 TiMETES and Makpesia E. 



Doubleday., List. Lep. B. Mus. 



Body rather small, woolly ; hind wings with long tails. 

 Head nearly as broad as the thorax, hairy. 



Eyes prominent, naked. 



Antennw about half the length of the fore wings, terminated by a rather long and gradually formed club, slightly 

 grooved along the inside. 



Labial Palpi about t\\'ice the length of the head, directed upwards, but not extending above the level of two thirds of 



the heio-ht of the eyes, porrected in front, and forming when applied together a conical beak, rather flattened 



beneath, and clothed with short scaly hairs ; the under side of the basal joint, and the extremity of the second 



joint above, with much longer hairs ; terminal joint not distinct except on denuding the palpus, acute at the tip. 



Thorax of moderate size, rather thickly clothed with woolly hairs. 



Fore Wings rather elongate-trigonate. The fore margin more or less rounded. The outer margin about three 

 fourths the length of the fore margin, more or less sinuated, and more or less angulated below the apex ; the 

 angle being very strong in T. Coresia, T. Eleucha, and especially in T. Thetis, whilst this margin is nearly straight 

 in T. Harmonia and T. Orsilochus. Costal vein slender, extending to about one half the length of the costa. Sub- 

 costal vein slender ; its first branch arising at nearlj" one third of the length of the wing from the base ; second 

 branch arising at about the same distance beyond the origin of the upper disco-cellular ; the third branch 

 arising at about three fourths, and the fourth branch arising at about seven eighths, of the length of the wing. 

 Upper disco-cellular nearly obliterated, forming the base of the upper discoidal vein ; middle disco-cellular also 

 converted into the base of the lower discoidal vein ; lower disco-cellular vein also obsolete, the discoidal cell 

 being quite open. Median vein rather strong, its third branch arched for more than lialf its length. "=^\^ 



Hind Wi7igs elongated, produced into a long straight tail, traversed by the outer branch of the median vein;^9^p 

 anal angle also produced into a short tail at the extremity of the inner branch of the median vein. Precostal 

 vein forming a short curved spur. Costal vein much curved at its base, then straight to the outer angle of the 

 wing. The outer margin slightly sinuated. Subcostal vein branched at a very short distance from its origin. 

 Discoidal vein curved at its base, and united with the subcostal close beyond its branch, without any distinct 

 disco-cellular vein, the cell being entirely open. 



Fore Legs of the male minute and pectoral. The femur clothed beneath with long, loose, white, silky hairs. 

 Tibia nearly equal in length to the femur, slightly curved, slender, and clothed with long thin hairs, as well as 

 the tarsus, which is not above one fourth of the length of the tibia, simple and exarticulate. Fore Legs of the 

 female one third longer than those of the male, very slender. Femur nearly straight, gradually attenuated, 

 being thickest towards the base, clothed with fine scales, and furnished beneath with a row of long fine hairs 

 set on transversely. Tibia equal in length to the femur, nearly straight, clothed, as well as the tarsus, with 

 very fine scales, rather dilated at the apex. Tarsus about two thirds the length of the tibia, much compressed 

 at the extremity into a rounded palette twice the width of the base of the tarsus, armed with six pairs of small 

 spines, each joint, except the first and last, being indicated by two pairs of these spines set on the edge wide 

 apart ; terminal joint without claws or their appendages. 



Four Hind Legs long and slender, covered with fine scales. The tibia rather shorter than the femur, also scaly, 

 and with a few minute spines arranged in a double series. Tarsus longer than the tibia, with four rows of 

 minute spines on the under side. Ungues small, but extending beyond the dorsal, setose, and terminal flap of 

 the last joint of the tarsus, much curved. Paronychia bilobed and setose, the outer lobe largest and curved. 

 Pulvillus very short, wide, and leathery. 



Caterpillar cylindrical, with two long horns on the head, and four long erect spines on the back. 

 Chrysalis with long filiform appendages at the sides of the head and thorax, and shorter ones down the back.
