T. fulgidus Misk. is a small species which probably hardly belongs to this genus, with an expanse 
of 28 to 32 mm. Dark brown, forewing in the basal portion with golden yellow hair and densely strewn with 
small orange scales; the spots are diaphanous yellowish: a transverse row of 3 small oblong subcostal spots, 
the upper one of which is obsolete, % the cos t a before the apex; an oval spot on vein 4; a small wedge- 
shaped spot, below oblicpiely near the base of 3 and 4; a similar one at 2, 3. Hindwing coloured like fore wing, 
in the centre a transverse row of spots between veins 2 and 6, the 3rd more oblong than the others; under 
surface yellowish-orange and repeating the marking above. — The larva is said to have been found on a 
species of millet. Queensland, in January. 
40. Genus: Ocyl&adistes Heron. 
Tins genus forms the transition from the Telicota to the Padraona. It contains 6 forms distributed 
from the Moluccas across New Guinea to Australia. Hardly separable from Padraona, only by somewhat 
broader fore wings and a straight scent-streak of the <$. 
0. mamas Fldr. (172 e), from the Moluccas (Amboina, Buru), has bright orange-yellow markings 
on the ground being above jet-black, beneath brownish-black. The forewing above shows the cell filled with 
yellow, and the costal portion above it is also orange, besides there is a discal oblicpre band tapering towards 
the apex. On the hindwing the orange spot is an oval which is sinuately defined. — In dschilus Plotz (— mamas 
Swh. nec Fldr.) (172 e), from New Guinea, this spot of the hindwing is much narrower, stripe-shaped, and the 
orange spot in the cell of the forewing is almost completely covered with black. Not rare; also in North 
Australia from Cooktown to the south as far as Brisbane. 
0. tanus Plotz (172 e), likewise from New Guinea, is smaller and has a bright orange-red cell of the 
forewing, being otherwise above — especially in the hindwing — very similar to dschilus. But beneath 
the hindwing shows the costal portion brightly spotted yellow, whereas in dschilus it is unicoloured dark brown. 
Apparently likewdse common. — nihana Fruhst., from Waigeu, has twice as broad black bands and margins, 
all the ochreous areas being much narrower, beneath more abundantly cancellated black. — yashtivana Fruhst., 
on the contrary, exhibits a twice as broad yellow submarginal band. The form from Ceram. 
0. flavoguttata Plotz (172 f) which we do not know from Manila, but only from Australia, where it 
is common in the north, is presumably better ranged with Telicota. The scheme of markings is similar to that 
of mamas, yet the structure is Telicota- like, the colouring more light orange, and the marking on both sides 
very deep blackish-brown. 
0. suffusus Mab., from Australia, seems not to have been found again; it is somewhat similar to tanus 
and has the same size, the orange cell of the forewing is almost entirely darkened by black irroration, and the 
disc of the hindwing is blackened, only the fringe and a costal-marginal stripe of the forewing remaining purer 
reddish-yellow. Beneath the yellow colour is more purely prominent, particularly the disc of the forewing 
is orange, the hindwing somewhat lighter yellow. 
0. ardea B.-Bak. Head and thorax black, intermixed with orange hairs, abdomen above black, beneath 
orange. Fore wing black with a large wedge-shaped orange spot from the base of the costal margin to behind 
the cell, downwards to the median, behind it with a broad orange band and a spot above it.near the costal 
margin. Hindwing black with a very broad irregular postmedian orange band; fringes orange, feebly speckled 
black. Beneath the forewing is extensively suffused with orange, the hindwing yellowish. Fak Fak (Dutch 
New Guinea). 
41. Genus : Aiigiaries Hbn. 
This genus being particularly represented in the palearctic region containing the commonest Central 
European Hesperid A. sylvanus is composed of but 2 species in the Indian Region. As to the genus itself cf. 
Yol. 1, p. 347—48. 
A. siva Mr. (172 f). Habitus entirely like that of the Telicota- species we dealt with last and which some 
have separated as a special genus ( Corone ), but the upper surface is totally darkened, with but few dispersed 
small light spots as in some Parnara or Halpe. Beneath the wings exhibit only 2 or 3 silvery white dots which 
are surrounded with black. Khasia Hills; Bernardmyo (Pegu). 
A. brahma Mr., from the Himalaya, is cpiite similar to siva, but the dots on the hindwing beneath are 
neither lustrous silvery nor surrounded with black; the G of brahma besides shows in the androconial stripe 
of the forewing above a white median ray which is absent in siva.
