96 NYMPHALID^. SATYRINiE. 



Eey to the Indian Genera of SATYHIN^. 



A. With the apex of the cell of the hindwing at, or close to, the origin of the second median branch, 



usually appearing as if the latter were a continuation of the lower disco-cellular nervule.* 

 <i. With the palpi clothed in front with short dense af<p7esscd hairs. 



rt'. With the costal nervure only of forewing scarcely perceptibly swollen at base ; 

 the eyes naked. 

 a". The hindwing short ; rounded, without ocelli. 



V. — Zethera. 

 b". The hindwing rather elongate, rounded, with ocelli on both sides. 



VI. — Anadbbis. 

 b^. With the costal nervure of forewing perceptibly, the subcostal and median scarcely 

 perceptibly swollen at the base ; the eyes naked. 



VII. — CCELITBS. 



b. With the palpi clothed in front with moderate or rather %\vax\. porrect hairs. 



rt'. With the median and submedian nervures usually much swollen at base in addition 

 to the costal nervure, but variable ; eyes of Orsotricena naked, of all others 

 hairy : males with one or more scent-pouches on the wings. 



VIII.— MVCALESIS.* 



if. With the costal nervure of forewing perceptibly, the subcostal and median scarcely 

 perceptibly sA'ollen at base. 

 a-. The eyes naked ; the hindwing caudate ; of large size. 



IX.— Neorina. 

 b'. The eyes hair}'. 



a^. The hindwing usually angulate, often caudate ; the underside much 

 variegated. 



X.— Lethe. * 



XI. — ZOPHOESSA. 



XII.— Neope. 

 b^. The hindwing rounded or slightly quadrate ; the markings of the 

 underside much the same as on the upperside. 



XIII.— Oringma. 

 XIV. — Rhai'hicbra. 

 c'. With the costal nerv'ure of forewing greatly, and the median slightly swollen 

 at base. The eyes hairy. 



XV.— Parargs. 

 XVI. — Amecera. t 



B. With the apex of the cell of the liindiuing considerably beyond the origin of the second median branch, 



except in Ragadia ; the eyes in all naked. 



a. With the palpi clothed in front with long porrect hairs. 



rt*. . With the costal and median nervures of the forewing swollen at the base, 

 except in Aulocera, and in many species of Ypthima, in which the swelling 

 is scarcely perceptible in the median nervure. 

 a=. With the abdominal margin of hindwing not incised, the outer margin 

 scalloped. 



XVII. — HiPPARCHIA. 



i*. With the nervures scarcely swollen at base ; otherwise as in Hipparchta. 



XVIII. — AULOCBRA. 



c^. With the abdominal margin of hindwing incised ; the outer margin 

 scalloped near anal angle. 



XIX.— Epinephble. 

 rf'. With the abdominal margin slightly incised ; the outer margin even. 

 The second subcostal branch in the /oretuing originating beyond 

 the cell, 



XX.— Ypthima. 



b^. With only the costal nervure swollen at the base. 



a-. With the wings rather elongate, somewhat denuded of scales. 



• See separate keys to the subgenera of Mycnlesis and Lethe, in which the variations which occur in the 

 position of Ihe apex of the cell in the hindwing are pointed out. 



t The form of the cell in the hindwing of Avtece-'a is almost identical with that o^ Nissanga, a subgenus of 

 Mycalisis ; iii both the origin of the second median nervule is beyond the apex of the celL
