10, arise abundantly apart from each other. Still in occa- 
sional specimens 7 and 10 arise very close together; thus 
in one specimen of ZL. xthiops and two of epiphron, they 
arise together but immediately separate. In #. evias as a 
rule they arise apparently close together. A specimen of 
E. gorge has 6 rising out of 7, and so forth. 
Then in £. medusa the majority of examples appear to 
have 10 well separate from 7, but in not a few 10 arises 
out of 7, and even some little distance along it. 
A similar condition obtains in L. hewitsonii, epispodea, 
sibo (ocnus), radians, kalmuka and meta. In these the 
European neuration is less frequent than in E. medusa, 
and not unfrequently 10 rises a good way along 7. In 
the female this is much more usually the case, and 6 also 
often rises out of 7. 
In £. turanica, edda, tristis, dabanensis, tundra, discot- 
dalis, fasciata, parmenro, afra, 10 always rises a good way 
along 7. 
Yet by clasp form £. medusa is not so near to any of 
these as they are to each other, and the above from 
E. epispodea to discordalis belong to one group. L. hewit- 
son and fasciata, EL. afra and parmenio are different, each 
species almost forming a group by itself. 
Section B may therefore be divided into two parts by 
the venation, a division with venation varying between 
the European and Asiatic type and a division with purely 
Asiatic venation. It may also be divided into two by 
possessing the clasps (1) with some resemblance to those 
of group II. in outline, (2) of other forms. 
Group VIII. There is a considerable sameness of the 
clasp form throughout the group, which is thus a very 
natural one; the variation is from a type generally 
resembling that of group II, but with little indication of a 
division of the style-bearing margin into head and lobe, 
and with this margin occurring as an oblique truncation 
of the shaft in the lobe region, and the head and neck 
abbreviated. See remarks under Group II. 
1. EL. epispodea (Fig. 43). The clasp of 
this species most resembles the form found in group II; 
the body is curved forwards so that the style-covered 
margin is parallel to its axis, or nearly so. There is some 
variation, especially in the size of the styles, which are in 
several rows.
