Foretving with costa nearly straight in (J, slightly arched in 9» 

 iipex acute, less so in ^, outer margin straight in (J, slightly 

 convex in (J, inner margin straight. Subcostal nervure with 

 three branches, 1st anastomosed with costal nervure except for a 

 very short basal portion; 2nd given off close to 1st, 3rd nearer 

 apex than end of cell, subcostal ending just above apex, costal 

 •ending on costa well beyond end of cell; upper discoidal given off 

 before end of cell, running straight to outer margin, lower dis- 

 coidal from end of cell; discocellulars in a straight line; 2nd 

 median given off much nearer end of cell than to 1st, 1st and 2nd 

 running straight to outer margin; submedian nearly straight. 

 H'lnclwing with costa much arched basally, then straight, apex 

 round, outer margin nearly straight, with a short tail to 1st 

 median nervule, inner margin slightly convex. Costal nervure 

 much arched at base, ending close to apex; 1st subcostal emitted 

 at \ before end of cell; discoidal nearly straight; upper disco- 

 cellular very oblique, straight ; lower discocellular upright, 

 straight; 1st median emitted at \ before end of cell, 2nd median 

 almost at end of cell; submedian straight; internal slightly bent, 

 long. A^itenmti J length of costa, distinctly ringed with white, 

 ending in a spatulate club. Paljn longer in 9, 2nd joint long, 

 hairy, 3rd joint short. Eyes small, hairy. Type U. onycha, Hew., 

 { = L.miskini, Luc). Hewitson only described this genus from 

 a female specimen in a line or two. 



The genus is closely allied to Nacad-itha, but in that genus the 

 1st subcostal and costal separate again before reaching costa. 

 The single tail to the hindwing is very different from the 

 filamentous tail as in Lampides, Nacaduba, etc., being shorter, and 

 highly ciliated at base and along both sides, giving a blunt 

 appearance to it. 



I am able to recognise two distinct species that should be 

 placed in this genus.
