surface always, upper surface usually, with ocellate spots, wings rounded; 
primaries with rounded apices and very convex costal margin, with costal 
vein greatly and suddenly inflated. 
The genera in this group are obscurely characterized, and the species 
are most easily recognized by the ornamentation of the wings. The species 
may be tabulated as follows, and the relationship and order in which 
they should be catalogued is as in the table. - 
The larvee are very similar in all the species of which they are known; 
they are elongate, thickest in the middie, longitudinally strigose, tai] bifid, 
Chrysalis short, thick with the headcase rather incurved and obtuse The 
food plants are various species of grasses.
