 Nymphalis, Erycina, God*. 

 Dynamine, Sironia, Tiiysanotis, Htihn. 



Head moderately broad, hairy. 



Eyes oval, rather prominent, hairy. 



Maxillae rather slender, about two thirds the length of the body. 



Labial Palpi ascending, clothed with scales and hairs. First joint short, curved, its length about 

 double its breadth ; second joint four times the length of the first, narrowed a little towards 

 the base, tapering towards the apex, which is rather narrower than the base of the third 

 joint ; third joint rather longer than the first, elongate-conic, nearly acicular, the base rounded. 



Antenn.ce rather slender, grooved below, terminating in a gradually thickened obtuse club. 

 Thorax rather slender, oval, clothed with scales and hairs. 



Anterior Wings trigonate. Anterior margin nearly straight, except at the shoulder and apex, 

 where it is rounded. Outer margin slightly rounded, about two thirds the length of the anterior. 

 Inner margin slightly emarginate, somewhat longer than the outer. Costal nervure stout, 

 terminating about the middle of the anterior margin. Subcostal nervure slender ; its first and 

 second nervule thrown off near together, shortly before the end of the cell, the first almost 

 touching, or actually anastomosing with, the costal nervure not far from its termination, the 

 nervure and nervule being bent in opposite directions ; its third nervule thrown off at rather 

 less than half the distance from the cell to the apex ; the fourth much nearer to the origin of 

 the third than to the apex, the nervule terminating at the apex. Upper and middle disco-cellular 

 nervules very short. Lower disco-cellular nervule either entirely wanting or nearly atrophied, 

 four or five times the length of the middle one, curved inwards, united to the origin of the 

 third median nervule. Third median nervule but slightly curved. 



Posterior Wings subtrigonate, rounded; the anterior margin longer than the others, which are 

 nearly equal, produced at the shoulder, nearly straight. Outer margin rounded, slightly 

 sinuate. Precostal nervure simple, directed forward, nearly or cpiite reaching the anterior 

 margin. Discoidal nervure arising from the second subcostal nervule close to its origin, scarcely 

 or not at all bent at its commencement. Cell open. Third median nervule scarcely curved. 



Anterior Legs of the male slender, clothed with scales and long delicate hairs. Femur somewhat 

 thickened towards the apex. Tibia a little longer than the femur, subcylindric, slightly curved, 

 a little thickened about the middle. Tarsus two thirds the length of the tibia, subcylindric,
