Species of Satyride Lepidoptera. 165 



currentibus ; nervulo primo raediano post venee medianae medium 

 emisso ; venis aliis velut in Lasiommata positis. 



Alae posticse pyriformes, cella elongata de medio abrupte attenuata 

 et apice oblique truncate (fig. 5). 



Caput palpis elongatis, cirratis, articulo apicali brevi ; antennis 

 brevibus, clava gradatim forinata (fig. 5^) ; oculis exstantibus, nudis.

L. Cordace may belong to this genus ; but, as I have only seen 

 the figure, which represents this species with a simple hind-wing 

 cell, I am unwilling to include it. Geitoneura will come next to 

 Rhaphicera. 



The two following insects, though somewhat like the species 

 of Geitoneura, cannot be included, on account of the compressed 

 pear-shaped club of their antennse and the dififerent form of their 

 palpi. I therefore propose to give them the generic name of 

 Argynnina.

 Xenica, part., Westwood. 



Alse parvse : anticse elongatae, subtrigonatae, marginibus subrectis ; 

 angulo anali convex© ; venis ad basim tumidis ; cella elongata, post 

 alarum medium extendente ; venis disco -cellularibus linea obliqua 

 undata currentibus ; nervulo primo mediano ad venae medianae me- 

 dium emisso. 



Alae posticae pyriformes, cella elongata de medio gradatim at- 

 tenuata, et apice subconvexo (fig. 6). 



Caput palpis brevioribus lanaribus ; antennis brevibus undatis, 

 clava compressa pyriformi, apice reflecto (fig. 6^); oculis exstantibus, 

 cirratis.

The genus Argynnina must be placed between Geitoneura and 

 Satyrus,
