- Java, 
Sumatra. 
I. microstictum Wood-Mas. (169 a) is quite similar, above van Dyk brown, with a slight violet reflection, microslic- 
the forewing with 4 small hyaline spots in the cells 2, 3, 6 and 7, and a double cellular spot which is twice as 
high as it is broad. The hindwing beneath shows indistinct traces of 3 dark bands, one in the basal portion 
and 2 postmedian ones, and 3 or 4 small whitish-ochreous spots. From Cachar. 
16. Genus: Illinois Nic. 
The only unicoloured brown species composing this genus is said to have 2 pair of spurs at the posterior 
end of the hind tibiae, whereby the genus would be distinguished from all the allied genera. Besides the hind 
tibiae exhibit a hair-tuft on the proximal part. Elwes and Edwards have examined the only existing badly 
preserved specimen (Coll. Staudinger) and place it to the genus Parnara from which, however, it differs 
considerably in the habitus. 
I. unicolor Nic. Unicoloured blackish-brown, above deeper than beneath. Without any hyaline spots, unicolor. 
in the colouring similar to a small aria (169d, e), but without the red eyes and of a different shape of the wings. 
Perak. 
I. yanuca Fruhst., described from a single A from Formosa, is said to be allied to this species, being yanuca. 
above black, beneath deep brown, but the median portion of the forewing likewise quite black. Length of 
forewing 20 mm. 
17. Genus: Inessa Nic. 
Antennae longer than half the costa; club long with a rectangularly bent apex of medium length. 
Forewing with a sharp apex and gonvex distal margin. On the forewing of the $ there is an oblique scent-mark 
of black scales, extending from the submedian vein to the base of branch 4; but 1 species from the Indian 
Archipelago. 
I. ilion Nic. (169 a) on the yellowish greyish-brown ground shows transverse rows of light spots on ilion. 
both wings as well as small spots in the posterior portion of the cell. At the lower cell-wall, right behind the base, 
a whitish ray. Under surface almost exactly as above, the margins of the wings somewhat more yellow. Disco¬
