Siih-Foiiiilii P'tcriiKX. 49 



iuigulated ol)li<|ue line; no thickened longitudinal streak, 

 l)ut the normal fold rather prominent. 



Body moderately robust, clothed with straggling hair ; 

 (palpi moderately long but thick and broad, aiitenme 

 moderately slender with gradually formed clul).)* 



GENUS 30. PIEEIS. Boisduval. 



Type P. Amathonte. Cramer. 



Frontwings more or less elongated, subtrianguhir ; third 

 and fourth subcostals forming a very short fork before 

 apex; first discoidal emitted from subcostal at some dis- 

 tance beyond end of cell ; upper disco-cellular half the 

 length of lower, oblique ; lower disco-cellular nearly per- 

 pendicular and feebly angulated. 



Hindwings subpyriform ; upper disco-cellular more than 

 half the length of lower, very oblique, the lower slightly 

 waved, nearly perpendicular or very oblique, and almost in 

 a line with upper : no thickened central streak as in 

 Hehomoia. 



Body less robust, hairy ; palpi moderately long, slender, 

 hairy beneath ; antennae long, with short, gradually formed 

 clul). 



Tliis group will include P. Amathonte, P. Amnrjjllis, 

 and allies, wdiicli proljably represent the unmodified type of 

 the genus. 



GENUS 31. APPIAS. Hilhncr. 



Type A. Zclmira. Cramer. 



Frontwings sulitriangular, sometimes elongated ; first 

 discoidal nervure springing from subcostal at some distance 

 beyond cell ; disco-cellulars of nearly equal length, angu- 

 lated, nearly perj^endicidar. 



Hindwings. Upper disco -cellular more than half the 

 length of lower. 



Body moderately robust, hairy; palpi long, hairy beneath; 

 antenuic long, slender with gradually formed club ; abdomen 

 of male with tuft of hair l)elow the anal valves. 



GENUS 32. PHRISSURA. BiMcr. 



, Type P. Cynis. Hewitson. 



Frontwings. Second subcostal emitted at end of cell ; 



* I feel doubtful aliout the.se characters, a specimen of an allied species 

 in Mr. Saunders's Collection has bristling palpi and slender antennte with 

 flattened club : these characters, however, may vary as in Ncpkcronia.
