Satyrus p. God'., Boisduval. 



Satyres Dumicoles Duponchel. 



Body small, very hairy ; wings entire, rounded ; fore ones with the three principal veins swollen at the base. 

 Head rather small, clothed, especially in front, with long hairs, not forming a conical tuft. 



Eyes prominent, naked. 



Antennae short, scarcely half the length of the fore wings, slender, annulated with wliite ; terminated by an 

 elongate ovate club, which is channelled beneath. 



Labial Palpi very compressed, porrected obliquely, quite straight, and elevated to about the level of the 

 top of the eyes, and advanced further in front than the length of the head, thickly clothed beneath with long 

 bristly hairs set on at right angles ; the terminal joint rather long, slender, acute, and much less slightly 

 clothed with hairs. 

 Thorax small, very thickly hairy. 



Fore Wings rather large, entire, hair}', and with long fringe. Costal margin moderately arched ; apex rounded. 

 Apical margin convex, nearly three fourths of the length of the costal. Inner margin nearly straight, about 

 equal in length to the apical margin. Costal, median, and submedian veins equally swollen at the base. 

 Postcostal vein with its branches free ; the second arising just beyond the extremity of the discoidal cell, and 

 the third and fourth at equal distances apart from the second and tlie tip of the wing. Upper disco-cellular 

 vein very short, straight, arising at about half the length of the wing : middle disco-cellular much longer, 

 directed towards the base of the wing, its tip curved a little outwards: the lower disco-cellular still longer, 

 and continuous with the tip of the middle one, oblique, directed outwards, and uniting with the third branch 

 of the median vein at about the same length from its origin as the length of the outer disco-cellular itself, and 

 rather shorter than the space between the first and second branches of the median vein. 



Hind Wings triangularly ovate, hairy ; fringe long. Outer margin very convex and entire. Inner margin 

 generally emarginate towards the extremity. Costal vein not extending half the length of the costa. 

 Postcostal vein arising much nearer the body than the precostal, branching at a considerable distance from its 

 base. Upper disco-ceUular arising at a short distance from the base of the branch, curved: outer disco-cellular 

 considerably longer, oblique ; uniting with the third branch of the median vein at a distance from its origin 

 about equal to two thirds of the space between the first and second branches of the median vein ; closing the 

 discoidal cell in a rather acute point near the middle of the wing. 



Fore Legs of tlie male small, very densely hairy. Femur and tibia of nearly equal length. Tarsus not quite half 

 the length of the tibia, simple. Fore Legs of the female longer than those of the male, very slender. Tibia 

 longer than the femur, moderately hairy. The tarsus equal in length to the tibia, very slender, articulated, 

 not dilated at the tip ; the joints ^vith very minute spines at the extremities beneath. Ungues wanting. 



Four Hind Legs moderately long, scaly. Femur slightly clothed beneatli with hairs. Tibije armed beneath at 

 the sides with moderately long and acute bristles ; tibial spurs long. Tarsus long, armed beneath and at the 

 sides with rather long bristly hairs. Ungues acute, curved, entire. 

 Abdomen moderately long and slender. 



Caterpillar glabrous, shining, marked with dark-coloured longitudinal stripes; tail forked. 

 Chrysalis short, thick, obtuse, attached by the tail. 



This genus comprises the smallest species of the present family, which are distinguished by the strongly swollen condition of the base of 

 the three principal veins of the fore wings, the entire margin of all the wings clothed with long fringe, the place of insertion of the second
