E. lunatus Leech and its extreme dry form enervata Stick, were dealt with in Vol. I, p. 157, the former 
figured on PL 49 b, the latter on PI. 49 c; Habitat West China, Omeishan and the Mission stations in Szetchuan.

the following description; Form large, thinly covered with black and white hairs. Ground colour dark green. 
The head reddish, with two short processes, the abdomen with two anal processes. Pupa like that of Ama- 
thusia phidippus, the head with long point. 
In the eminently readable work “Kaiser Wilhelmsland” published by Herder in Freiburg 1911, Dr. 
Eugen Werner writes on p. 170: ,,The Taenaridae are like delicate, silent woodland spirits in the mouldy 
smelling dusk of the primeval woods, rarely are they seen in the open country, they avoid the brightness; but 
they appear in friendly company where murmuring brooks twine through the gravelly soil beneath gigantic tree 
ferns, where the bright sunshine only plays shyly, trembling upon the thousand leaves and buds. On brown 
bark of the stems, on rotting wood, on over-ripe fruits of the palm, which decay unused, there they assemble their 
swarms. They sip food by the way, and drink drops of dew from the leafy shrubs. Disturbed by the form 
of the approaching wanderer, they fly up ghostlike, only speedily to sit down again at their richly decked table. 
They are wonderful fellows, these Taenaridae. Delicate as tissue-paper, often gleaming like mother of pearl, 
their wings glide softly and silently through the steaming warmth of the woods. But they are chiefly remark¬ 
able for the goggle-eyes, which they bear on the underside of their finely rounded hindwings. From one to 
five of these strange, brown, yellow and blue rings decorate the white field, and we shall hardly go wrong, if 
we see in them means of causing fright, which serve to intimidate lizards and other pursuers, so that they hesi¬ 
tate for a moment at least, and so enable the butterfly to escape. 
The most prominent of the Taenarid community is Morphotenaris schonbergi Fruhst., remarkable alike 
for its size, the beauty of the form of its wings and of its scales, which appears to be distributed along the whole 
Finisterre mountains as far as the Sattelberg; it is nowhere abundant, and in consequence of its strong flight 
is not easy to obtain.” 
Page 440. Thaumantis odada. In the generic diagnosis there is omitted the large black brand on the 
anterior half of the cell in the hindwings, which varies in size in the various races. The larva, discovered 
by Dr. Piepers in Java, is very similar to that of Discophora celinde Stoll, being like it, very large and den¬ 
sely covered with hair. The hairs on the thorax are red, on the other segments black. Head black with two 
short, stout horns. Abdomen terminating in two short tails. Pupa shaped as that of D. celinde, with a long 
point. I have in my collection a $ of Th. odana from West Java, form, albocostalis form, nov., which has along albocostalis.

branch of the collective species, and differs from odana Godt. from the west of the island as follows; The white 
apical spot is decidedly enlarged, notwithstanding the small size of the specimens. The blue central band 
has, especially in the $, an almost pure white, very broad longitudinal striation. The blue iridescence is as a 
rule less extended proximally. Underside: the transverse band on the forewings is present as a distinct quadrate 
spot before the third median, and also broader throughout. The streaks in the cell of forewings, as well as in the 
subbasal area and beyond the cell in the hindwings more prominent and more grey-white — panwila subsp. panwila.

size, darker under surface, especially of the hindwings of the $$, which have a violet instead of white-grey sub¬ 
marginal zone and a more reddish ochre-yellow subanal suffusion.
