hoc. Prince of Wales Is. d. Johnstone R. (Basilisk Range) type. 3t^. 
We have seen but three males of this species. They are all in jjoor condition Avith the tornus of hind¬ 
wing more or less damaged. One example sIioavs a tail to A^ein 2 and it is quite possible tlie species has 
a second tail to A*ein la. It recalls the Indian genus Camena, but until perfect specimens are aAmilable, 
we can only leave it in Bnpala. 
Genus BINDAHARA Aloore. 
Lcpidoptera of Ceylon, i, p. Ill, 1881. 
ForeAving AAuth vein 12 reaching costa before end of cell: A’ein 11 free from A^ein 12 but bent toAvards 
It; A’ein 8 absent: A^ein 6 from upper end of cell: male AAlth a pencil of stiff hairs, directed npAvards, 
upon dorsum beneath at onetbird from base. Hind wing produced at A’ein 2 to a \’ery long stout tail: 
anal lobe well deA’eloped: male Avitli a glandular sexmark at base of vein 7. Eyes hairy. 
Type. Bhulaliara 2 ')liocides Fabrieiiis, from India. 
192. Bindahara phocides Fabricius. (India). 
This species is the only one of the genus, but lias a number of local races ranging from India to 
the Solomon Islands. The males differ chiefly in the extent of the blue area of liindAving aboA^e.
