Genus IV. GONILOBA Westw. 



Eudamus p. Boisduval. 



Epargyeeus, Creteus, Talides, Astraptes, Theacides, Telegonus, and Peoteides p. Buhner. 



Body. Head and palpi as in Goniuris. 



AntenncB terminated by a much longer, and generally more slender, club, than in the last genus, the terminal 



half of which is reflexed, forming a slender hook, acute at the tip. 

 Fore Wings long, triangular; generally marked on the disc with semipellucid sjiots. Apical margin entire, 



slightly convex towards the apex ; veins arranged as in Goniuris. 

 Hind Wings large, subtriangular ; outer angle rounded ; outer margin slightly scalloped, spotted with black. 



Anal angle produced (at the exti-emity of the submedian vein) into a very short tail, turned outwards or into 



an obtuse point. Upper disc of the wing often unspotted, but the base yellowish or metallic coloured. Lower 



disc often varied with silvery patches. 



This group is very closely allied to Goniuris ; the chief difference being the different form of the hind wings, of wliich the anal 

 ano-le is prolono-ed into an obtuse lobe or very short tail. The species are of a large size, and, for the most part, natives of America. 

 H. Creteus Cr. (.Vlardus Stull), Celajnus Cr., Parmenides Cr., See, are entirely destitute of spots on the upper side, but they are so 

 closely allied to P. Fulgerator of Cramer, &c., that they must be included in the same genus. The species are very numerous, and 

 may be arranged into a number of minor groups, according to the markings of the wings.
