with some dark irroration; inner line brown, somewhat excurved, from a black costal dot; a double black 
cell spot; median line brownish, excurved beyond the cell; outer line slight, brownish, faintly defined on outer 
side by whitish and with a black spot at costa, oblique from costa to vein 6, then lunulate dentate with 
white points on the veins, incurved below vein 4; a very faint pale subterminal line; hindwing similar; 
the outer wavy dark line with a prominent whitish spot at inner margin. The type of atricejis from Ceylon;

Tongue present; frons smooth; palpi upcurved in front of face, the second and third segments 
both smooth; antennae of $ ciliated; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests; neuration nor¬ 
mal; underside of wings of <$, except terminal area, clothed with rough hair. Type Z. rorata Walk. 
Sect. I. Fore and m i d t i b i a e of <3 with thick fringe of hair on outerside. 
Z. vacillans Walk. (= niviapex Walk., selenicula Snell.) (23 c, d). Forewing chocolate red; the costal vacillans. 
area, extending to inner margin near base, Avhite thickly irrorated with brown except along lower edge; 
inner line slight, brown marked externally with white, from the lower edge of costal area to inner 
margin; a white striga on discocellular; outer line dark, outwardly defined by white, acutely angled on vein 6 
and slightly excurved at 7, then incurved; some white between the angle and the white subterminal line; 
this is preceded by a small black spot below costa, is angled inwards on vein 7, excurved below 7 and at 
middle, and reduced to points in lower half; an oblique white mark at apex and small triangular white 
spot below vein 6; hindwing chocolate red, the base white; an outer and a subterminal line defined out¬ 
wardly by grey; — in the ab. aequalis Walk, there is no triangular white spot on termen of forewing below aequalis. 
vein 6; — the ab. irrecta Walk. (= inaequalis Walk.) (23cl) has the ground colour oclireous tinged with rufous irrecta. 
forewing with the white costal area often nearly uniformly suffused with brown. The types of irrecta and nivi¬ 
apex both from Ceylon; of vacillans, aequalis, and inaequalis all from Borneo; of selenicula Snell, from Ce¬ 
lebes; recorded besides from the Punjab, Sikkim, Assam, Bombay, Burma, Singapore. 
Sect. II. Fore and mid tibiae of without fringe of hair. 
Z. reticulata Moore (23 d). Forewing pale rufous; the lines white; subbasal line bent inwards to base reticulata. 
of inner margin; some pink and black before it on costa; a violaceous white inner band, with dark sti'iae 
on it from costa, and in and below cell representing the inner line, below cell oblique to base of inner margin, 
with white suffusion beyond it in cell and on costal area to beyond middle; a small white spot in cell; 
reniform triangular, inwardly oblique, white edged, with a curved white streak from its upper end to the angle 
of subterminal line above vein 6, representing part of the outer line, which becomes faint and oblique 
to vein 4, below which it is bent inwards to lower edge of reniform, then white and vertical to inner mar¬ 
gin; subterminal line slender, white, angled outwards at 7 and inwards above 6, then excurved and below 
4 indistinct; with white suffusion beyond it between veins 7 and 5; small triangular brown spots before 
termen from below apex to vein 5, defined on inner side by a white line; hindwing pale rufous, the 
base white; an oval cellspot defined by white; the rest as in forewing. Occurs in the Pimjab and in Sikkim, 
N. India. 
Z. decorata Sivinh. (23 d). Forewing pale rufous; subbasal line whitish, waved, from costa to base of decorata. 
inner margin, a black dot on its outer edge below costa, and some whitish beyond it on inner margin; 
inner line white, angled outwards below costa and at vein 1, with a black dot beyond it at costa 
and striae in and below cell, followed by a white patch reaching from costa to submedian fold, then by the reni¬ 
form, which is defined by white, triangular, inwardly oblique; outer line white, very oblique to vein 6, then 
indicated by black spots, incurved slightly at cell fold, and below vein 6 bent inwards to lower edge of reniform; 
subterminal line white, angled outwards at vein 7, incurved in cell fold, excurved at middle, then oblique; 
apical area white; some blackish dots before termen; hindwing pale rufous the base white; cell striga whitish; 
median line white, slightly curved; outer line ill-defined, blackish, outwardly white edged, angled outwards
