 wings with 8 approximated to cell to or beyond middle. 



A curious genus, yet more peculiar in appearance 

 than in actual structure. It seeras to be an isolated 

 development of Pseudopanthe.rn , perhaps with some rela- 

 tionship to Ahraxm. The two following species are 

 East Asiatic and Japanese, and I have a third species 

 from Japan, and a fourth from China.

Face smooth. Tongue developed. Palpi rather short, sub- 

 ascending, shortly rough-scaled. AntenuiB in <? stout, ciliated 

 with moderate fascicles. Tliorax hairy beneath. Femora glabrous ; 

 posterior tibiie in ^ dilated, with all spurs present. Fore wings in 

 (? without fovea ; 10 sometimes connected with 9, 11 out of 10, 

 anastomosing with or running into 12 or absent. Hind wings 

 with 8 approximated to cell shortly or to middle. 



A genus of rather limited extent, almost confined to 

 India, China, and Japan, from which countries the few 

 European species are all stragglers ; they are all found 

 native there, in company with others, and their present 

 wide distribution is remarkable, and probably to some 

 extent artificial. The genus is a development of Pseudo- 

 panthera.
