Siih-Faiiiilii Pioriiuc. 49 



angulated ohlique line; no thickened longitudinal streak, 

 but the normal fold rather prominent. 



Body moderately robust, clothed with straggling hair ; 

 (palpi moderately long but thick and broad, antennie 

 moderately slender with gradually formed cluli.)* 



GENUS 30. PIEEIS. Boisduval. 



Type P. Amathontc. Cramer. 



Frontwings more or less elongated, subtriangular ; third 

 and fourth subcostals forming a very short fork before 

 apex ; first discoidal emitted from subcostal at some dis- 

 tance beyond end of cell; upper disco-cellular half the 

 length of lower, ol)licpie ; lower disco-cellular nearly per- 

 pendicular and feeltly angulated. 



Hindwings subpyriform ; upper disco-cellular more than 

 half the length of lower, very oblique, the lower slightly 

 waved, nearly perpendicular or very oblique, and almost in 

 a line with upper : no thickened central streak as in 

 Hcbomoia. 



Body less robust, hairy ; palpi moderately long, slender, 

 hairy beneath ; antennte long, with short, gradually formed 

 clul). 



This group will include P. Amafhonfe, P. Amaryllis, 

 and allies, which proliably represent the unmodified type of 

 the genus. 



GENUS 31. APPIAS. Hilhncr. 



Type A. Zelmira. Cramer. 



Frontwings subtriangular, sometimes elongated ; first 

 discoidal nervure springing from suljcostal at some distance 

 beyond cell ; disco-cellulars of nearly equal length, angu- 

 lated, nearly perpendicular. 



Hindwings. Upper disco -cellular more than half the 

 length of lower. 



Body moderately robust, hairy; palpi long, hairy beneath; 

 antennae long, slender with gradually formed club ; abdomen 

 of male with tuft of hair l)elow the anal valves. 



GENUS 32. PHPtlSSURA. Buller. 



Type P. Cyiiis. Hewitson. 



Frontwings. Second subcostal emitted at end of cell ; 



* I feel doubtful about these characters, a specimen of an allied species 

 in Mr. Saunders's Collection has bristling palpi and slender antenn?e with 

 flattened club : these characters, however, may vary as in Nepkcroma.
