142 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
and its allies, has an inconspicuous glandular patch on the upperside 
between the base of the median and submedian vein, the patch being clothed 
with peculiar-shaped scales, but no androconia; a corresponding nacrescent patch 
being also present on the underside of this wing; and, in another group, repre- 
sented by vasudeva, the forewing has the middle portion of the posterior margin folded 
over on to the upperside, the fold covering a glandular patch of scales, and the patch 
overlaid by an erectile tuft of enclosed hairs. Hindwing, in the males of all species, 
with a glandular patch situated within the upper half of the cell, which is overlaid 
by a lengthened tuft of erectile hairs, arising from the lower edge of the patch, the 
patch being clothed with very densely packed laxly-raised scales, which are of equal 
width throughout and have obtuse rounded tip and base, and with numerous short 
fusiform slender blackish scales (androconia), which latter have an acute point at each 
end; costal vein short, looped at its base and forming a false prediscoidal cell; the 
cell short, very broad ; upper subcostal branch emitted at about half way before end 
of the cell, and terminating on middie of the anterior margin; lower discocellular 
concave; the two upper median veinlets emitted from end of the cell. Head 
moderate sized ; body moderately robust; eyes naked, prominent; antenne slender, 
with a gradually formed indistinct club; forelegs small, those of the male hairy, 
those of the female also small but more robust, naked, cylindrical, and blunt at 
the tip; palpi elongate, porrect, clothed with short adpressed hairy-scales and 
perceptibly tufted above. 
Aputt CarerPILLaR.—Somewhat fusiform, minutely pubescent; head armed 
with two erect divergent branched-processes ; anal segment also armed with two 
longer slender setose hindwardly-projected processes. 
CurysaLis.—Suspended by the tail only; head truncated, with two small pointed 
processes in front, and a similar thoracic process above. 
Kee.— Similar (to those of the Satyrine), large, globular, translucent, hard, 
obscurely facetted, nearly as high as wide” (Doherty, J. A. S. Bengal, 1886, 109). 
GuNpRAL Craractertstics.—The males of all the known species possess, on the 
upperside of the hindwing, a basal glandular patch of scales overlaid by a tuft of erectile 
hairs. In certain species of the genus Hlymnias (undularis and its immediate 
allies) there is also an inconspicuous glandular patch on the upperside of the 
forewing, below the base of the cell, and in the genus Mimadelias, the forewing 
has the middle of the posterior margin folded over on to the upperside, the fold 
covering a glandular patch of scales, and an erectile tuft of hairs. 
The genera of Elymniine, though structurally similar as regards their venation, 
the species, as here assigned to each genus, not only exhibit, to a certain degree, the 
particular form of the wings, but in their colours, and also their peculiar style of 
markings, they accord with the group of protected butterflies, of which, respectively,
