Abstract
The genus Aemona Hewitson is revised and two species, A. amathusia and A. lena, are recognized. Two subspecies of the former, tonkinensis and cochinensis, are synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies of A. amathusia. Five subspecies of the latter, haynei, kalawrica, karennia, kentunga and salweena, are synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies of A. lena. These are considered merely variations within each species. A new genus Allaemona which is most closely related to Aemona is established for Al. prasopsuki sp. nov.
