Distinguished strueturally fiDin Cofnotepliria by the long. ])orreet palpus, with conspicuous. rather 

 robust 3rd Joint. Usually also easy to reeognize superficially by the unieolorous. very gcnerally orange-yellow 

 hindwing and a characteristic pattern of the forewing, especially in the o^. Se.xual dimor])hism, at least in the 

 ocdasata group, very pronounced (see below). Antenna of o simple or shortly ciliated. Diseoeeliulars of the 

 hindwing biangulate. Genotype: aversa S/rinh.. in whieh species a tendency l'or the termen of the forewing 

 to be concave anteriorly and angled in the middle is earried further than in most of tlie speeies. Distribution 

 chiefly Afriean. Indian and Malayan. but a few Pa])uaii speeies hasc also ln'eii referred herc.

 spot in cellule 6 stronger and darker than that of eellule 7 (in aomflam they are eciiial. eonflent and more red-
