Nymphalis p. God'. 



SymphjEdea, Euthalia, and Cymothoe, Ifiibn. 



Body more or less robust ; antenna; long and straight ; wings large, generally of dull colours, with narrow, irregular, 



dark marks in the discoidal cell. 

 Head wide, scarcely tufted in front. 



Eyes large, prominent, naked. 



Antennm of very great length, slender, filiform at the base ; beyond the middle very gradually incrassated to a 

 long, cylindrical, abruptly terminated, slightly curved club, having two very slender raised lines on the under 

 side, with an impression between them. 



Labial Palpi small, very slightly projecting beyond the head, and elevated to the level of the middle of the eyes, 

 Second joint lengthened, and apparently increasing in breadth exteriorly, in consequence of the ridge of hairs 

 on its upper side, beyond the middle; third joint very minute. Palpi of the males larger than those of the 

 females. 



Tongue spiral, of moderate length, robust, compressed towards the extremity, and pi'ovided with lateral spreading 

 cilia;. 

 Thorax more or less robust, clothed witli woolly hairs ; wings generally of large size, with moderately strong veins. 



Fore Wings someAvhat triangular, with a lengtliened, boldly curved costa ; apical angle generally but sliglitly 

 rounded. Apical margin variable, but generally a little emarginate in the middle, and scarcely scalloped ; nearly 

 three fourths of the length of the anterior. Inner margin about as long as the apical one, nearly straight. 

 Costal vein strong, reaching a little beyond the middle of the costa. Subcostal vein with the first and second 

 branches arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell ; third subcostal branch arising at a little 

 distance beyond, or sometimes close to, the extremity of the discoidal cell ; and the fourth branch arising at 

 about four fifths of the length of the wing. Upper disco- cellular vein extremely minute and almost obsolete, 

 arising from the subcostal at about one third of the length of the wing ; middle disco-cellular short, curved, 

 and directed toward the base of the wing ; lower disco-cellular vein obsolete in the typical species, so that the 

 cell is open. Median vein strong; its third branch moderately curved. 



Hind Wings rounded, slightly acuminated at the anal angle in the males of some species, slightly scalloped along 

 the outer margin. Costal margin sliglitly rounded. Precostal vein curved outAvards. Subcostal vein 

 branching near its base. Upper disco-cellular forming the scarcely curved base of the discoidal vein ; lower 

 disco-cellular wanting, so that the narrow cell is open. 



Fore Legs of the male very short and slender. Femur clothed beneath with long divergent hairs. Tibia nearly 

 as long as the femur, thickly clothed with downy hairs. Tarsus consisting of a single elongated attenuated 

 joint, covered with a dense uniform down. Fore Legs of the female scaly, with the first joint of the tarsi 

 greatly elongated, the three following short, the last abruptly terminated ; with several pairs of spines beneath, 

 indicating the three intermediate joints through the scales of tlie limb. 



Four Hind Legs moderately long, the middle pair in the males with the femur nearly one fourth longer than that 

 of the hind legs, thickly scaly. Middle tibia of the males with a thick coat of very short scaly hairs near the
