THE TRIBE OF THE COPPERS 



The members of this tribe are well characterized by 

 their name, for most of them show on the upper wing 

 surface tones of coppery brown, more or less marked 

 around the margin with darker shades. On the under 

 side of the tarsi there are numerous spines in irregular 

 clusters. In the chrysalis there are curious hair-like 

 projections on the skin, which are short and shaped like 

 tiny toadstools or mushrooms.
