A genus of “ orange tips ” which with Hebomoia practically replaces Callosune 
in the Indo-Malayan Region, and extends to some of the Austro-Malayan Islands, 
though in India and Ceylon the ranges of these three genera overlap. 
Captain E. Y. Watson, in a paper published in the Journal of the Bombay 
Natural History Society, 1894, pp. 489-527, puts all the Indian members of the 
genus Ixias into three species, making all the other described forms, varieties, 
seasonal, or local forms, of one or other of these three species (his first species, Vmatrix 
Wallace, is not Indian but from Java). We agree with Dr. A. G. Butler as expressed 
in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 1898, p. 136, that it is difficult to 
comprehend Captain Watson’s meaning, because, as is shown in this work, all the 
species herein treated with, have their own seasonal forms, and if it were for no other 
reason, for the sake of convenience, each of these species or races, or forms (or what¬ 
ever one may like to call them) must have a name; no doubt they all originated from
