164 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Genera and 



Rhaphicera, gen. nov. 



Alae anticee elongato-triangulares, costa subconvexa ; margine pos- 

 tico brevi, convexo ; margine interiore subrecto ; venis ad basim vix 

 tumidis, velut in Lasiommata positis ; venis disco- cellularibus obli- 

 quis : posticse pyriformes, costa subrecta ; margine postico denticu- 

 lato ; margine interiore subintegro : alse supra velut in Satyro $ , 

 subtus velut in Ai^ye magis scriptae. 



Caput antennis alarum medium attingentibus, elongatis, tenui- 

 bus, clava gradatim formata (fig. 4^) ; palpis elongatis, lanaribus, 

 articulo apicali distinct© brevi.

 minores : anticse venis omnibus fuscis ; basi fuscescente ; fasciis 

 latioribus nigris; fascia discali ad marginem interiorem continuata ;

 latee ; area interna olivaceo-fuscescente ; serie ocellorum sex, pupillis 

 griseis ; margine externo fuscescente. 



Alae anticae subtus fascia discali tenuiore, ocellis minoribus ; mar- 

 gine postico paulum fuscescente : posticae pallidiores, ocellis ap- 

 proximantibus ; lineis mediis continuis, magis irregularibus ; lineis 

 submarginalibus magis undulatis.

Hab. North-western Himalayas. Coll. F. Moore. 



This insect has been very kindly lent to me by my friend 

 Mr. Moore; and, as it proves to be distinct from Satricus, I 

 have great pleasure in naming it after him. The genus Rhaphi- 

 cera must be placed after Ar^e. 



The two following genera are in part represented by the sub- 

 genus Xenica of Westwood ; they may be readily distinguished 

 from the other insects with which they have hitherto been asso- 

 ciated by the elongate compressed form of the hind-wing cell, 

 and also by the difi'erent character of the markings. 



Lasiommata Abeona, which was also included in Xenica, and 

 its ally of our plate (fig. 8), appear, from the construction of 

 their palpi, to be more nearly allied to Epinephele or Satyrus. 



Geitoneura, gen. nov. 



Alas magnitudine mediocres : anticae subtrigonatae, costa subrecta ; 

 margine postico integro subconvexo ; margine interiore recto ; venis 

 ad basim tumidis ; venis disco-cellularibus linea undata oblique
