‘“€ FORELEGS, slender and evidently smaller than the rest, but nearly alike in the sexes, 
used for walking, scaly ; tarsus of the mea/e long, exarticulate; that of the female jointed like 
in the hindlegs. FOREWING, with the subcostal nervure emitting only two, or three 
[very rarely four] branches ; the discoidal cell generally narrow owing to the distance between 
the costal and subcostal nervures ; [the upper disco-cellular nervule wanting]. All but 
one or two of small size. Bopy, rather slender [except in the genus Zifhyra, Westwood] ; 
antenne, short, often ringed with white, with an elongate distinct club ; Aa/pi [usually] elongate, 
terminal joint slender, horizontal, and nearly naked. HINDWING, scarcely channelled to 
receive the abdomen, often with one or more slender tails ; preecostal nervure apparently 
wanting.” (Marshall and de Nicéville, Butt. of India, vol. i, p. 18.) 
‘€ INSECTS [usually] of small size. Bopy, generally comparatively slender. HEAD, moderate- 
sized, often with a small tuft of hairs at the base of the antennee. “yes often hirsute, Antenne 
generally shorter than half the length of the costa of the forewing, often ringed with white, 
and terminated by an elongated distinct club. /a/fi [very variable in length, often longer in 
the female than in the male, extremely short and small in some genera, ze, Rafa/a and 
Liphyra, very long in other genera, z.¢., Cheritra, Drupadia and allies, and Loxura] rather 
elongate, terminal joint slender, horizontal, nearly naked. orelegs evidently smaller in pro- 
portion than the rest, nearly alike in size and shape in the two sexes, not [very rarely] brush-like 
in the males, but furnished with a long exarticulate tarsus, having several curved 
hooklets at the tip, distinct from the ungues. Forelegs of the female with the tarsus articulated 
like the hindlegs. Hinadlegs slender, scaly ; hind tibia with only one pair of spurs, sometimes 
very minute ; ungues minute, scarcely exserted. FOREWING, with two or three branches only 
[rarely four] to the subcostal nervure. Discoidal cell [closed], generally narrow, owing to the 
distance between the costal and subcostal nervures ; [the upper disco-cellular nervule wanting ] ; 
wings closed over the back when the insect is at rest. HINDWING. with the outer margin 
often produced into one or more slender tails near the anal angle. Abdominal margin 
scarcely forming a groove for the reception of the abdomen. Przecostal nervure apparently 
wanting ; discoidal cell closed by very slender disco-cellular nervules.” 
“ Larva, short, broad, flattened [often arched], usually naked, [usually] resembling a 
wood-louse ; head very minute ; occasionally finely hairy, or with the surface wrinkled, 
[rarely furnished with long fleshy tubercles, or with bunches of short bristles ; also with 
certain organs on the eleventh and twelfth segments, that onthe eleventh when present 
exuding a liquid which is probably sweet and always eagerly sought by attendant ants ; those
