 p. 391. (Type, H. concordia, Hopff.) 



H. concordia and its allies have hitherto been regarded as 

 belonging to the genus Crenis ; to which, however, they bear but 

 a slight resemblance : their more rounded primaries, pattern, and 

 robust habit are far more characteristic of Argynnis or Atella* 

 but their nearest allies seem to be the species of the genera 

 Hamanumida and Diestogyna, from which, however, the stouter 

 and more erect palpi of the type species would at once separate it 

 if the very dissimilar character of these organs in the allied M. rosa 

 did not demonstrate the unreliability of such a distinction. It 

 may, however, be differentiated from Hamanumida as follows : 

 Secondaries comparatively smaller and less produced at anal angle : 

 discoidal cell of primaries shorter, upper discocellular not oblique, 

 inarched ; second and third median branches emitted nearer
