ANADEBIS; COELITES. By H. Frtjhstorfer. 
arises at the same distance from the lower median as in modern species. Only the hindwing shows a somewhat different 
structure from the existing one in the course of the costal. In general the neuration appears to be somewhat more simple 
than at the present time, e. g. the discocellular is wanting on the figure to which I have access. It is, however, interesting 
and valuable to be able to show, with the help of these remains of Neorinopsis, that the terminology of the structure employed 
by Bates and Schatz, and recently by me in this work, is also phyletically founded, whilst the attempt of a modern author 
to prove three radials but only two median veins not only contradicts the present conditions, but is also entirely untenable 
from the standpoint of the evolutionary history. 
N. sepulta Bdv. is the only known species. Under surface of the forewing with 6 intramedian circular eye-spots, proxi- 
mally adorned with a white dot. Hindwing with six ringed ocelli of unequal size and a white spot at the point of origin of the 
median vein. It is especially striking that the forewing is tailed at the upper median, and not the hindwing, as in the 
extant species. 
32. Genus: Aiiiulehls Btlr. 
In my opinion there are only two known species of this genus, which have been divided among not 
less than five genera. It is distinguished by long antennae and an unusually broad cell of the forewing, 
which is closed by an oblique, only inappreciably curved tubular vein. The middle and lower discocellulars 
are of almost equal length, in which Anadebis is at once distinguished from Z ether a, a genus which it other¬ 
wise nearly approaches. From Neorina Anadebis differs in the rounded hindwing resp. the absence of the 
tails and the angled lower discocellular of the forewing as well as the much longer cell. The species of 
Anadebis inhabit Anterior and Further India, and the island of Hainan. 
himachala. A. himachala Moore (94 a), described from Darjeeling, from examples collected by Schlagintweit. 
A true forest butterfly, which is very local in Sikkim and only occurs in the lowlands, but on the other 
hand is very common in Assam, flying from May to August; according to Elwes ascending in Sikkim to 
4000 ft. and on the wing from April to October. According to Wood-Mason himachala but rarely leaves 
the dense forest and even then still keeps in the shadow of high trees. Bingham reports its occurrence also 
in Upper Burma. The under surface only differs from the figured upper surface in the grey-violet bordering 
of the rows of ocelli, the beginning of a grey-white oblique band on the fore wing and a large apical eye-spot 
on the hindwing, which is somewhat out of alignment, being distally placed. $ larger, in the whole distal 
part of both wings somewhat paler than the $<$ and the grey costal area more extended, himachala possesses 
the most regularly and probably also the most beautifully developed ocelli of the whole Satyrid family. 
diademoides. A. diademoides Moore approaches batmara (94 a), except that the white subapical areas of the fore¬ 
wing are absent and the upper surface of the hindwing bears very long, elongate-oval white postdiscal patch¬ 
es. diademoides appears to occur in two generations, like many Lethe, as it is reported from the months 
of March and April and then again from the autumn. From Tenasserim to North Burma, in the Karen 
batmara. and Shan Hills, from Pegu at elevations of 3—5000 ft. — batmara Fruhst. (94 a). The <$ differs from dia¬ 
demoides Moore in the shorter wings. Ground-colour dull black. The submarginal series of round white dots 
on the forewing somewhat more prominent than even in lienrici, especially the median ones much enlarged, 
whilst the dots on the hindwing are strikingly reduced, batmara is very distinct from all its allies, parti- 
cidarly in the 5 elongate, white subapical ultracellular spots of the forewing, which are also reproduced on 
the under surface (as well as all the other white markings). Length of the forewing in the 34 mm. Cen- 
henrid. tral Tonkin, Chiem Hoa; August, September. — lienrici Roll, is a distinct local race, characterized by the 
presence of an incomplete fourth row of three subapical dots on the fore wing, which is forked with the nor¬ 
mal submarginal row of dots. By the great reduction of the white tear-shaped patches of the hindwing 
henrici is shown to be a true island form. There are only two known, from Hainan. 
33. Genus: Coelites Bdv. 
A genus with but few species, on the hindwing completely agreeing with Lethe, whilst the forewing 
differs in the proximally curved middle and lower discocellular, which are of pretty equal length. Costal 
strongly swollen, about as in Tansima, palpi very long, forelegs short. True forest butterflies, as their dark 
blue, dull colouring already indicates, only distributed over Further India and Macromalayana, with the 
exception, however, of Java, and with one branch to Celebes. Two species possess large black sexual spots 
in the innermarginal fold of the hindwing. The butterflies love to rest on the ground, like many Lethe 
and Melanitis, only rising when flushed and then immediately dropping again, and always sit with the 
wings closed, scarcely distinguishable from the decaying leaves which cover the ground in the woods. 
C. nothis, whose habitat, which I ascertained to be Siam, ivas unknown before my journey to South 
Asia, falls into three local races, and a fourth may still be looked for from the district which has furnished 
nothis. Stichophthalma cambodja Hew., namely from southern Cochinchina and eventually from South Assam. — nothis 
Bdv., fairly similar in both sexes, is above characterized by wonderful, dark, glossy blue reflection, which only 
leaves the grey-blue distal part of both wings free. Hindwing with a long, black, glossy androconia-patch, which 
is covered by a tuft of long hairs. Under surface similar to that of sylvarum (94 b), but with straight brown 
median band and smaller ocelli on the underside of the hinclwing, which in the are all of the same size. Siam,
