its coll; the club is sluiuler, cylintlrical, and about one-fourth as long as the 

 Htalk. Tlie legs are very short and slender, the fore tibiae scarcely shorter 

 than the middle, and four-fifths the length of the hind tibiae. There is no 

 discal stigma on the fore wings of the male.

Type: Thecla Grxinvis Boisd. 



This genus is closely allied to Aurotis, having the third superior subcostal 

 nervule forked, as in that genus, and in contrast to the simple condition of the 

 nervule in all our other Ephori. From Aurotis it may readily be distinguished 

 by having a short triangular projection on the hind wings, instead of a long, 

 threadlike tail ; the outer border of the fore wings is also much straighter, less 

 rounded, and there is no excision of the i^mer border of the hind wing near its 

 extremity; the outer border of the same [ viugs is also more produced in the 

 subcostal area; the antennae are more tU n half as long as the fore wings, and 

 have a rather long, slender, cylindrical aLd nearly equal club. But the genus 

 is peculiar for the unusual development of the fore tarsal joints of the male, 

 which are enlarged, compacted together, and strongly compressed, together 

 considerably shorter than the tibiae, which in their turn are but little shorter 

 than the hind tibiae.
