* This species is placed here provisionally, not only on account of its being a native of the Eastern hemisphere, but from the very singular arrangement of 

 the veins of its wings, especially of the hind pair ; the lower disco-cellular vein being placed almost at the base of the wing, and furnished with an elongated 

 pouch in the males. The costal vein of the fore wings is alone swollen at the base. 



Genus XVIII. EREBIA. 



Erebia p. Dalman. 



Erebia Boisduval, H. Schaffer, E. Doiihleday. 



Orkina Westwood. 



Body moderately robust, liairy ; wings generally black or dark brown ; the anterior often with one or more fulvous 

 or red patches near the e.xtreniity, bearing ocelli. 



Head moderate- sized, clothed with very long hairs. 



Eyes prominent, lateral, naked ; the anterior half differently coloured from the posterior in dried specimens. 

 Labial Palpi porrected obliquely ; the tips ascending higher than the level of the tops of the eyes, and reaching 

 further in front than the length of the head ; very densely clothed with long hairs, extended in front at right 

 angles, and almost concealing the terminal joint, which is slender, short, and villose. 

 Antennce not half the length of the fore wings, slender, the joints scarcely distinct ; terminated by an oval, rather 

 short, but gradually formed club, which in some species (Epistigne, &c.) is short, broad, and spoon-shaped; its 

 basal portion hollowed within, but its extremity curved outward and obtuse. 



Thorax short, oval, very hairy. 



Fore Wiiigs triangularly ovate, entire, and convex along the apical margin. Tlie costal margin but slightly 

 arched ; apical angle rounded. Apical margin about three fourths of the length of the costal ; hinder angle 

 rounded. Inner margin scarcely as long as the apical, nearly straight. Costal vein extending rather beyond 

 the middle of the costa, slightly swollen at the base, or not thicker than the rest. Postcostal vein slender ; its 

 first and second branches arising before the anterior extremity of the discoidal cell (the second sometimes close 

 to it, or even slightly beyond it, as in Epistigne) ; the third and fourth branches free, arising at a greater or 

 less distance apart, beyond the cell. Upper disco-cellular vein generally obliterated (in Blandina it is, however, 

 present, but very short and transverse : middle disco-cellular shorter than the outer one, but rather variable in 

 its direction (being shorter, straight, and transverse in Epistigne, whilst it is arched in Blandina) : outer 

 disco-cellular vein considerably longer, nearly straight, but oblique, its extremity being directed towards the 

 apical margin ; closing the discoidal cell almost transversely nearly at the middle of the wing ; uniting with 

 the third branch of the median vein at a shorter distance from its base than exists between the first and second 

 branches ; the third branch being angulated at the place of junction, beyond which it is nearly straight. The 

 median and postmedian veins not dilated at the base. 

 IIi7id Wi7igs suboval, entire along the anal margin. The outer margin also entire, or but slightly scalloped ; 

 beneath often marked with dark freckles, with a broader dark subcentral fascia. Subcostal vein arising nearer 

 the body than the precostal ; its branch arising at a moderate distance from the base of the wing. The upper 

 disco-cellular vein longer than the space between its base and that of the branch, and sometimes rather arched: 

 the lower disco -cellular considerably longer, sti'aight, more oblique, uniting with the third branch of the median 

 vein at a short distance from its base ; closing the discoidal cell rather beyond the middle of the wing. 

 Fore Legs of the male extremely minute, concealed among the hairs of the breast, very densely hairy. The 

 tarsus much shorter than the tibia, and very slender. Fore Legs of the female much longer, scaly, slender; 

 the outside of the tibia and tarsus witii a few rather long seta3. The tarsus nearly as long as the tibia, scaly, 

 not ver3' distinctly articulated ; the extremity armed with fine seta3-like spines. 

 Four Hind Legs moderately long, slender, scaly. Eemur clothed witliin with long hairs. Tibia armed with a
