Twaco.—Male. Wings broad; woolly at their base. Forewing subtriangular ; 
costa well arched, apex obtuse, exterior margin slightly scalloped and convex; 
costal vein much swollen at the base; the median and submedian much less so; 
cell broad ; discocellulars angled close to subcostal and before the middle, radials 
from the angles. No androconial patch present. Hindwing short; exterior margin 
convex, scalloped; cell short, broad; first subcostal emitted at some distance 
before end of the cell; discocellular outwardly-oblique and angular in the middle, 
radial from the angle; two upper medians emitted from lower end of the cell, 
upper median much curved. Thorax hairy; palpi long, slender, hairy in front, 
apical joint somewhat cylindrical; legs rather long, slender, middle and hind 
femora slightly hairy beneath ; antennz slender and with a well-formed, elongated, 
slightly grooved club; eyes hairy.

Imaco.—Male. Upperside ochreous-yellow, suffused with ochreous-brown at 
the base of the forewing, and darker on the hindwing; cilia yellowish-white 
alternated with dark brown. Yorewing with a black dentate discocellular bar, and 
an ochreous-black exterior marginal band, the inner edge of which commences on 
the costa about one-third before the apex, and curves exteriorly half round a black 
white-pupilled subapical spot, and thence attenuates to the posterior angle; no 
androconia present. Hindwing with a broad dusky ochreous-brown exterior 
marginal band with waved inner edge, before which are three or four discal black 
spots, each with a minute white pupil, the middle spot being the largest, and the 
anterior the smallest. Underside. Forewing paler ochreous, markings as on upper- 

Historica, Nore on rae Genus Amucera.—This genus was founded in 1867 by Mr. Butler, with 
megera as the indicated type. As this species (megwra) became the type of Westwood’s genus Lastom- 
mata, in 1840, it cannot therefore be taken for the type of Amecera. All the other species mentioned 
by Mr. Butler, under Ameeera, are strictly congeneric with megera, except Hversmannt and Baldiva, the 
latter species (Baldiva) being congeneric with Semele—the type of Hiibner’s genus HuMENIS—consequently 
Eversmanni is the only species remaining in Amecera, and must therefore be retained to represent the 
genus. 
The Pap. Climene, Fabricius, of S. E. Europe, being congenerie with Hversmannt, will also come into 
Amecera, as here defined.
