b\. Fore wing : vein 5 never nearer to 6 than to 

 4 ; sometimes from or very nearly from the 

 middle of the discocellulars, i.e., half way 

 between 4 and 6 ; mostly nearer to 4. Palpi ! 

 never as in Ismeneince. Eggs various. Larvae 

 feeding upon monocotyledons ; the only 

 exception is Cupitha purreea, placed in the 

 Erynnince. 

 a2. Antennce : with the tip of club blunt, 

 never with a pouit, be that point ever so 

 small . . • • • • • • • • • • P^^'mphilince. 



62. Antennce : with the tip of the club with a 



point, well-marked in the great majority of 



cases, sometimes small, but always present. 



a3. Eyes : bright blood-red. Eggs extremely 



finely ribbed, the ribs mdistinct ; dome- 



sha])ed, about double as broad as high. 



Larvae feeding upon palms, bamboos or 



on plantains, the pupa makes a spiral cell 



and that of Gangara has an enormously 



long proboscis Erionotinm. 



63. Eyes s never red. 



a4. Breadth of head divided into the length 

 of antenna, always over 2" 1mm., 

 the least number being 2 '3mm. In 

 aU these insects the head is small, the 

 antennae rather long. The larvae are 

 very similar to those of the Baorince and 

 the pupa is also very like those of 

 that subfamily and is naked and formed 

 in an open cell made by a silk or 

 two fixed across a half cylinder so to 

 speak, this half cell being caused by 

 the shrinking of the silks: on the under- 

 sides of the leaves for Udaspes, Noto- 

 crypta and Sancus. The eggs are all 

 limpet-shaped, blood-red, quite smooth 

 standing on a narrow, shelving, basal 

 ring or band. The foodplants are 

 grasses and gingers (Sciiaminece, for- 

 merly known as Zinziberacece) as far 

 as is known . . . . Nciocryptince. 



64. Breadth of head divided into length 

 of antenna never over 2' 3mm ; nearly 

 always 2mm., or less, down to 1* 4mm. 

 All insects with broad heads, especi- 

 sl\j so in the subfamihes Baorince 

 and Erynnince. Eggs ribbed or more 

 or less smooth — always ribbed and 

 strongly so in Plastincjiince ; quite 

 smooth in Baorince and less so in 

 Erynnince. 

 a5. Hind iving : underside with white 

 dots at most, never with bands, blade 

 dots or large spots and never with 

 dark clouding or fascice or streaks of
