close at the costal margin and 4 dark ring-margins on the abdomen. 
2. Genus: Aganais Bsd. 
This genus probably also has only two species, one of which is confined to Africa. The Indian spe¬ 
cies resembles certain Asota and belongs to the more common species of the Indian fauna. The genus is 
characterized by the short discal cell not reaching half the length of the wing. The 3rd palpal joint is longer 
than half the 2nd; vein 7 of the forewing from the apex of the posterior end of the accessory cell. 
A. ficus F. (20 c). Head and body pale orange-yellow, only the 3rd palpal joint grey uith a black ficus. 
apex, the base of the shoulder-covers yellow with a black spot; the abdomen at most with very faint dorsal 
spots. Forewing greyish-brown, the basal part from the costa to the lower cell-margin orange, with black 
and white markings. Hind wings orange-yellow with large, black, central and a series of submarginal spots. 
Larva velvety-brown with small, fine, white hairs on small reddish tubercles, from the 4th to the 11th ring 
lateral, yellow spots, head black, lustrous, the secondaries of a bright red, the sham feet red-brown. Distri¬ 
buted over the whole of India and Ceylon and in some places common. 
3. Genus: Peridrome Whr. 
Only one species with very deviating sexes. The very broad-winged £ has the median and parti¬ 
cularly costal parts of the forewing clad with a densely hired fur, the hair of which grow shorter towards 
the margin. In the middle of the costal area of the hindwing a black scent-spot. The 2 is immediately 
recognizable by its conspicuous marking and colouring. 
E. orbicularis Whr. (= subquadrata H .-ScJidff., longipennis H ,-Schaff.) (27 a). <$: body and bases of orbiculari 
wings orange-yellow, spotted black; wings greyish-brown, towards the margin lighter, with a dense fur in 
the costal part of the discal area. On the under surface the forewing is whitish, with an oblong, black scent- 
spot; the hindwing is orange, spotted black, in the distal part brown. The $ is quite different, body and 
proximal halves of the wings orange, spotted black, costa and distal parts of the wings dark greyish-brown, 
radiated white. — Larva black, dark-haired, across the ring-indentations greyish-yellow belts terminating in 
a similar lateral stripe. Head, first joint of the thorax, and feet yellowish-brown. The pupa is lustrous 
red-brown with an obtuse posterior end. Distributed through the whole of Northern India, Sikkim, Assam, 
Burma as far as the Philippines, and to the south as far as Sumbawa, also in the Andamans; I received 
specimens directly from Hainan and Java, but the latter habitat may be a mistake. The butterfly is 
apparently not common. 
4. Genus: Aiiagnia Whr. 
The $ of the only species belonging hereto shows a similar fur in the discal area of the forewing as the 
Peridrome, but there is also at the cell-end of the hindwing a dense, furry pad. The wings are of a peculiar 
shape, the anal angle of the forewing being obliquely cut off. 
A. subfascia Whr. (27 b). The A differs from P. orbicularis at once by the shape of the wings men- subfascia. 
tioned above, and by the peculiar pad on the hindwing. The 2 resembles that of P. orbicularis, but the 
orange on the forewing is not extended so far along the proximal margin. Indo-China, not common. 
5. Genus: Kiiplocia Hbn. 
Likewise only one species, the of which are at once discernible by the basal part of the costa in the 
forewing being turned over like a pocket ; in this fold there is a hair-brush. Colouring of the wings dusty 
grey, the body orange. The species is distributed from the Philippines to the Sunda Islands.
