that wing arising at the lower end of the cell instead of long before 
the end. All the genera of the Amathusiinse have to my eyes a facies 
peculiar to themselves not seen in Amnosia ; besides which in all the 
genera except Xanthotsenia the discoidal cell of the hind wing is open or 
only partially closed, in the Satyrinse it is closed entirely, Amnosia 
therein agreeing with the latter. The genus at present contains four 
species, A. decora , Doubleday and Hewitson, from Java, A. eudamia , 
Grose Smith, from Sumatra, A. baluana, Fruhstorfer, from North 
Borneo, and A. decorina , Fruhstorfer, from Nias. The male of A. eu¬ 
damia differs from that sex of A. decora in having the oblique blue 
band on the upperside of the forewing broader, paler, and of a more 
silvery hue. The female of A. eudamia is dimorphic, one form having 
the band yellow, the other having it white ; specimens somewhat inter¬ 
mediate between these two forms, the band being yellowish-white, are 
sometimes obtained. Dr. Martin informs me that he has received both 
forms of A. decora from Java also. He took the first white females of 
A. eudamia ever obtained to Europe in 1889, from them the late Herr 
Honrath created the species Amnosia martini , not being aware that 
Mr. Henley Grose Smith had already described the species from speci¬ 
mens obtained by Mr. Henry 0. Forbes. Dr. Martin captured his first 
specimens himself in 1889 in Deli, south of Kampong Roemah Kenang- 
kong. It occurs also in the forests at high elevations south of Bekant- 
schan, in the Battak mountains, and on the Central Plateau, but is by 
no means common, as is the Javan species, so Mr. Fruhstorfer informs 
us, in suitable localities.

Very rare, Dr. Martin has obtained two or three specimens only. It 
may be known from the G. euptychioides of Felder, which is apparently 
confined to Borneo, by the female being devoid of all ultramarine-blue 
coloration on the upperside of the hindwing. The pupils of the ocelli 
on the underside of all the species of the genus are of a lovely iridescent 
blue colour which is only visible in some lights. This is also the case 
in the allied genus Btychandra , Felder, from the Philipines.
