H^MATERA. 231 



Genus XXX. HjEMATERA. 



Nymphalis God'. 

 Calliduxa Hilbn. 



Head moderately wide, hairy. 



Eyes oval, rather prominent, smooth. 



Maxillae rather slender, longer than the thorax. 



Labial Palpi porrect, ascending, clothed with rather long hair-like scales, not appressed ; the second 

 joint with a loose dorsal tuft. First joint subcylindric, curved ; second joint less than three 

 times the length of the first, subcylindric, rather thickened before the apex, which is obliquely 

 truncate ; third joint about equal in length to the first, elongate, ob-pyriform. 



Antenna; about two thirds the length of the body, slender, terminating in a short spatulate club, 

 grooved below. 

 Thorax oval, scaly, and hairy. 



Anterior Wings trigonate. Anterior margin considerably rounded. Outer margin slightly 

 rounded, scarcely more than half the length of the anterior. Inner margin fully three fourths 

 the length of the anterior, slightly emarginate. Costal nervure very stout at its base, 

 terminating before the middle of the anterior margin, just touching the first subcostal nervule. 

 Subcostal nervure slender ; its first nervule thrown off opposite to the upper disco-cellular 

 nervule ; its second at a point nearly opposite to the end of the costal nervure ; its third, which 

 terminates at some distance before the apex, at a point as distant from the first as that is from 

 the base of the wing ; its fourth, which is very short, and which terminates before the apex, at a 

 point nearly opposite to the end of the third ; the fifth nervule terminating just below the apex. 

 Cell open. Upper disco-cellular nervule very short, directed immediately forward. Middle 

 disco-cellular nervule very short, about equal in length to the upper. Median nervure slightly 

 swollen at the base ; its third nervule gradually curved. 



Posterior Mings obovate, the shoulder slightly produced. Anterior margin nearly straight, except at 

 the base and apex. Precostal nervule simple, curved forward, long. Costal nervure diverging 

 rather widely from the subcostal. Discoidal nervure separating from the second subcostal at a 

 short distance from its origin. Cell open. Third median nervule but little curved. 



Anterior Legs of the male slender, rather sparingly clothed with scales and slender hairs. Femur 

 about equal in length to the tibia, slightly stouter towards the apex. Tibia nearly cylindric, a 

 little thickened towards the apex, which is obliquely truncate. Tarsus cylindric ; the apex 

 obtusely pointed. 



Middle and Posterior Legs rather slender. Femora of the middle pair longer than, of the posterior
