Suh-Family Picrina\ 45 



GENUS IS. LEPTOPHOBIA. Butkr. 



Type Z. Eleone. Hewitson. 



Frontwings pointed at apex ; second subcostal emitted 

 close to end of cell ; third and fonrth subcostals forming a 

 very minute fork close to apex; upper discoidal nervure 

 emitted from subcostal at some distance beyond end of 

 cell; median branches emitted at nearly equal distances 

 from each other. 



Hindwings subtriangular or rounded; upper disco-cellular 

 very ol )lique, about a quarter the length of lower wliich is 

 much less ol)lique and slightly waved. 



Body hairy ; palpi long, hairy ; antennae long, slender, 

 with flattened club. 



GENUS 19. GONEPTERYX. Leach. 



Type G. EJiamni. Linnajus. 



Frontwings pointed at apex, costa waved and suddenly 

 arched to apex : outer margin excavated : second branch of 

 subcostal emitted some distance before end of cell ; third 

 and fourth forming a fork before aj)ex ; upper disco-cellular 

 less than half the length of lower, perpendicular; lower 

 disco-cellular strongly arched. 



Hindwings with conical caudate projection at end of 

 second median branch ; lower disco-cellular about five 

 times the length of upper and angulated. 



Body stout, hairy ; palpi moderately long ; antennae short, 

 thick with gradually formed club. 



GENUS 20. AMYNTHIA. Sicainson. 



Type A. Swainsonia. Swainson. 



Frontwings. Costa not waved ; apex not always pointed 

 {A. Lcachiana) ; second branch of subcostal emitted before 

 end of cell, or at the end {A. Ma:rnla) ; upper disco- 

 cellular more than half the length of lower and oblique ; 

 median branches emitted at more nearly equal distances. 



Hindwings with more or less prominent caudate pro- 

 jecction at end of third median branch ; branches of sub- 

 costal nervure and discoidal nervure at about equal 

 distances apart at their origins ; upj-jcr disco-cellular rather 

 shorter than lower, oblique ; lower disco-cellular angulated. 



Body stout, less hairy.
