SUBFAMILY PAMPHILIN^E (THE PAMPHILIDS) 



The male never has a costal fold on the fore wing, but in 

 most of the genera has a discal stigma on the fore wing, the 

 only exceptions to this in our fauna being in the case of the 

 three genera Amblyscirtes, Pamphila, and Oarisma. The 

 antennse are short, in some genera very short, clubbed at the 

 end and provided in many genera with a little finely pointed 

 tip at the end of the club, which sometimes is bent backward. 

 The third joint of the palpi is generally small, inconspicuous, 

 and often pointing forward. The lower radial in the fore wing 

 always is nearer to the median than to the upper radial; the 

 lower radial in the hind wing is generally lacking. When at 

 rest they raise the fore wings, folding them together, while the 

 hind wings are held horizontally. This attitude is character- 

 istic of this subfamily.
