some are short and thick and quite smooth, others have the head terminating in two points,

 XLIX.— Melit.?=:a. 

 c". Cell of both wings closed. 



«'. Outer margin of hindwing slightly dentate opposite median 

 nervules only. 



L. — Atella. 

 6^. Outer margin of hindwing deeply dentate throughout. 

 LI.— Cethosia. 

 i\ Second subcostal nervule of forewing emitted close to end of cell. 



a^, Male with large patches of black plush-like scales on upperside of both 

 wings. 



LIT.— Terinos. 

 i". Male unTurnished with prominent secondary sexual characters. 



a^. Third and fourth subcostal nervules of forewing emitted very 

 close together, the fourth very long. 



LIII.— Cynthia. 

 i^. Third and fourth subcostal nervules of forewing emitted far apart, 

 the fourth short. 

 a*. Antennae with club abruptly formed and pyriform. 



LIV. — Helcyra. 

 b*. Antennae with club gradually formed, long and slender. 



«*, Fourth subcostal nervule of forewing long, 

 emitted from subcostal nervure at a distance 

 from the apex of the cell equal to less than 

 two-thirds its length. 



LV.— Sephisa. 

 ^5. Fourth subcostal nervule of forewing short, 

 emitted from subcostal nervure at a distance 

 from the apex of the cell equal to three- 

 fourths its length. 



LVI.— DiLiPA. 

 d. Second* subcostal nervule of forewing emitted just before end of cell in addition to the first, 

 a'. Cell of both wings open. 



a''. Antennae long, more than half the length of the forewing. 



«■•). Fourth subcostal nervule of forewing short, emitted from subcostal 

 nervure at a distance from the apex of the cell equal to more 

 than twice its length. 



LVIL— Apatura. 



EULACURA. 



i''. Fourth subcostal nervule of forewing long, emitted from subcostal 

 nervure at a distance from the apex of the cell equal to less 

 than twice its length. 



• This character does not always hold good ; in some species of the genera Hestina, Neftis, Cyrestis and 

 Argynnis the second subcostal nervule of the forewing is emitted after the apex of the cell.
