Mr. Wood-Mason notes : " No Asiatic genus of SatyriiKE presents us with any approach to the remarkable arrangement of the two hindermost veins of the forewing ; but, in the South American genus Antirrhcca, we meet with identically the same arrangement, the first median nervule in A. archcea and its congeners running back to the inner angle, and t!ie submediaa nervure ending a considerable distance short of that angle, though not nearly so far short of it as in the Indian form. I propose the name Parantirrhaa in allusion to these remarkable points of resemblance.
