with a broad, sharply defined band on the forewings, more or less ochre-yellow, but in the $$ always pure 
white on a red-brown ground. Underside in the <$<$ black-brown, in the $$ rufescent with greyish cellular 
and subbasal streaks. Apical ocellus on the underside of the hindwing always larger than the pointed oblong 
anal ocelli. Forewing with a small eye-spot, above whf&h there is always a tiny ocellus. Distribution extends 
from the South Moluccas to the Bismarck Archipelago, more common than constarstia in New Guinea. —- era- cramcri.

Genus: C^vlIo£»’enes Btlr. 
Differs structurally from Melanitis in the strikingly short submedian vein in the forewing of the gg, 
which is basally concavely curved and ends on the inner margin shortly before the middle. This does not apply 
to the in which the inner margin is not produced as in the Euploeas , and the submedian extends to the 
distal margin in the normal manner, being thus almost twice as long as in the <$<$. Butler has already drawn 
attention to the presence of a very large sex-mark, formed of rich, glittering, deep black scales, as a character 
differentiating it from Melanitis. The marking on the under surface somewhat recalls that of the neotropical 
Narope, being yellowish, irrorated with brown, and with white subanal spots as in Narope. Habitat: the eastern 
Himalaya. 
C. suradeva Moore (96 c) has on the upper surface in both sexes a moderately broad subapical band, suradeva. 
extending only to the middle of the wing; there are no other markings excepting the above mentioned scent 
patch. (J rather darker than $, with brighter purplish gloss. On the under surface the $ has an indistinct 
violet, the $ a diffused brownish band. A submarginal incomplete series of white spots, which are larger in the 
(J. Sikkim, rare and local at about 2000 feet. On the wing from April to June. 
C. janetae Nicev. without sex-mark on the forewing, the preapical band in the AS broader, in the janclac. 
longer, extending to the inner margin. Hindwings with yellow distal margin. Under surface darker 
and the central band larger. Taken first in Bhutan and later discovered by Doherty in the Naga Hills; 
only four specimens appear to have been identified with certainty. Niceville assumes that both species of 
Cyllogenes are single brooded. 
Genus: I*ar alitirrhoca Wood-Mas. 
An apparently archaic genus, verging upon extinction, with a name suggesting some connection with 
the South American Antirrhaea. Subcostal branch of the forewing coalescent with the costal nervnre, emit¬ 
ting four short branches towards the costal margin. The structure of the hindwing recalls that of Elymnias, 
tails long. Only one species known, from South India. 
P. marshalli Wood.-Mas. A with a rather broad, short, bright violet subvertical band on the forewing, marshalli. 
Hindwing with an elongate oval, black subanal brand. The under surface again recalls that of Narope, yello¬ 
wish with very fine brown striae and a blackish subanal mark between the median nervures. $ unknown. 
Habitat: The Ashambo Hills near Trevandrum, Travancore, South India. Flies in May. Probably single 
brooded. 
Genus: Klctogona Fldr. 
This monotypical genus is also restricted to a confined area, the South and East Celebes. Whereas 
the $ recalls the yellow Mycalesidae Lohora dinon and ophthlmicus and other yellow butterflies of the Celebes, 
such as Messaras maeonides, Clerome menado and Melanitis pyrrha, the A appears with the shape of wing and 
the livery of a Callerebia. The fine striation of the under surface points equally well to Melanitis or Elymnias. 
The cell in the forewing is broader than in Melanitis, and the discocellulars are turned more outwards, thus 
making the cell apically more pointed. The shape of the wing differs from Melanitis in being more gently roun¬ 
ded and without any projections. 
B. mycalesis Fldr. (= erebia Snell.) (94 a) A upper surface black, similar to Melanitis phedima, all mycalesis. 
wings distally somewhat paler, hind wings narrowly white bordered. A underside yellowish with whitish and 
red-brown irroration. Forewings with four, hind wings with six isolated, distinctly white centered oval eye-
