These genera are separable liy the following characters. In Enclea 
the second subcostal venule arises just beyond the end of the discal 
cell, remote from the origin of the first subcostal, w'bile tbe first and 
second median venules arise as far apart as the second and third ; 
in Parasa the second subcostal venule arises just within the cell, 
close to the first subcostal, and the first and second median venules 
ari.se almost from a common point. Otherwise the venation is the 
same. In the fore wings the s.-c. vein is remote from the costa and 
the costal arises from its base; five s.-c. nervules, tbe origins of the 
third and fifth approximately trisecting the vein beyond the cell; 
discal cross-vein twice angulated, the independent vein arising from 
its upper third ; a bifid false discal vein ; median four-branched ; 
submedian present ; internal bifid at base. The hind wings have the 
same venation in both genera. 
Mr. E. L. Graef has very kindly loaned me his specimens of these 
genera which comprise nearly all the species, and, from an examina- 
tion of them, I have been enabled to complete this paper. The 
species mav be separated in the following manner: 
Thorax l>rown Genus Eiiclea. 
Green of primaries not covering cell. 
Spots rounded, discal dot round liana Dyar. 
.Spots angular, discal dot elongated. 
A ferruginous patch beyond subterminal line I’orriigiiiea Pack. 
No such patch eippiis Cram. 
Green confined to small basal and subapical spots. ..var. llelpliiiiii Bd. 
Basal patch larger, bifid var, quertieti H.-S. 
Patches connected by a row of dots var. iiiterjocta Dyar. 
Green forming continuous band var. monitor Pack. 
Green of primaries covering cell. 
Sinus above internal margin distinct, filled in with rust-red. 
Discal dot present elliotii Pears. 
Discal dot absent pjriiulata Clem. 
Sinus obsolescent, not discolored inoi^ia Harv. 
Thorax green Genus Parasa. 
Breadth of green liand over one-third the length of costa viriilns Beak. 
Less than one-third ciiloris H.-S.
