AlsB magnae : anticae elongatse, subtrigonatae, costa paulum con- 

 vexa ; margine postico denticulate ; margine interiore convexiusculo, 

 rarius recto ; venis ad basim vix tumidis, velut in Debe positis ; ma- 

 culis ocellisque ut in Lasiommata. 



Alse posticae forma venisque Debis, Samionis, Syrgidisxe. 



Alas subtus ocellis submarginalibus ; area basali striis fasciisque 

 irregularibus scripta. Antennae clava gradatim formata (fig. 7^). 



The species composing this genus seem very closely allied to 

 some of the species of Debis; and I almost question the pro- 

 priety of separating them from that genus. Although some- 

 what similar in markings and coloration to some of the species 

 of Lasiommata, they differ entirely in structure.

Alae supra flavo-olivaceae, venis ochraceis : anticae maculis septem 

 elongatis ovalibus ochraceis, prima et secunda a fasciola fusca in- 

 terruptis, tertia, quinta et sexta maculas magnas nigro-fuscas, et 

 septima maculam parvam, includentibus. 



Alae posticae maculis septem submarginalibus ochraceis, prima et 

 septima minimis, de septima ad secundam longitudine crescentibus, 

 omnibus maculas fascas includentibus ; linea marginali et margine 

 ipso post medium griseo-fuscis. Corpus ochraceum. 



Alae subtus ochraceae pallidae, cella anticarum et area basali posti- 

 carum a lineis striisque irregularibus variegatis ; fascia valde irre- 

 gulari media continua, lineis duabus marginalibus et margine ipso 

 fuscis. 



Anticie apice fuscescente, macuHs quatuor submarginalibus, prima 

 ocellari nigra ochreo cincta et albo pupillata, secunda ochracea, 

 tertia et quarta nigris : posticae ocellis septem nigris albo pupil- 

 latis, flavo cinctis et fusco circumcinctis, septima geminata, tertia 

 et quarta minimis. Corpus pallid o-ochraceum.
