EUBAGIS. 245 
Eubagis seems divisible into two sections, which have almost the value of genera. The 
section in which the sexes are coloured alike and have a comparatively long upper 
discocellular nervure to the primaries, the middle discocellular merged in the lower 
radial, and no lower discocellular at all, besides peculiarities in the secondary 
sexual male organs, is that to which the name Eudbagis strictly applies, EL. athemon 
being the typical species. For the other section Hiibner’s name Dynamine may be 
used, the typical species being LE. postverta. In this section the sexes are divergent in 
colour, the upper discocellular is short, and there is a feeble lower discocellular, besides 
other characters. As there is much in common between these two sections, we hesitate 
to separate them, and follow the usual practice of keeping them in one genus, for 
which, as is our custom, we prefer to use Boisduval’s name Hudbagis, so well defined 
by Doubleday, instead of that of Hiibner. 
In Lubagis (E. postverta) the subcostal of the primaries emits two branches before 
the end of the cell, the third branch a long way beyond it; the chord of the middle 
discocellular is in a line with the short upper discocellular, that of the atrophied lower 
discocellular, which meets the median nervure at the origin of the second branch, is at 
right angles to the subcostal. In L. theseus the upper discocelJular is much longer 
than in £. postverta, the middle discocellular is merged in the lower radial, which is 
nearly straight from where it parts from the upper radial, and there is no trace of a 
lower discocellular. The front legs in the male (£. postverta) are slightly hairy ; 
coxee >+ femur + trochanter; tibia = femur; tarsus (single-jointed) =3 tibia. Eyes 
hairy. Antenne with 31 joints (37 in H. theseus), the terminal 11 forming a moderate 
club. Palpi slightly hairy, terminal joint short; middle joint rather stout and long, 
somewhat swollen in the middle. The male secondary sexual organs have a well- 
developed tegumen terminating in a sharp point; the harpagones have two recurrent 
hooks, one near the distal end, the other on the ventral edge. In £. theseus these 
hooks are absent. 
a. Sexes nearly alike; inner area of both wings white.
