HoDY small, hairy ; wings large ; hind wings more or less scalloped or dentate, beautifully variegated beneath with a 

 broad irregular dark central fascia. 



Head rather small, hairy, with a conical frontal tuft. 

 Eyes moderatel}' prominent, hairy. 

 Antenna' short, not or scarcely more than two fifths of the length of the fore wings, veiy slender; terminated by 



a slender elongated club, formed of short joints, with the tip deflexed. 

 Labial Palpi elongated, obliquely porrected upwards, extending forward more than the length of the head, and 

 elevated above the level of the top of the eyes, compressed ; the second joint clothed on the back with short 

 hairs (without a dorsal tuft), and in front with long hairs set on at right angles, not forming a dense flattened 

 mass as in Taygetis ; terminal joint continuous with the preceding. 



Thorax short, oval, hairy. 



Fore Winijs large, elongate, triangularly oval. Fore margin well arched ; apical angle rounded. Apical margin 

 generally slightly concave, arising from being ratiier angulated below tiie apex ; the margin very slightly 

 scalloped. Inner margin straight. Costal vein swollen at the base ; united with the costa just beyond the 

 anterior extremity of the discoidal cell. Postcostal vein with the first and second branches arising before the 

 anterior extremity of the same cell ; the third branch arising at a greater or less distance beyond the cell, and 

 the fourth extending to the tip of the wing. Upper disco-cellular vein extremely short, arising at a little 

 distance beyond the middle of the length of the wing : middle disco-cellular much longer, strongly angulated 

 in the middle, the angle being towards tlie base of the wing, and throwing off a false vein, which runs nearly 

 to the base of the discoidal cell : outer disco-cellular vein about as long as the middle one, straight, nearly 

 transverse ; uniting with the third branch of the median vein at the same distance from its base as exists 

 between the second and third branches; the third branch being strongly angulated at the place of junction, 

 beyond which it is nearly straiglit, the discoidal cell being closed considerably beyond the middle of the wing. 

 Hind Wings broadly ovate and very large, or of moderate size ; in the former case being more or less scalloped, 

 and in the latter more dentate, along the apical margin. Precostal vein short, erect, and nearly straight. 

 Costal vein extending quite close to the costa, to about two thirds of its length. Postcostal arising just 

 opposite to the precostal, branching at a considerable distance from its base. The upper disco-cellular arising 

 at a very short distance beyond the branch, about one fifth of the length of the wing, angulated near its base; 

 the angle throwing off a veinlet, which extends to the base of the discoidal cell : lower disco-cellular short, 

 tran.sverse, joining to the third branch of the median vein (which is angulated at the jilace of junction) at the 

 same distance from the origin of the third median branch as its own length.
