SATYRUS FAB. 



.Eyes naked. Tibia long, with a spur at the end. One or two 

 veins on the primaries inflated. Wings wide, limb of the prima- 

 ries seldom rounded, that of the secondaries dentate. Upper side 

 brown or black, usually with a broad whitish or yellowish band 

 before the limb, and with ocelli in the primaries. Under side of 

 secondaries marbled. 



[Westwood, in second volume of Doubleday's, Hewitson's, and 

 Westwood's Genera, proposes to limit the genus Satyrus to those 

 species generally of large size, which are distinguished by having 

 the costal and median veins of the primaries dilated at the base, 



the sub-median being simple, and by having the eyes naked
