LAOGONA. 191 



furnished with long delicate hairs, least numerous on the tarsus. Tibia much shorter than the 

 femur, equal in length to the tarsus. Tarsus four-jointed ; the first cylindric, spiny below, the 

 spines small, the apex unarmed ; second joint about one fourth the length of the first, armed 

 with a few small spines below, and two stronger ones at the apex ; third and fourth joints 

 combined scarcely longer than the second, both armed with two spines at the apex, those of the 

 fourth having a tuft of hair at the base. 

 Middle and Posterior Legs with the tibia? and tarsi of equal length, shorter than the femora, which 

 are rather stout. Tibia spiny within except at the base ; the spines short, slender, arranged in 

 two nearly regular series. Tarsi spiny below and at the sides, except the fifth joint, which 

 wants the lateral series of spines ; spines of the lower surface in two somewhat regular series. 

 First joint longer than the rest combined ; second joint less than one third the length of the 

 first ; third joint rather more than half the length of the second, longer than the fourth ; fifth 

 joint longer than the second. Claws short, curved, grooved below. Paronychia bilaciniate. 

 Outer lacinia slender, pointed, as long as the claw. Inner lacinia shorter, slender, pointed. 

 Pulvillus jointed, shorter than the claws. 

 Abdomen about two thirds the length of the inner margin of the posterior wing. 



Larva and Pupa unknown. 



From the preceding genus Laogona may be known by its more robust structure, the different form of its wings, and 

 their different neuration. It is much more nearly allied to Eurema, which it represents in India, the Indian 

 Islands, and in China. 



Of its larva, pupa, or habits, nothing is recorded. 



The only two species yet known are insects of moderate size, with the upper surface of the wings fuscous, banded 

 longitudinally and transversely with fulvous in the males ; the lower surface being pale, variously clouded and marked 

 with brown and black, and marked on the posterior wings in one species with bluish white, in the other with green, 

 spots. The female of Laogona Hyppocla has the fulvous colour of the upper surface replaced by white. The female 

 of the second species is unknown to me.
