In the following species the anal angle projects a little on the hindwing. 
Z. postexcisa Hmps. (96 a). Body with similar spots as in indica. Forewing with small round bluish- 
black spots. The few spots in the cell and towards the distal margin paler, the rows below the cell more 
intense. Hindwing with pale small postcellular spots of a variable number. The spots at the distal margin 
more distinct, particularly before the anal angle where the indentation is almost as strong as in indica-(J. 
50 —52 mm. Ceylon, Kina-Balu. — Together with the q mentioned just now from the Kina-Balu a § 
was captured, which probably belongs to it, although its size is but little larger (57 mm). The spots on the 
forewing are nowhere faded. The hindwing shows the same small number of faded postcellular spots as in 
the cC Beneath at the costal margin there are the same spots. The distal-marginal spots are large and round 
on both sides. 
Z. caudata Joic. & Talb. All the spots on the forewing faded except those at the costal and distal margins. 
The spots in the cell round, those behind them oval, forming transverse bands. Marginal spots large, especially 
one at the apex. Spots of hindwing very indistinct. One is in the lower cell-end and a few are below it. 
More intensely black before the anal angle at the margin, and 2 smaller spots at veins 2 and 3. 50 mm. 
Dutch New Guinea. 
T. aeglospila Trnr. is also similar to postexcisa (96 a). Spots on thorax and abdomen normal. Fore¬ 
wing scantily scaled, with numerous black spots with a green gloss; a row of spots at the costal margin, 
the last spot being larger. Three rows of spots in the cell and one row each between the veins, at the inner 
and distal margins. Small marginal spots on the hind wing are united near the anal angle into one large 
spot. 45—80 mm. Queensland. From the description it cannot be decided whether this species differs in fact 
from caudata. 
Z. lineata sp. n. (96 b) is the last species with a projecting anal angle on the hindwing. The thorax 
seems to have only two spots in front. Abdomen with the normal dorsal rows and 2 lateral rows. Forewing 
yellowish ( ?rubbed) at the costal margin and the lower inner-marginal vein. The spots at the costal margin 
and base deep black, also the streaks at the inner margin and anal angle. Round spots in the basal part 
of the cell, distally streaks, both faded. Faded black more or less continuous streaks behind the cell and 
below it, but no oval spots as in caudata. Faded spots above the lower cellular vein on the hindwing. Fine 
streaks below veins 2—4, no round spots. 60 mm. Kina Balu. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
Hindwing rounded, in the following species. 
Z. nmltistrigata Mr. (96 c). Thorax with black spots, abdomen blackish with brownish-white seg¬ 
mental margins. Forewing with numerous bluish-black spots and streaks. Thicker spots are at the base, in 
the centre of the cell, at its end, between veins 5 and 6, and at the anal angle; some are also fused, especially 
in the centre of the cell. Hindwing with spots in the cell, behind it and below it, but not at the inner 
margin. Marginal spots on both wings mostly intense. The spots on the hindwing of the $ are greatly reduced. 
55—105 mm. North India. 
3. G r o u p. Vein 6 of forewing arises from the a r e o 1 e. 
Z. coffeae Nietn. (= oblita Swh., roricyanea Wkr.) (96 b). Thorax with black spots. Abdomen with 
dorsal and lateral spots. Forewing all around the margins with small black spots, those on the wing itself 
faded. Hindwing with marginal dots. The $ shows more distinct spots on the forewing and a somewhat greater 
number of spots on the hindwing. 40 -46 mm. India and Indo-China, Ceylon, Borneo, Java. 
Z. reticulata Joic. & Talb. Similar to coffeae (96 b). The faded spots on the forewing are all larger and 
more or less united into transverse lines (thus they may be no “spots” at all but streaks). Hindwing with many 
faded spots, all being isolated. Besides marginal spots at the ends of veins lb 7. <$ 40 mm. Dutch New 
Guinea. 
Z. btirgersi sp. n. (96 b) differs from the slightly yellowish coffeae in the white iridescent ground¬ 
colour. Black dots on the forewing at the costal margin, the base of the wing and the distal margin. Be¬ 
sides somewhat obsolete streaks in the cell and behind it, no spots, only the streaks at the inner margin 
more distinct again. The streaks on the left forewing of the type extend much more regularly than on the 
right fore wing, so that we may assume that reticulata will also be variable. Hindwing white with strong 
marginal spots. Thorax without spots, abdomen with subdorsal stripes. 34 mm. Kaiserin Augusta River 
(New Guinea). Type in the Berlin Museum. 
Z. neuropunctata sp. n. (96 b). Body dingy white, abdomen with dorsal dots and perhaps also lateral 
ones. Wings hyaline White with black dots at the costal margin. Scattered dots on the partition-veins in the 
cell and on veins 2—10, besides marginal dots. In some places the dots are connected by fine black scales. 
No marking noticeable on the hindwing, only a little black before the anal angle. 40 mm. Kutei (South- 
Eastern Borneo). Type in the Berlin Museum. 
The two following species scarcely belong to Zeuzera, but they cannot be surely ranged under any genus, the fust 
species might belong to Dudgeonea, the second to Azygophleps. 
TL. pentasema Lower. Thorax greyish-brown. Forewing whitish ash-grey, dusted with rusty brown. 
Whitish from the base to the centre of the wing excepting the costal margin, veins black. A rather large
